Oregon has, as an undercurrent, what I would call the “libertarian impulse” — the need to say ‘f*ck you, I’m doing my own thing.’ That’s why, running alongside what people imagine to be the sort of hippy dippy stuff, are separatist movements/overt white supremacists. Cc: @sethcotlar.bsky.social

Overheard this same kid telling himself "There are people who aren't as fast as you. You have to be patient with them." Further evidence that he's a young hero in training.

There's a kid in my neighborhood who is always running. Yesterday I saw him stop, pull out a tiny bound notebook, open to the center and quickly scan the contents with a look of deep contemplation. He tapped the page with the back of his hand, said "Yes. Become stronger," and broke back into a run

Folks, see the details local journalists post about breaking news events when verifiable info is limited. ⤵️

Name of agency. Location. Time. Source. Context about local area and confirmation by local Rapid Response group.

Stop sharing accounts that solely post "Holy Sh*t, ICE!" with dramatic video.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Massive escalation at the Portland ICE facility. Worst I’ve ever seen. More pepper balls than I can count. Teargas in the middle of crowd. Violent arrests. Some type of either noise or rubber bullet shotgun fired into the air then later aimed at protesters chests/heads at near point blank range.

Feds shot a member of the press, John Rudoff, in the arm with a pepper ball. My ears are still ringing.
