Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

100% this. i love you Portland.

Nick @ecosozialismus.bsky.social · 16h

My read is that fascists in the Trump Admin had Portland central to their martial law plan — 100% confident they could poke us & get visuals they wanted — and we, incredibly, have denied it to them in the funniest way possible.

It’s honestly an incredible achievement. So proud of Portlanders.

Okay, so I am 100% for animal costumes, dancing, music, or whatever other way people want to protest against ICE, Trump, fascism, or similar.

I think saying that it's "effective" because people dunking online makes me wonder what the fuck people think the end goal of it is.

Nobody is happy, from the businesses overseas to the Americans waiting on their packages. And it's all Trump's fault.

It’s wild to see the Pope, street gangs, police, protestors, regular people who would have been unnatural allies to say the least, coming together because everyone understands that ICE is the new Gestapo and we have a duty to stop them.

And then you have police union president Aaron Schmautz lol

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

So they didn’t award the psychopath who wanted it – but gave it to someone aligned with his values?!

The ghost of Ibsen must on the #Nobel committee, because they LOVE drama.

Two little kids were running a hot chocolate stand in the war-torn #Portland morning rain.

I had a two dollar bill in my pocket, and they gave me a frog-colored cup. 💚🐸

Day #3 of Happy Songs. "You Fascinate Me" by the Offs reminds me of every late Saturday night at the Mabuhay Gardens, where the punks would dance to this soul/punk blend of brilliance. Guitarist Billy Hawke intro'd me to lifelong friend @sabesywabesy.bsky.social. Absolutely joyful!
