It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."

Very unpopular Trump policies

👎Militarization of American Cities

👎Tariffs

👎Taking away ACA subsidies

So unpopular that Trump fears a BIG BLUE WAVE 🌊 in 2026 Midterms

That's why he wants to stack the deck to help Republicans win in 2026

California has an answer to Trump

Just a little trip down Trump's 1st term #FarmBAILOUTS Memory Lane.

Blurbs from Bloomberg TV on Feb 21, 2020

And ... LOL those bailouts were also necessitated by his dumb Trade War and ... LYING even way back then that #FarmBailouts would be PAID from the Tariff $$ "coming INTO the Country".

Obviously, the Trump administration is going all in with their misinformation/propaganda campaign re: the left & Portland. Wouldn't it be nice if the msm pushed back on their divisiveness with actual video of Portland and the real protesters?

I've said it dozens of times. City government should put up live cams around the ICE facilities, the downtown area, and have them broadcast live feed, 24/7, on the city's website so people can go look for themselves whenever they wish.

If I lived in Portland I’d be filming daily videos of the reality there and sending them to every single person in my contacts.

Just in case you wanted to check up on us through facts and reality and not filtered through the administration's never-lifting fart cloud.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

In July 2025, I spent 4 days in Portland. Our hotel was downtown.

I didn’t see any fires.

I didn’t see any riots.

I didn’t see any crime.

My only complaint was that the oatmilk latte was kinda expensive, but I just don’t think we need to send in the National Guard for something so trivial. 🤷‍♀️

Trump is putting Argentina first and America last.

In week 2 of the shutdown:
💰 He gave $20 MILLION to Argentina
💸 Announced new tariffs that’ll raise prices even more
🚫 Started firing furloughed workers
💃 Is building a White House ballroom

Correction: $20 BILLION (not Million) TO ARGENTINA - to BOOST the re-election of Argentina's OWN flaming chainsaw-wielding RWNJ Dictator.

Just Donnie raining American Tax Dollars on South America's reigning mirror image of himself.
