Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future: We are noticing.

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

This is the Willamette National Cemetery, a veterans cemetery 10 miles outside of Portland. If the Republican Party wants to find Antifa around Portland, there are thousands of them here. And they want to know why the GOP has joined the fascists they died fighting against.

First there was the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd.

Now the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters.

People are fed up!

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

“Portland’s reputation for weirdness is warranted, but there’s depth to the city beyond its quirks. Its dining scene is one of the country’s finest, and next year, the James Beard Public Market will open across 38,000 square feet downtown, expanding Portland’s offerings.”
