ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

If I worked for the Democrats, I’d immediately use the footage from Portland today to cut a commercial that says “Republicans are cutting your healthcare so Trump can fend off violent Antifa terrorists in chicken costumes.”

The case may be the first documented incidence of a documented Oregonian and U.S. citizen being swept up by ICE in an immigration raid.

Everything sucks right now, but allow me a moment of triviality: I liked TLOAS. I thought it had some bangers on it and it was fun. Deep? No. Best writing? No. I don’t need deep, sad music in this current moment in time.

The Oregonian editorial board linked this post in their Trump editorial today because they know it’s true and that they are partially responsible for promoting the idea that Portland is a crime ridden hellscape.

They want to pretend it never happened when confronted with their own complicity.

Mitch Green @councilorgreen.bsky.social · 13d

I don’t want to hear anymore “Portland is dying” narrative or vague complaints about “ANTIFA” as the clarion call for action in the city. All of that led to Trump targeting us. Groups like People for Portland, associated right-wing media ecosystem, and political opportunists own this.

The so-called "paper of record" tries to caution New Yorkers against Zohran with a smear-job article about Portland's Socialists in Office. Embarrassing! Seems like the genocide-denial has melted some brains over there.

Official statement from Team Toddler re: *that* NYT piece:

🗣️Lol. LMAO. We especially appreciated this photo of our opposition

Paragraph from article reads "at a downtown art gala last month, affinity for Portland's socialists among champagne-sipping attendees was in short supply. The event celebrated the opening of a museum exhibit showcasing the collection of Jordan Schnitzer, a local billionaire and philanthropists." and it's followed by a photo of two champagne-sipping attendees at the gala

Not only does this story get a number of basic facts wrong, it doesn’t take time to actually explore why Portlanders elected these folks. Coming in with a pre-baked PDX story to fit a NYT narrative about NYC is harmful, especially at this moment.

Just as a reminder that tactical frivolity is a valid form of non violent protesting and that people in Portland are *very* aware of the dangers of our current administration.

People were literally kidnapped off the streets in 2020, Portland knows what fascism looks like

Trump’s deployment of troops to Portland is a dangerous escalation of authoritarianism. Now is the time to find our own ways of standing up and fighting back to preserve our democracy. Fellow vets: we need you to muster. And those serving: you can refuse an unlawful order as you may receive it.

We need a diversity of tactics in this moment - we need protestors, organizers, educators, community builders, and more. We’re not gonna shame people for not doing the thing we’re doing and we’re not doing the good vs. bad protester thing. We have to leave that in the past.

I’m in the occupied Antifa zone of Oregon, and the only violence that’s occurring is the fact that it’s the end of peach season at the farmer’s market.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
