Thus, we get this. Autocorrect.

Regardless of their intelligence, they must first ensure they have the permission of their corporate overlords before presenting any agenda. Torn between the money and the people. This, we get this.

The quality of Nazi opposition in Portland. Black Rebel. Andrew Duncombe. Close ally of Gavin McInnes. Large part of the 2020 Nazi presence in Portland.
I know this guy. During my employment at Yosemite National Park, he was one of my assigned house mates. He is a dangerous, armed coward. Beware.

The problem will not be violence from protesters. It will be, as is usually the case, from the police and Nazi infiltrators. See Portland 2020 and currently at the ongoing ICE protests. There are local Nazis planning disruptions. Everyone needs to take exceptional care and look out for each other.

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword.

We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

Now with #AltText

A black background has white text at the top that says “amphifa.” Two flags over each other, common antifa flags, have a black flag and a green one. An image of a green frog facing left with a blue ascot sits on the black flag. Circling the flags is the text, “amphibians against fascism.”

He meant 510mm, which equals 1 feet 8.079 inches. Sounds about right.

1. "Compassion fatigue" is just you saying you're an asshole

2. People treat homelessness like an unchangeable law of physics instead of a basic public policy problem which can be — and has been — addressed and solved when adequate resources are allocated

Trump and the right wing bullshit machine working in high gear to motivate and justify a (potentially violent) federal response to unrest that is largely a figment of their imagination and (where it is real) a reaction to federal agitation. A vicious, intentional, and intensifying cycle.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

I've lived in Portland for 5 years. It is a beautiful, peaceful city with many of the same problems other cities have due to the failures of the system. We, as a community, are working daily to achieve a fair and equitable existence for everyone. These fascists lust for war, within or without.

Framing domestic political opponents as "terrorists" and characterizing an American city as "war-ravaged" is simultaneously absurd and ominous.

Leavitt: "President Trump will end the radical left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all. The president has directed Secretary Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland."
