Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Willamette
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Frog Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Willamette
Rode the six hundred.

Trump is ready to platform every regional crank and reactionary to try to portray Portland as a war zone.

But he already lost this battle.

He’s been exposed (again) as a brazen liar who will say anything to get what he wants.

Trump doesn’t care about anyone, least of all the people of Portland

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Trump officials discussed sending elite Army division to Portland, text messages show

A high-ranking White House official was indiscreetly texting about the Portland, Ore., planning last weekend, according to messages shared with the Minnesota Star Tribune.

Bolshetrick @bolshetrick.bsky.social · 11d

This is a clear example of the kind of surveillance our city is under, Portland is under essentially a military occupation.

A laser was pointed at a helicopter and someone was tracked to their home with several immigrants who are now in ICE custody.

for months, I've been waiting to see what Councilor Zimmerman would do if/when the Oregon National Guard was deployed in Portland.

Still waiting!

Connor @gayloader.bsky.social · 11d

Councilor Zimmerman’s lack of comment at this moment in time speaks louder than anything he could say now. If he is unable to oppose fascists verbally I am concerned with his ability to protect and serve the people that elected him. Refusal to stand against fascism is a slippery slope to acceptance
