Portland continues to disprove the lies of the propagandists and show the world that we are whimsical, non-threatening working class Americans exercising our Constitutional rights and the regime is unhinged, extreme, and as Alan Ginsberg said, "one mind, brute force, and full of money."

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

If he lived in the real world and didn't lie constantly, he'd be sending these troops to the cities with the highest murder rates: Jackson, Mississippi, and St. Louis, Missouri.

But he doesn't live in the real world, does lie constantly, and couldn't care less about people being murdered.

Trump: "We're heading to Chicago, because we want to save Chicago. Do you know they had over 4,000 people killed in Chicago over a short-- 4,000 people. And I have to watch this slob of a governor stand up and say, 'Well, everything is okay.'"

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The only difference between Peter Thiel and a homeless person raving about the end of the world is that Thiel can afford to rent a hall while the homeless guy makes do with a subway platform.

Thiel’s talks, which began on 15 September and ended on Monday, were long and sweeping, mingling biblical passages, recent history and philosophy and sometimes deviating into conspiracy theories. He peppered them with references to video games and TV shows along with musings on JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. He likewise recalled conversations with Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu and spoke at length about how he thinks Bill Gates is “a very, very awful person”.

Humor, whimsy, levity = powerful tools in disproving the lies of the regime. We are not violent domestic terrorists. We are non-threatening Americans in silly costumes. This is how we make the regime look both extreme (bc they are) and show their claims are ridiculous.

Finally, Pritzker says more Dems must sound the alarm, though he notes some exceptions (like Chris Murphy).

"I am surprised that more leaders have not stood up," he says.

He urges people to join No Kings protests to let the country know something's wrong. 5/5

🏢 Shutdown Update:

The Senate wrapped up their last vote last night (10/9), and surprise—still no budget deal. The next vote isn’t until Tuesday, 10/14, so the earliest feds might be back to work is next week—two weeks into this mess. Hang in there, everyone. #GovShutdown #BudgetStalemate
