OK, so who’s going to be responsible for paying for all of these lawsuits? How can these so-called government officials be so happily harming citizens exercising their rights?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Today, #GovernorTinaKotek met (DHS) Secretary #KristiNoem at the #Portland airport upon the Secretary’s arrival.

“I reiterated again that there is no insurrection in #Oregon. Twice now, a federal judge has affirmed that there is no legal basis for military deployment in Portland.”

Happy World Teacher Day! Today, we honor the incredible educators who nurture young minds and shape their future.

They show up every day for our kids, so we must show up for them. That means fighting for fair pay, safe schools, and the resources every classroom needs to thrive.

The point is they have a never-ending pit of power and money! Once they have this, they have to maintain it at any cost. I don’t know. I guess we could look at Russia and see how that has worked out for 25 years.

It’s heartbreaking that that even has to happen. This is common trauma to the community, families, children, unnecessarily.

🔥 HEROES. We see them in successful resistance & opposition movements against authoritarians. The brilliant historian @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social spoke with @marcelias.bsky.social about this.

We hunger for a pro-democracy leader willing to sacrifice in order to inspire us for the long game.

A civil war is a violent conflict between organized groups within the same country, fighting over political control, government policies, or to achieve separatist goals.

The federal government's main legal defense would be the Insurrection Act of 1807, except for the only disruption in Portland is having ice and federal troops here.

About 400 people of all ages and races turned out to protest in Portland, including families with children and retirees with walkers. As people chanted in front of the ICE building, a large group of federal officers moved into the crowd and pushed some protesters.

No! We don’t need the Project 2025 Military babysitting the one ice detention center. Hopefully soon to close!
We don’t like propaganda, a police state, or turning the military into a lap dog! Best to leave!
