I asked my students to research Trump's attempts at military occupation in cities across the US, analyze the various resistance strategies, and make recommendations to Portland resistance movements.
This is my favorite recommendation so far:
"Portland actors should continue to protest freakishly"

This is the attitude every leader should be bringing when the most vulnerable are threatened by the most powerful.
To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:
I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.
Your health care is still legal and protected.
I'll always fight for you.

We’re so sorry for your loss, cutie!! 😭💜

In Aussie slang “do a Bradbury” describes a surprise / lucky victory. In 2002, Aussie skater Steven Bradbury got to the semis of the Winter Olympics because the world champion was disqualified. Bradbury then won the semi when everyone in front of him fell over (which then also happened in the final)

The Bundy occupation at Malheur in early 2016 (and the lack of consequences they faced for it) was a sign of what was to come. Right wing white anti-government vigilantes cast as “patriots.”
NEW: Tina Peters is rejecting a J6er's call to storm a Colorado prison and free her.
Peters is distancing herself from the jailbreak scheme and violent actions after allies and her attorney talked about using force or violence to free her and punish those keeping her in prison.

I think it’s bad that the median Democratic position when it comes to trying to talk some sense into Republicans is to be like, ‘Remember when you guys were sensible like Ronald Reagan?’
A party that constantly has to hand it to Ronald Reagan every chance they get is not a party that represents me.
