They can have your anger. But don’t let them steal your joy.

i have maintained this entire time that the only way we are getting out of this is violence (and/or intervention by the international community.)

you get enough people with nothing to lose, who have lost all their rights and livelihoods, and that's the inevitable conclusion.

Over 3000 people showed up to protest fascism today in Lake Oswego, a small Portland suburb known for its “sundown town” reputation. #NoKings

I’m not a domestic terrorist, Karoline. I’m a middle aged mom; i coach kids’ sports. I’m a physician who serves her community. And I’m here to protest fascism. Nobody pays me to speak out against authoritarianism. I just know it’s the right thing to do.

right? just funnel my tax money into my state and programs for my state, instead of the federal government, who is using it for violence against its own citizens, building a $200M ballroom, funding genocide. etc. let my money be used to give the people of Oregon health care, child care & education.

so, this is illegal, but when has that stopped them... straight up propaganda on the Forest Service website. THE FOREST SERVICE, ffs.

can verify for yourself: go to fs.usda.gov.

nicole-without-an-h. @nkellanb.bsky.social · 11d

True. The ONLY violence is enacted by these military cosplay fools. Against unarmed, nonviolent, non-threatening protestors. You can come on over here to portland to see for yourself.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 11d

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

this is the equivalent of telling your classmates about a summer camp boyfriend when you go back to school in the fall.

some serious George Orwell level shit here.

nicole-without-an-h. @nkellanb.bsky.social · 15d

took my dog for a run today, suited up in full camo and dodging snipers, ducking behind burning trash cans.

kidding. we went jogging in a state park, on some of the hundreds of miles of local trails IN Portland proper, and saw a couple deer.

War-ravaged Portland tonight. Harvest moon and Mt. Hood from my back deck.

of course it's a cover-up. the fact that it is so aggressive of a cover-up means that the information in those files is very likely snuff-film-level of heinous and that the reach is DEEP into positions of power.

last i checked, driving a car and honking and yelling is not a crime (perhaps a traffic violation,) much less one justifying excessive force. even if she was driving and honking, the dude got OUT of his VEHICLE to shoot her. clearly he was not in danger. he should face charges for attempted murder

i am convinced based on the INSANE lengths they are going to keep it under wraps that it's snuff-film level heinous in those files.

day 1 of the War of Portland: I sit in the trenches (of my yard) with coffee. We all got flu shots today, then I drove by a protest with senior citizens holding signs and playing music. There was honking; impending domestic terror? I listen for sounds of antifa in the distance. Might go for a run.

nicole-without-an-h. @nkellanb.bsky.social · 26d

do the ants attacking my hot tub count as "domestic terror" here in portland? can i blame antifa?
