Today we’re throwing a giant puppy party to say: Paws Off Portland! And yes, we do happen to be throwing this puppy party on the same day that Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, is reported to be on the ground in Portland.

Stay calm. Hold onto each other. If we do this right, the invaders will be left picking up trash, and this nightmare will never become what he desperately hopes it will be.

We have to maintain calm in the face of this storm and make every move in opposition a conscientious one. We are required now to hold the line in true courage and solidarity, and not give this monster and his monstrous plans the fuel they need to actually burn us to the ground.

Keep breathing.

They KNOW us. They know our grit, and our courage, and our willingness to throw ourselves between tyranny and our neighbors. They are betting on us giving them visible, tangible reasons to accelerate…and we have to resist the urge to comply.

We must resist smarter, not harder.

ted protest…but if the past ten months (and the invasion of these other cities) have taught me anything, it’s that we can’t afford to be reactionary.

We have to pause and consider not only the best, most strategic way to confront this situation, but how they are banking on us reacting.

This is the designation of a “well-regulated militia”. Governors have the responsibility and duty to protect their state from the federal level.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! CALL TODAY!

There are layers of safeguards that prevent the armed forces from being actively used on U.S. citizens outside of federal buildings and property.

The National Guard is specifically under the command of the Governor of the State to explicitly defend against federal interference (as seen in LA).

NO MILITARY TAKEOVER IN OUR CITY AND STATE!

The National Guard remains subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. And that has very strict and black/white determinations on what's allowed and what isn't.
