The coming national horror is that if Portland's *truly* minimal level of protest justifies federalizing and deploying troops, they can and will be federalized and deployed anywhere the President wants and whenever he wants.

Gabriel Malor @gabrielmalor.bsky.social · 1d

My initial read on this argument: Judge Nelson is eager to disagree with his 9th Cir. colleagues that federalizing the NG is reviewable at all.

He's also eager to disagree with Judge Immergut that the Portland protests were small and under control.

McArthur about the ICE protesters: "these are violent people." Says the president is entitled to say "enough is enough."

Asks for a stay pending appeal. Sits.

Argument is over.

i have seen a sudden rise in people criticizing those for speaking out about the Gaza genocide as "virtue signaling"

tbh, this alone is a massive shift. critics have been reduced to this ridiculous tepid criticism because the facts are unassailable.

Why on earth would a beloved heretofore apolitical figure take a position that this country is literally arresting people for if it wasn’t sincere

larry @larrrrrry.bsky.social · 15h

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

Went to the airport to pickup the Flotilla heroes who returned home after being kidnapped by Israel. Can’t stop thinking about these people going on little boats, trying to deliver food. Against all odds. Doing it anyway. The Portlanders who came out to embrace them.

There are so many good people.

It’s effective for us legally right now as we try to stop the military from invading through the courts.

Gold is being sifted from sand. This moment is not defining, it’s revealing. Who you are in this moment counts, and we will make unlikely friends. Any enemy of fascism is a friend of mine.

We are going to win.

It’s wild to see the Pope, street gangs, police, protestors, regular people who would have been unnatural allies to say the least, coming together because everyone understands that ICE is the new Gestapo and we have a duty to stop them.

And then you have police union president Aaron Schmautz lol

It’s my last week at my favorite newspaper in Portland, @streetroots.bsky.social. I’m proud of the work we’ve done the past few years and can’t wait to see what’s next.

Excited to join my second favorite newspaper @portlandmercury.com later this month!

Representative Hoa Nguyen was the only legislator I lobbied who stepped off the house floor to meet with undocumented immigrants who had driven hours to support Food For All Oregonians. She took time to know them and fight for them. I’ll always remember that interaction.

May she rest in peace.

CNN anchor can't help but laugh as Trump Cabinet member brutally mocked by official

A Portland City Council member made a CNN anchor chuckle Thursday after calling Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem a "renowned puppy killer" who is "afraid of protesters wearing frog costumes and chicken costumes."
Angelita Morillo, a Portland City Council member, had CNN's Boris Sanchez laughing with her comments about the visit with DHS official Noem, as city and state leaders have blatantly told the Trump administration that they do not want the National Guard in Portland, Oregon.

This was a comment in a raw story post about you making the CNN anchor chuckle
"Who is this woman? She looks like she's maybe 15???"
