First #Portland built stores out of straw. Antifa huffed and puffed and easily set them on fire.

Then we built our stores out of sticks. Better, but still very flammable.

Now, after watching some youtube, we've decided to build our stores with plywood. It's is fire rated, so wish us luck.

This is a president who leads through fear – and many in his own party can’t even stand up to him.

But I have faith in the American people, and in the judiciary. We must all recognize the moment we’re in.

We've been told "DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL" for so many years that it's become #taboo.

Most of #GenZ has NEVER touched a dial - many have never seen a dial.

The consequences of dial touching have been forgotten, so GenZ may become curious, and try touching dials again.

We cannot let this happen.

#Apple what is up with all these AI-generated garbage ads you keep putting on Apple News?

Aren't you supposed to be a little concerned about *who* is advertising on your platform and *what* they are showing to your users?

A lazy AI slop photo of a non-existent hat purported to be a real object, showing multiple misspellings, two fundamentally incorrect US flags, among other errors.

Nearly every ad on Apple News looks like this trash, and it makes even the "real" ads from legitimate advertisers also look like trash.

The president must follow the Constitution. If he wants to push the boundaries, we’ll hold the line in court.

This is America. The U.S. military has no place in our streets.

Portland is peaceful. There is no reason to deploy National Guard here.

Should be a good followup to the #AnarchistJursidiction campaign #Portland had, oh, gee, almost exactly five years ago. Hmm, trying to remember what the cause of that was.ANARCHIST JURISDICTION or WAR RAVAGED!? YOU DECIDE!

That's still not Portland. It's a photo of demonstrators protesting against the G8 summit in Germany on June 2, 2007, by AP photographer Fabian Bimmer.

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The Ninth Circuit just granted an administrative stay preserving the status quo: the Oregon National Guard remains federalized but the president cannot deploy them.

We'll share more updates as we have them.

Bring the temperature down a bit.

"War" is exactly what Trump is trying to do - he's going to keep using violence until he can provoke a response, then he'll use that as a justification to deploy the military everywhere or worse.

Don't take the bait.

Yeah, I said "pdx" instead of "Portland" to hopefully keep out the non-local comments.

Make sure to keep your windows shut tonight, there's a #fire at a #Vancouver metal recycling plant that's spreading (probably toxic) #smoke all over #PDX.

The weather says there should be a breeze coming up later this evening but not for a few hours.

We got a second temporary restraining order last night, pausing the president’s attempts to deploy National Guard to Oregon. The president keeps trying to find workarounds.

We look forward to having a hearing on the merits of the case.

#Oregon's Attorney General @agdanrayfield.bsky.social is fantastic.

Other states maybe take note that it now requires THREE restraining orders to stop the President's nonsense.

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

No means no in #Oregon.

I hope Voodoo Doughnut sends him a case of cock & balls. Trump has no idea what he's getting into by messing with #Portland.

A federal judge Sunday night issued a new broader order barring any National Guard members from being relocated from any state for federal service in the state of Oregon.

No. Say “In a survey of 1200 people, 25% say they did xyz.” This does not mean “25% of all US adults did xyz” it means 300 people surveyed said they do xyz. Implicit in surveys like this is the assumption that everyone is the same, not to mention unbiased and truthful.
