They’ve long had it out for Portland.

This is a clip from my now-infamous 2020 conversation with the Portland DA

And a link to the story I wrote after Andy Ngo seemed to take it to heart.

"I have watched the faces of these kids. The way they go blank. The way they stop making eye contact. The way they fold in on themselves, getting smaller and smaller in their seats."

No child (nor adult) should feel this way. They don't just preach hate, they teach our kids to hate themselves.

Nothing Christian about America's new version of millionaire preachers and a President whose best friend was a sexual predator. The President the religious right loves because he let's them interfere with schools teaching science, and ban books, and fight his culture wars.

NEW STUDY

Since I was born, 500 Black neighborhoods have vanished

And 500,000 Black people have been lost

All due to urban revitalization projects

Like the one for LA’s new coliseum — for the Clippers and ‘26 Olympics — that’s destroying Inglewood

From Watts to D.C.: How 500 Black Neighborhoods Vanished in 45 Years

America’s gentrified neighborhoods have lost 500,000 Black people, while gaining residents of every other race, a study finds.

Jesus is teaching are in the gospels of Matthew ,Mark, Luke, and John.
Regardless if you believe in him or not.
His teachings don’t support conservative Christian values.
Praying before going out to kidnap strangers to our lands off the streets.
Not sure Jesus would support that.

New talking point from Mike Johnson is that it's a "hate America" rally. I'm sure we'll hear more GOPers uttering the same thing.

They will stop all forms of public protest, including speech. Trump bragged “we got rid of free speech” because flag-burning is bad.
They are not just making Antifa the enemy, but Domestic Terrorists so they can use ISIS style military tactics against the resistance (think Venezuelan boats).

Don’t be fooled by talk of “safety.” Trump’s Antifa Roundtable is cover to stop the No Kings March. It’s how every crackdown starts: invent an enemy, then outlaw resistance.
