BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?”

🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

And there was a knit-in yesterday in front of the ICE building. Lots of little old ladies (like me) sitting in chairs and knitting.

I used to live one block from here (on Lunt and Ravenswood). This is chilling.

A man was just abducted by ICE on Clark and Lunt, feet away from our campaign office.

Meanwhile, here in war-torn Portland, I'm going to go get my Covid shot, take my dogs for a walk, watch the Mariners game and write postcards to support the 3 Dem PA Supreme Court justices running for reelection in the November 4 election. #Portland #Mariners

Portland Propaganda Busted as Noem Stares Down Flag-Draped Chicken

Empty propaganda: Noem posed for conservative influencers, including a convicted 1/6 insurrectionist, as she stared down a man dressed as a chicken in what Trump called "war torn" Portland.

I'm watching the Blue Jays/Yankees game now and a graphic showed the Mariners start at 11am PT tomorrow. They keep changing the starting time so who knows?

Diane @tonawandagirl.bsky.social · 3d

A guy wearing a "Dump 61 here" caught it. Incredible!

Diane @tonawandagirl.bsky.social · 3d

He looked great in the sixth, but why not. With the bullpen we've got, play it safe. Gotta love that Tigers bullpen! Naylor wore out Flaherty with that long at bat early in the game.
