Long, but worthwhile, thread on the personality and strategy of power-behind-the-throne, Stephen Miller.

1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

Oregon National Guard general says his troops would be protecting protesters and Oregonians at the ICE facility if they were to be deployed.

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.

Do the fools in the White House think that sending goons to the streets of our cities to harass our neighbors would scare us into submission?

My mother coined a phrase today while we were chatting about the political nightmare going on.

Me: "Whatever is in the Epstein Files has GOT to be bad."
Mom: "Really bad - but he keeps trying to chaos is way out of it."

"Chaos his way out of it" is a beautiful (accurate) turn of phrase.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Be prepared for increasing medical costs!

Due to the rising costs of medical
tests, all you can do is pee under a
tree and wait a bit:

If ants gather = diabetes.

If grass dries up = high salts.

If it smells like BBQ = high
cholesterol.

If you forget to pull up your pants,
you got Alzheimer's.

Scenes of carnage and destruction on the streets of Portland.

Spread this widely. The world must know. 😂

Courtney Vaughn @courtneyvaughn.bsky.social · 2d

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Portland is a “war-ravaged” city that is “on fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

💯%

RSVP-ing helps organizers know roughly how many people will show up, but it is never necessary.

Only about 1/3rd of people who end up attending a rally actually sign up!

Washington County Democrats @washcodems.bsky.social · 2d

We've having a No Kings event in Beaverton.

If you live elsewhere, please look up a rally near you! We need a huge turnout across the country to let the administration and their enablers know we're not afraid, not shutting up, and not stepping down.

I’ve repeatedly said we need messengers not martyrs. The below link will let you sign up for a No Kings Protest near you.✊🏽

If you’ve never been to a protest, grab a friend & attend. We have a Constitutional right to protest. Use it while we still can.❤️
