I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

This made me laugh so hard. Second screenshot is of the video posted by Benny Johnson of the event.

BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stares down army of Antifa and a guy in a chicken suit from the rooftop of the ICE facility here in Portland.
Noem says:
"Hey; Guy in the chicken suit. You can do better.
Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed."
Noem isn't chicken: [chicken emoji]

A view from the roof of the building. There are about 15-20 people visible in total, several of whom appear to be reporters. Most are holding signs. They aren’t even taking up the whole sidewalk. One guy is wearing a chicken suit.

photo taken outside of a domino’s pizza showing two federal police officers exiting the domino’s carrying probably 15 pizzas, and heading to their ugly police SUV.

Not a dumb question! There’s a currently a local option levy on the property tax bill that funds a good chunk of the parks programming. That’s going to expire, which will leave a huge whole in the parks program. So there’s a campaign ahead of the November ballot to support a renewal

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 6d

here’s an interesting prompt: what are the things you’ll compromise on with regard to price, and what are the things you won’t?

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 6d

totally fair, i have things i will compromise on (undershirts, drum heads, coffee) and things i won’t (boots, drum sticks, soap/shaving products)

The empire is not insurmountable. They rely on posturing but they’re highly disorganized and fragmented.

Let's be clear: Trump's attacks on "antifa" are an attack on America. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

Everything is terrorism in Trump’s America

But don’t call that fascism. That would be bad.

rene gonzalez embracing Trumpism to satisfy his brand of grievance politics is disgraceful. he’s directly embracing NSPM-7 which essentially labels anything in opposition to Trumpism as terrorism. completely mask off.

We never need this guy back in a position of power.

Rene Gonzalez tweet. Rene For Portland ® @reneforportland • 9/23/25
l've seen political terrorism at my doorstep, for which my family has never received justice.
I'm glad Antifa is finally designated a terrorist organization — and I look forward to a day when Portland's press isn't so dismissive of the threat and impact on local democracy.
