This is what it's like in Portland all day every day in every neighborhood.

When they say the city is "burning down" they mean it in the Sean Paul sense.

Just have to take a beat to say that the people that have long warned about state violence and the militarization of law enforcement were right.

Like *not* burning to death in an urban wildfire? Think a lot about Taylor Swifts Jet or 71 corporations?

YOU can regulate oil corporations to STOP storing OIL in Portland w/ a letter. I used Breach Collective’s email form here as a template: actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

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.

Easy ninety second task to ask elected officials to stop expanding fossil fuel infrastructure in city limits, especially where it’s gonna liquify into the willamette river when the earthquake hits:

Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, *but* we have an opportunity to make a least one thing less stupid and dangerous.

Please submit a comment to the PDX city planners asking them to prevent any further expansion of liquid fuel storage at the CEI Hub and mandate a fuel drawdown.
