@repbonamici.bsky.social This was 2 blocks from Poynter MS yesterday. The Hillsboro city council is refusing to have an emergency meeting because some believe this isn't a local issue. I bet to differ.

I can tell you Portland is not "war ravaged." It's beautiful here, the rainy season has begun in earnest. The air smells like petrichor, and the soothing patter of rain permeates life.
One wonders what the moron-in-chief is trying to accomplish with this language.
My only hypothesis is very dark.

This is important. Call your senators, the CR should not pass. I don't want to be alarmist but ... This has been the only light at the end of the tunnel. If the CR passes we're on the road to guillotines.
Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

The Democrats still haven't found anything or anyone they're willing to fight for, only things they will follow rules for. And when the GOP easily trounces them by breaking the rules, they issue a strongly worded statement saying we must fight to defend the rules. This has gone on for years.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Just caught the John Oliver about deportation last night. I believe this (youtube.com/shorts/LvZfr...) is one of the most profound images of our time. This is happening again, on a larger scale. She is reunited with her parents, but how many aren't?
