Attacking brown/black folks and protesters plays well for his base because a dogshit economy and Jeffrey Epstein don't. He's going for a power grab to hurt people AND make sure headlines cover this instead of the unpopular stuff. It's not a distraction, it's how you fill inches and split coverage.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

While we were sleeping:

A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from deploying any federalized National Guard—Texas, California, the state’s own—in Oregon.

That’s big news. Even bigger: She’s decided to hold a trial on the merits. That is: She’s putting people under oath.

Screenshot of court order, which reads in part:

“A combined hearing on the preliminary injunction motion land a trial on the meries
under Rule 65(al(2) is set for October 29, 2025l before the Honorable Judge Karin J. Immergut, in Courtroom 13A, beginning at 9:00 a.m.”

This feels like evidence Trump's aides are deliberately gaslighting him, which is unfortunately very easy to do with dementia sufferers (Trump did it to his father) and which aides are using to seize control of the US military for their own purposes.

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

The post mentioned with alt text. Dont stop talking about the lies they are spreading to justify sending troops to blue cities. This shit is infuriating.

Screenshot of Trump speaking to reporters "Trump: Portland is burning to the ground - insurrectionests all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That's the only reason they say there's nothing happening."

The President of the United States is lying and/or delusional, and it seems like we should be talking about this and nothing else.

It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests.
They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes.
