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...

Hell yeah @picklesbaseball.bsky.social get 'em!

Post on the Portland subreddit from user dominic60 titled "We have a good mascot". It shows the Portland Pickles mascot Dillon T. Pickle in front of the Portland ICE building, holding a sign that says ICE SUX

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.

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.

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.

Yes. Sadly, those are what's left of Portland's bragging rights -- great food, beer, wine, coffee and donuts. Oh, there's also cannabis and sex shows.

Jeffrey Sens @jeffreysens.bsky.social · 21h

My alt text will suck, but this is going around now. Portland frog facing off ICE really has become a mascot here.

A painting of a lone green and white belly frog wearing a blue scarf is facing off a line of feds, who are in helmets and faceguard and carrying batons. A line of tear gas flows up into the sky from the cops.

Flight delays started to climb Tuesday evening across the United States amid air traffic controller staffing challenges, as people responsible for guiding planes through the skies approach nearly a week of working without a paycheck thanks to Trump’s government shutdown.
