I would rather live next to a hundred undocumented immigrants than one ICE officer.

Can confirm. Irvington smells strongly of burning rubber and plastic. Air purifiers on high tonight. 🤢

Also, for the MAGAts, I just want to point out that it's Vancouver, WA on fire, not Portland.

Make sure to keep your windows shut tonight, there's a #fire at a #Vancouver metal recycling plant that's spreading (probably toxic) #smoke all over #PDX.

The weather says there should be a breeze coming up later this evening but not for a few hours.

Irvington/Sabin is the same. It's smelt like burning tires here for hours.

Kristi Noem is cosplaying as a public official. In reality, she's been sent by Trump to incite violence. Don't tar and feather her as Speaker Johnson suggested for Governor Newsom. The best response to her playacting as cop? Ignore her and keep supporting our community.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem expected in Portland for ICE facility visit

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem could be coming to Portland today.

And now: some levity.

A screenshot of a social media exchange, which reads:

dismembered-jackalope: knock knock

justsomeguycore: who's there

dismembered-jackalope: deez

justsomeguycore: sigh

justsomeguycore: deez who ?

I mean... what else are we going to cosplay as? A thousand Donalds Trump marching down the road???
...Actually that might be hilarious.

DHS is a menace to Portland. Nothing they're doing is to keep people safe. They just want to play with their war toys and pretend to be big scary men. It's pathetic.

They hate us because they ain't us?

Seriously, though we're a city of cool weirdos with strong socialist leanings and conservative types will always attempt to destroy what they don't understand.

DHS is a menace to this city... also, this is a very contained protest, one block in south Portland. I mean, the rest of the city was all the normal brunches, farmers markets, and parks festivities this weekend. There was a whole marathon without incident today.

Thank you! Keep the military off my street, please!

The president is a mentally unstable fool and shouldn't command anything. The only people terrorizing Portland are ICE and federal officers who are assaulting peaceful protestors. You're god damned right Portland Police are refusing to help them.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

I am coming to terms with the fact that there is a very real possibility that I will be "unalived" by members of the United States Military for exercising my constitutionally guaranteed rights.

I am an American citizen afraid of my own government.

Katie Kaitchuck @katiekaitchuck.bsky.social · 8d

Yeah. No. This is a bad article. The quotes gathered sound like they're all from people who are just uncomfortable with seeing homeless people and don't understand what it means to live in a city with diverse people. You really missed the mark here.

Our cities are not your warzone.

Americans in uniform swore an oath to the Constitution.

They are not sworn to a fox news host who dresses like a man trying to convince us to invest in his ponzi scheme nor a pedo/Pol Pot wannabe.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Sen. Adam Schiff @schiff.senate.gov · 10d

He wants to dictate what the press can say.
What a university can teach.
Whom a company can employ.
And to whom the law shall apply.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.
