A little perspective of #warravagedportland : This photo was taken from SW of the #pdx geographic center. Way in the back, circled in red, are 5 towers in the far SW of PDX. Behind all those buildings is one tiny block with protestors on it. Roughly 85% of PDX exists outside of this photo entirely

Picture of the deep southwest of Portland from a tower on the MAX line in the "Central Eastside". Occupying 1/35th of the image are 5 towers way off in the distance... almost too hard to see on the photo.

@heidilifeldman I've got to say... this release is so sterile... I mean, it is good news, but it reads like a white white collar criminal embezzling funds from a hated multinational corporation.

It should be written with anger and ferocity - "Violating democratic norms" is about as flowery […]

Share thisFederal immigration agents have seized two North Portland men, Rafael Arriola Caballero and Felipe Aguilar Gama and quickly deported Caballero in actions that continue to reverberate in the neighborhood and the state. “Caballero was violently detained when he was recovering from elbow surgery. ICE agents broke his car’s windshield and pulled him out and twisted […]

I keep wondering if there's a reason the #portland protestors aren't locking down the entrance gate with people in sleeping dragons. I remember them being quite effective in Humboldt County during the timber wars.

They were welded segments of steel pipe you stuck your arms in, and inside there […]

> How many headlines do there have to be saying: "ICE agent arrested for kidnapping and held without bail" before many agents start looking for other jobs?

https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/115328776289216064

RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist (@[email protected])

#uspol #politics Making the job bad news: > Suppose that when an ICE agent tries to arrest someone, state and local officials demand to see their identification and the warrant for arresting that person. If the agent fails to provide one, the state law-enforcement officer could say: "Since you are apparently not working for the federal government and have no arrest warrant for this person, I have to assume you are a common criminal trying to kidnap someone. Kidnapping is a state crime. You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, etc." Then the ICE agent is handcuffed, taken away and charged with kidnapping. ICE agents who break down doors to gain entry to buildings and can't prove they are federal agents following lawful orders could be arrested for burglary or breaking and entering under state laws. Having states aggressively enforce their own laws against individual agents and doing their best to not have them released on bail changes the incentive structure for wanting to work for ICE. How many headlines do there have to be saying: "ICE agent arrested for kidnapping and held without bail" before many agents start looking for other jobs? The whole article on how to defeat #Trump #blackmail is excellent. Please boost so the idea takes hold, especially if you k ow people in state and local law enforcement. https://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2025/Items/Oct06-1.html #BoostingIsSharing #ice #state #Newsom

If you're serving in any capacity in any branch of the U.S. Military, take a moment to learn something from a soldier who died for what the USA should stand for.

@heidilifeldman I emailed Kotek months ago telling her she needed to prepare a defensive military stance. I don't think she did, and this looks similar enuff to war-waging that I worry we may find out I was right.
