Just drove 84 east and it smells bad from like 20th to 60th probably quite toxic. Close y'alls windows.

I'm seeing that smoke from this is going as far as Clackamas, I'm in Lents and it smells really bad. But I also hear fire trucks not too far from me.

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

The Oregonian editorial board linked this post in their Trump editorial today because they know it’s true and that they are partially responsible for promoting the idea that Portland is a crime ridden hellscape.

They want to pretend it never happened when confronted with their own complicity.

Mitch Green @councilorgreen.bsky.social · 9d

I don’t want to hear anymore “Portland is dying” narrative or vague complaints about “ANTIFA” as the clarion call for action in the city. All of that led to Trump targeting us. Groups like People for Portland, associated right-wing media ecosystem, and political opportunists own this.

lot of problems with that piece but here's one: if anyone tries to blame "empty downtown" on anything other than

1) the pandemic
2) ted wheeler destroying the big food cart pod so his developer friends could build a hotel no one uses

they're either a moron or a developer

I am going to go to war with @PortlandPolice!
The agency submitted testimony that says I am a counter protester who intentionally agitates Antifa to get assaulted. I am beyond pissed. Anyone who knows me, knows that I stand by myself, I am non violent, never approach the crowd, and quietly film.
I just want to do my job. It's GAME ON!
