Sign: picture of Stephen Miller, quoting him: “The powers of the president will not be questioned.” Picture of Theodore Roosevelt, quoting him: To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." sign: Prison without due process is a concentration camp Picture of Trump “I did that." Sign: People taken from their homes, workplaces, schools. People being swarmed by plain clothed ICE and police, being sent away without due process in broad daylight Children sepaarated from their parents 1930’s Germany? Nope Present day America. What you would have done during the Holocaust is no longer a question! sign: “There’s a reason you separate military and police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.” So say we all!

I’m grateful to those who made/carried these signs on the April 5th march in Portland; they've become my mantras.

They bear frequent reposting.

Portland, Oregon #PDXHandsOff #HandsOff

I've attended protests in Portland off and on since 1969, and I have never seen ANYTHING as large as today's march. What a turnout! What good energy, not only from attendees but even from the folks in vehicles stuck on freeway off- ramps for 2ish hours. 💖
