#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois.

"We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

If there’s any *real* black bloc at #NoKings (and not a fascist op like that recent Joey Gibson thing at ICE), they’ll once again be the ones between the normies and and any fascist counterprotesters.

People seem to forget that there literally was a black bloc contingent at #BeTheSpectacle in 2019. They were the ones literally standing between the part of Waterfront Park where the normies were and the part where the Proud Boys et al were gathering.

So the fascist right is trying to stir up trouble in Portland by attempting to convince black bloc to disrupt #NoKings. #PDX

Disastrous, cowardly move by @trimet.org. Kudos to Zachary Laureitzen from Oregon Walks for this quote:
Zachary Lauritzen, a CAC member of executive director of nonprofit Oregon Walks, said he was caught off guard by TriMet’s decision. “PBOT did their analysis and said full BAT lanes were possible. Amazing! To have Trimet, our transit agency, the folks who should be the biggest advocates for excellent transit, choose to recommend this half-measure is mind boggling,” Lauritzen shared with BikePortland this morning. “The project team has moved further and further away from BRT and should call it what it is: a nice transit improvement. It’s not BRT and it’s not going to transform 82nd Avenue as people have asked for and been expecting from half a billion dollars in investments.”

Unfounded claims of 500% and 1000% increases in assaults against ICE officers and a crackdown on “doxxing” of ICE agents looking like a red herring in greater federal effort to justify military deployment to U.S. cities @shaanthx.bsky.social reports

ICE promised doxing cases against Portland ‘anarchists.’ Months later, no charges filed • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Three months since Kristi Noem vowed charges against Portland "anachists" for doxing, it appears her agency has yet to follow through.

BikePortland obtained via a public records request, letters from two law firms that intensely oppose the bus lanes. The firms represent Washman (which has two car washes on 82nd), Fubonn, and a strip mall owner.

Among the cornucopia of horrors pouring out in our daily news, you may have missed this one. It’s an amicus brief, though it’s not at all friendly, arguing that trans girls shouldn’t play sports on gi...

If you always mean to add ALT text but you forget until it's too late, there's a toggle to prevent that in the accessibility section of your settings!
Screenshot of my settings screen. The accessibility section with “require alt text before posting” is highlighted by a hand drawn dark pink oval drawn around it.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

when any person's face can be pasted into any face-shaped hole, it doesn't make things feel "personalized"; rather it negates the idea that there is anything personal about a face
