Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isn’t only anger—it’s the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

Rather than it being a “hate-America” rally, Saturday’s No Kings rally is an opportunity for all of us who love America to express our determination that our nation’s ideals not be crushed by the Trump regime. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/theyre-calling-it-a-hate-america

This article is written like Canada is just randomly boycotting American goods because it misses its friend — “amid bruised feelings” about tariffs? How about amid a climate of increasingly authoritarian actions and with Canada being threatened with annexation.

Why can’t the press get it right?

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

There is no such thing as genuine progressive public opinion, and therefore mass and mobilized opposition to Trump doesn't count.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...
Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver
Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.
