There's a guy near the MODA center in PDX throwing knives into the grass near the bus station according to a friend.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

She just needs to be honest. She's into the chicken guy. That's really why she's insisting that she needs to be so heavily involved in peaceful protest in Portland. We saw how she was checking him out.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

Yeah. She's pretty easy to see through tbh though the one question I will always have is why she does her eye makeup the way that she does. I've never seen anybody ever do it that way. The rest of her is straight forward "I'll take whatever money I can get if it puts me in front of a camera".

My reply is +151 characters over the limit: “It was great when it happened. It's too bad not enough blowback occurred and she's still quoted in media today. I mean, caping for explicitly anti-LGBT Moms For Liberty while running an HIV clinic in the same hospital as one of the first AIDS wards while minimizing COVID harms and downplaying the importance of vaccinations while Omicron burned through thousands deadweekly. so schools would reopen is a HELLUVA thing to not ruin someone like that O_o”

I don't know who needs to hear this but this is health disinformation. RFK Jr isn't a doctor. He was educated as a lawyer but lost his ability to practice law right out the gate because of his heroin addiction.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

This violent rhetoric is deliberate. Noem is a fascist in a fascist regime that wants to criminalize and ultimately kill its political opposition.

Evan Hill & @evanhill tweets on October 8th, 2025:
“Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.”
