#SavePortland

Composite of 4 screenshots (s/s) from the quoted video showing as section of a sarcastic Portland war zone video on TikTok made to mock the latest bout of Trumpian gaslighting of America in using his ICE Gestapopo to target states and cities who did not vote for him, even when crime is far higher elsewhere. But you know this, right?

Someone with a plastic sword in one hand is walking across a Portland street saying "SHOTS FLYING IN PORTLAND GET READY" as they hold an espresso shot from a coffee van behind them in one hand, and then drink it at the end.

From Tik Tok itsrachellecochran, so maybe it's them idk.

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

Interesting hearing Amerikans complain about bailing out Argentina

Of course I would too

BUT Australians are paying an open-ended $360Bn+ possibly $1Tn+ for AUKUS submarines from Amerika we will never get!

No Australian politician ever sought a mandate for that

$40 billion could modernize water systems in every lead-poisoned town in the US and bring high-speed internet to rural America, but instead it's going towards bailing out Argentina

I’m guessing Blue Sky here will suspend my account again this weekend as they did during the last No Kings protest. 🤷
If they finally delete it, I’ll just start another one because Nazis are stupid and pathetic wimps. 🖕#EpsteinFiles #NoKings #NoPedophiles
