Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, *but* we have an opportunity to make a least one thing less stupid and dangerous.

Please submit a comment to the PDX city planners asking them to prevent any further expansion of liquid fuel storage at the CEI Hub and mandate a fuel drawdown.

Charge for the guns!” he said.

Trump is ready to platform every regional crank and reactionary to try to portray Portland as a war zone.

But he already lost this battle.

He’s been exposed (again) as a brazen liar who will say anything to get what he wants.

Trump doesn’t care about anyone, least of all the people of Portland

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

This is a clear example of the kind of surveillance our city is under, Portland is under essentially a military occupation.

A laser was pointed at a helicopter and someone was tracked to their home with several immigrants who are now in ICE custody.

for months, I've been waiting to see what Councilor Zimmerman would do if/when the Oregon National Guard was deployed in Portland.

Still waiting!

Connor @gayloader.bsky.social · 15d

Councilor Zimmerman’s lack of comment at this moment in time speaks louder than anything he could say now. If he is unable to oppose fascists verbally I am concerned with his ability to protect and serve the people that elected him. Refusal to stand against fascism is a slippery slope to acceptance
