Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

I admit it. Just now my husband burned the roast salmon with smashed olives and set off the smoke alarm. #PortlandFires

It gives me a bit of hope that my Midwestern MAGA relatives have not checked in to see if I've survived this time around. Maybe it's too unbelievable for even hard-core MAGAs? #PortlandStrong

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

It’s Day One of Trump’s government shutdown. And what’s he been up to?

He’s bailing out Argentina’s economy while forcing our air traffic controllers and service members to work without pay. What happened to America First?

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Sending federal troops into our cities doesn’t make communities feel safer. If anything, it sows distrust and fear.

Senator Jeff Merkley @merkley.senate.gov · 27d

Trump is sending troops to Portland with the goal of “doing a number” on the city.

He wants to stoke fear and chaos and trigger violent interactions and riots to justify expanded authoritarian control.

Let’s not take the bait!

Portland is peaceful and strong and we will take care of each other.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Had a nice time last night visiting gardens and eating out in Portland. Had to dodge a glass or two of chardonnay.

Here are three photos of places that have been described as "war-ravaged": Ukraine, Gaza, Portland. See if you can guess which city someone is lying about.
