“Love not hate, don’t take the maga bait” is the theme in Portland according to my source on the ground. My son.

PDX is not playing the reel. Have any other airports opted out of doing so?

Looks like they saved you some time.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

Outside Portland’s ICE facility, months of confrontation have given way to relative restraint and whimsy.

The POTUS is being manipulated, and he doesn’t have a clue.

At least you’re not a OR State fan.

I worked in Portland for 15 years. It’s definitely “unique.” If they can continue making the call for NG troops absurd, & refuse to take the bait ICE is offering, they will have pulled off something amazing. Replicate across the country!

I assume this works about as well as a man telling a woman to “calm down.” I have no proof though, because my husband is not a fool.

As a military mom, I want my family to get a paycheck. However, as a taxpayer, I abhor the executive branch taking power from the legislative branch. I also abhor the legislative branch surrendering their power.

If protestors can continue to refuse to take the bait, they will make any deployment of NG look ridiculous.

PROFOLUS: Researchers headed by Nadav Ahituv wondered what would happen if normal cells are given the ability to outcompete cancer cells for nutrients. This curiously drew their attention to adipocytes or fat cells.

It’s in hidden in the Washington Park Max tunnel. So devious!

I tried to pause the video to see if some protesters had crossed the blue line but couldn’t really tell one way or the other. I get the frustration of the protesters, but you are absolutely correct about them not taking the bait.

I’m all for her fighting this fight from the right, but gotta believe she has an angle other than her adult children losing their healthcare. Is she trying to move a bit to the center to position herself for a run for the Senate?

Were her arms always twigs? You served with her in the House, correct, @adamkinzinger.substack.com? She looks a bit emaciated.

I’ve heard a lot of grumbling about changing the name of Salem Parkway. Racism still thrives in Oregon.
