For the thinking tech bro... is this REALLY what you were going for when you voted for Trump?

Portland is a great place to show the absolute hypocrisy of the Trump attack on the American people.

Last time I was there was June and have been visiting on and off for years. Sure, the place has its problems but 'armed insurrection'?

No.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Nope. Been in this for years in Oakland CA.

We're making progress. But it doesn't come with a bunch of performative nonsense but in dealing with real issues, transparency and accountability.

Aren't the hostages supposed to be out today?

Ah. 'pragmatic noise'

Pragmatism is definitely needed.

And the opposition seems to have no record at all. I'd say the activist community has the same issue, exacerbated by recent events: funding for location, shelter and services

This starts with accountability, a critical lesson Oakland learned.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
