It's pretty awesome that the road to resisting #tyranny is paved with furries.

A wedding outside ICE, Trump’s troop deployment and the courts, Portlanders mystified by ‘war ravaged’ rep: Get caught up

In this wait-and-see moment, the tone and tenor of protests in Portland have markedly changed.

My initial read on this argument: Judge Nelson is eager to disagree with his 9th Cir. colleagues that federalizing the NG is reviewable at all.

He's also eager to disagree with Judge Immergut that the Portland protests were small and under control.

Gabriel Malor @gabrielmalor.bsky.social · 3d

McArthur about the ICE protesters: "these are violent people." Says the president is entitled to say "enough is enough."

Asks for a stay pending appeal. Sits.

Argument is over.

Pastries and Pajamas for us.

Calisthenics and kale bagels for them because Hegseth wants his troops to be healthy.

Judge Immergut in Oregon v Trump now:

"I grant plaintiffs second motion for a TRO."

Federalized Texas and California Guard to Portland is a "DIRECT CONTRAVENTION" of court's TRO from Saturday.

Both on 12406 statute and Tenth Amendment grounds.

The federal regime is declaring war on it's own citizens.

If you've ever asked yourself what you would do when the time came -- this is it.

Keep speaking, keep advocating, keep showing up. If you cannot physically protest, write letters and make calls.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 7d

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Day 8
The enemy has lost their damn minds.

This account will follow the legal battle until things are resolved or escalate.

We'd like to remain amusing, but in times of #tyranny we need to stand together.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Day 7:
We've been watching the invaders assemble more forces. Another group has shown up. They seem to dislike us as well, but they have begun fighting with the invaders.

Day 6:
The air is thick with tear gas and irony. Our kombucha reserves hold strong, but the oat milk is nearly gone. Morale wavers.
