Gen. Gronewold says OR Guard would train for “protective crowd control,” protect protesters, and follow lawful orders
—though once federalized they report to USNORTHCOM.
“Full force” isn’t Army doctrine.
“We’re the home team—treat troops with dignity and respect.”

Art calms us, connects us, and gives us purpose. It heals our bodies, minds, and communities. More than that, it’s an act of rebellion, a tool for hope, and a legacy that outlasts us all.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute.
But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption.
We’re taking to the streets again on October 18 to say NO KINGS. Make a plan to do your part to turn this into the largest show of defiance against Trump’s regime yet. 👇

If people would stop providing these skills,
the ruler could not rule.

Trump’s immigration machine is abducting Oregonians without cause—including four U.S. citizen children in my district—and detaining them in a windowless cell with NO access to counsel.
This is not law enforcement. It’s authoritarianism.
