Artist, dog and cat lover, avid reader.
Also rapscallion, ne'erdowell, and questionable morals.

No idea how all of this works.

Don't forget the child rapist part. A child rapist is in charge of our military. What is the punishment for child rape again?
With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

Last night we popped into downtown Portland to see the one and only @timothysnyder.bsky.social speak. As he pointed out, Portland is not a “war zone”, look at this beautiful city.

Whether it's Obama wearing a tan suit or Trump declaring "Chipocalypse Now" and pledging to unleash "the Department of WAR" on America's third largest city, leaders of both parties have shown disregard for presidential norms.

There's a name for unidentified security forces throwing protesters into unmarked vans at the direction of an authoritarian government: fascism.

Senate Democrats supported the amendment.

50 Senate Republicans opposed it....so it failed.

Tells you a lot.

House Speaker Mike Johnson directed House Republicans to flee D.C. and won’t swear in Representative-elect Grijalva because he’s terrified of releasing the Epstein files.

The American people want and deserve transparency and justice.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

I get that they are looking for an excuse to go super sayan on the protestors but to lump emt's and local police into the protestor box seems to me to reflect something wrong in their psyche.
ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver
Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
Here’s video of the incident

Call: Oregon’s under federal attack: a lawsuit to grab private voter data and an order to federalize our Guard for Portland.
Our leaders fought back—
Sec. Read refused,
AG Rayfield won TROs,
Gov. Kotek/Mayor Wilson & our delegation spoke out.
Tell them: stay strong for Oregon!

Today in war ravaged Portland, the protestors were making a mess! Windows, windowsills, rooftops - nothing was safe! Even the junior protestors were squawking. We’ll keep feeding them just to keep the peace…

The Portland War Zone isn't for everyone but at least the chaos is locally sourced.
