The resistance is beautiful 🙌
Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

This was not a surprise to anyone who followed me and other actual reporters who know Supreme Court procedure.
The only places it succeeded were to generate donations for Liberty Counsel and to prompt clicks through ragebait headlines from your favorite resistance grifters.
Sorry, it's true.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

Ninth Circuit grants en banc review of the panel decision allowing the Trump admin to send National Guard troops to #Portland 🥳

Ninth Circuit administratively stays the order staying Oregon District Judge Immergut’s order (yes, you read that right) enjoining Trump from sending the National Guard to Portland. Stay in effect until 9/28 at 5 pm to allow for completion of en banc proceedings, and expresses no view on the merits.

And now Judge Sidney Thomas has, sua sponte, requested a vote on whether the #Portland #nationalguard case should be reheard en banc, with briefs to be filed by Weds 9/22. #ninthcircuit #enbanc

Hell yes. An #antifa dad joke, I’m so here for it 🏆
Hell yeah Portland. Every town, every city needs to find an iconic fighter again fascism. Skateboard Kid in LA, or Scooter Guy in Chicago, or here, we have an inflatable frog. Without that personal identity, our flag, our banner for our city, the fight is much harder to unify ourselves.

While the U.S. president is entitled to a great level of deference, Immergut wrote, “a great level of deference” is not equivalent to ignoring the facts on the ground.”
She also found the deployment violates the Tenth Amendment. A huge win for Portland and all of our constitutional rights.

The judge was a Trump appointee and we still got the win.
National Guard troops temporarily blocked from deploying to Portland, judge rules

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway
