Regularly, friends and colleagues who know I live in Portland ask "How are you doing???" in reaction to all the propaganda they see about Portland. Two answers: 1) don't believe the propaganda, and 2) check this out. This is part of the reason Portland is awesome.

15 videos show how Portland protesters countered Trump’s rhetoric with whimsy and humor
Naked bicyclists, craftivists, roller skaters and at least one wedding showcased Portland's offbeat culture and challenged the feds' version of ICE protests.

An amazing movement. I'm not on Instagram but I read that as of Wednesday they had raised over $200,000 from across the world. They expected to raise maybe a few hundred dollars. Consider donating!

I suspect the protests are much scarier to the administration than they let on. Why? Because it proves that people can still connect, come together, and show their power. Of course it's more than just protests, but the protests are visible, tangible, overwhelming, terrifying evidence.

The shamelessness and the propaganda - coming from Noem in particular but the whole administration - is truly Nazi-level shit. I don't use that word lightly. Read Safire's Berlin Diary and you'll see the parallels. An aggressive imposition of a false narrative.
