DAVID MARCUS: My run-in shows that, in Portland, it's the cops who are handcuffed
Antifa protesters have controlled streets outside Portland's ICE facility for over 100 nights while police were ordered not to engage the masked radicals.

Jon Stewart - “Did I miss Vancouver attacking Portland in a fierce battle of mellow artisans? Don’t shoot till you see the whites of their cold foam half-calf latte art!” Humiliating Trump is so fun. Not only Trump, but Fox News looks like fools. This is a win win for Portland in so many ways!

Continue to make a fool of Trump, hang out at Ice with your signs, bring your coffee, bring your kombucha, bring the dogs, bring the kids, bring the bubbles, costumes are especially useful.

This is what we need, National attention and we need to keep this narrative up!!!! Steven Colbert - “My fellow Americans, I come to you tonight with the sobering news that our nation is at war. With Oregon. It’s...’Waregon.’

Opinion piece in Oregonian. Oregonian is under a subscription now, but hoping this can be seen. www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2025.... Bottom line, Portlanders be smart, don't take the bait. Think about what you can do to humiliate Trump, prove he is lying and ridiculous in sending Troops to Portland!
Editorial: Portland must resist becoming Trump’s political prop
President Donald Trump's announcement that he will send federal forces to Portland is neither necessary nor justified, the editorial board writes. But Oregonians must resist reacting impetuously to Tr...

Universities must teach students how to listen across lines of difference, Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock argues. Otherwise, "young people risk becoming more isolated, more easily manipulated, and less prepared to lead in a pluralistic democracy."
How to Think, Not What to Think
College is not just about transmitting knowledge—but learning and practicing the skills that connect us to one another.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Affects of a Trump Presidency - Lost Tourism for Oregon. Been expecting this news, Oregon tourism down 21% comparing July 2024 to July 2025. Canadians aren't coming down as they usually do. Canadians' Visa card spending in Oregon in July 2025 was 1/2 that of July 2024. www.wweek.com/news/state/2...
Canadians and Other International Tourists Shun Oregon This Summer
President Donald Trump’s threats to make Canada the “51st state” have alienated the biggest source of international tourism to Oregon.

Trump set the world on fire for the fun of it and now he has lost any pretense of authority or control. I could only hope that some number of Americans realize that their vote, as citizens of one of the most powerful countries in the world matters. It isn't all about YOU and your religion.

Heather Cox Richardson thoughts. youtube.com/shorts/k5mUH... . Democrat politicians are largely responsible for the rise of Trump's popularity because they stopped listening to and communicating with a large number of people in the country.

There are things to be learned from the 2024 election and Donald Trump's presidency and there are things Trump does very well. He is getting things done, they are appalling things, but he is getting them done. If Trump can get all these appaling things done, why can't Democrats get stuff done?

Great discussion with Heather Cox Richardson and Gavin Newsom, www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNu6... discussing the destruction of representative government. Republicans in Congress and Senate no longer represent the interests of the people who voted for them, instead they simply do what Trump says.

Brilliant discussion between Jon Stewart and Mehdi Hasan. Mehdi Hasan is smart, well read and quick with a great understanding of how things work. IMO, the best part of this discussion is the last 18 minutes, although the entire discussion is highly informative. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IXX...
