I know things look horribly bleak right now. Please, do not give up hope. We are not alone. Never were. Never will be. Good will triumph. Humanity will win. 💓🌎🙏
Black graphic with the words, "HERETIC COFFEE CO., $310,918.57 TO KEEP PEOPLE FED" FB post from Heretic Coffee PDX: $310,918.57 Over 11 thousand people have donated. Norway, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Egypt... and that's just the emails I've been able to get to. All around the country there are coffee shops, restaurants, and cafés offering SNAP Breakfasts, SNAP lunches, and SNAP dinners. We've said it on every post - when the system fails us, it's up to us to take care of each other. And the world (yes, literally, the world) has done just that. We are mobilizing and taking action as soon as possible to begin distributing the funds to the appropriate places, as well as continuing our SNAP Breakfast (where this all began) even after SNAP benefits are back. All details are on yesterday's post on how we are doing that. Also - I want to take a moment to talk about those who have show up in the most incredible ways. Our volunteers did not sign up for this attention or traffic at our shop - but I am so insanely proud of them going above and beyond. PLEASE, thank them when you see them. Also, our DMs are flooded with thousands of messages. If we haven't been able to respond to you yet, just know that we are so, so thankful for your support. Portland, please come eat. The world has you. - josh

Closest thing I have to that is a bottle of Baby Bear Syrah signed by Kyle MacLachlan (from his winery). An equally lovely gent! 😊🍷

A couple more for the scrapbook:
Picture of a woman in Victorian dress having a tea party outside the #Portland ICE facility, with the caption: "I think Portland is onto something with their weird ass, silly protest techniques - These macho military men look *so ridiculous* next to a Victorian woman having a tea party on the sidewalk as they stomp by with their big guns and shields. It ruins their visuals of authority, intimidation, and control. Be like Portland. BE SILLY. @ texbeth" Post on Portland subreddit, titled "More photos from the Frontlines," with a picture of three men playing Twister, captioned: "It was harrowing. We only had time for 3 Twister games before the artillery began. The carnage was gruesome, never have I seen such a lopsided Rumikub score."

Actually, to see how things *really* are in Portland, all you have to do is look at the pictures right-wing "journalists" & others are posting from the roof of the ICE building here, which give a great view of the area around it. (They forgot to edit in the fires and carnage, apparently.) 🤷‍♀️
Post from Seth Colter, captioned "Update: Just opened up Twitter and this was the first thing in my 'for you' feed. Two of those 'local journalists' covering the protests at the ICE facility who somehow were able to get a picture of themselves on the roof of that facility. Surely ICE had nothing to do with this, yes?", quote-posting a tweet from Katie Daviscourt that included a picture of her and @ honeybadgermom on the roof of the ICE building in Portland, captioned "On top of the roof at Portland ICE with @ honeybadgermom!" Post from Bluesky with a picture of a man, standing with an American flag, on the roof of the ICE building in Portland, captioned "Travis Neliton, former Beaverton cop turned steroid-taking Mortgage Lender made it into the Portland ICE facility yesterday. It's really going to be a right-wing badge of honor to get a pic on the roof there."

Yeah, they're big mad about Sortor's arrest. 🙄
Tweet from AAG Harmeet Dhillon, with the caption "Portland: It's FO time. Buckle up.", quote-tweeting a post from Nick Sortor that reads, "BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi has ORDERED a full investigation, led by Asst. AG Harmeet Dhillon, of the Portland Police Bureau, following my wrongful arrest last night, Bondi confirmed to me. FAFO @ PortlandPolice. @ AGPamBondi personally called me to deliver this... (Show more)" followed by pictures of AG Bondi, AAG Dhillon, and Sortor's arrest.

When this first came to light, I saw a post that said the "enigma" reference was intentional, bc "enigma" is an anagram of "gamine," which is... quite the term. 😳🤢🤬
Dictionary.com definition of the word "gamine," a noun that means, 1. "a neglected girl who is left to run about the streets," and 2. "a diminutive or very slender girl, especially one who is pert, impudent, or playfully mischievous."

Got a US Chef Store near you? Looks like they may have them (judging by the "individually wrapped" distinction in the second listing).

First half of the High Castle map is coming along nicely. Maybe he'll cede the West Coast to Putin. 🤷‍♀️🤔

Reminds me of this gem...
Meme of the hypocrisy of Franklin Graham. "On Bill Clinton: 'Mr. Clinton's extramarital sexual behavior now concerns him and the rest of the world. If he will lie to or mislead his wife and daughter, what will prevent him from doing the same to the American public?'" "On Donald Trump: 'I think some of these things - that's for him and his wife to deal with... and I think the same with Stormy Daniels and so forth is nobody's business.'"
