More hope that we, as a city, can rise up to meet the challenges ahead, whether they’re homegrown or from a petulant manchild who’s ready to turn our country’s bravest into a goose stepping parade. Onward, Portlandia.

It’s how despite many of our disagreements over policies to solve our challenges, we’ve united in defending our home from the malarkey coming out of DC.

I’ve never seen so much pride for our city since 2020. Yes, there is anxiety and uncertainty. But I also sense more hope.

That glosses over the challenges that many Portlanders face, whether they are unhoused, unsure if they can put food on their table, are in fear of being detained, or get to work because their bus doesn’t run when their shift starts.

That's where you should start deleting apps from your phone or even leave your primary phone at home and use a burner. And if you think you're just a muggle, think about what photos are on your camera roll or what you post on social media. Be safe out there.

Now if you have reason to think you could be a target (you've been to a protest or you're a journalist), you will want to think ahead a bit more. The Israelis pioneered the art of accessing smartphone data without user authentication for many years now, so know that governments like the US can too.
