Some additional info from a fellow Portlander: after he left the protest, the Portland Police Bureau that he runs declared it a riot and began tear gassing the protesters as well. A lot of people here now believe that he’s lost control of the police, and that they’re operating purely under the direction of their…

Portlander checking in: I’m really happy that Ted showed his face last night and got a little bit of first hand experience with what’s going on in front of the Justice Center. It would have been great to see him out there 55 nights ago, but better late the never.

If anyone thinks Trump is now taking COVID-19 serious and that's why the convention was cancelled they're fooling themselves. He knew there would be another small crowd and didn't want to be embarrassed again.

She was diagnosed with COVID in March and passed away in July so that timeline does not add up at all.

Miller’s family hates him so much I wouldn’t be surprised if they mailed him grandma’s corpse holding a sign reading You did this

Honestly the fact that they’re required by law to turn over all their data to Uncle Xi was what I was expecting when I clicked on this article. Also I hated that song more than anything and I still agree with you that it’s more worthy of being the number one result than any of the other crap

Am I the only person in the world that doesn’t have a TikTok account? I feel like I’m right in the groove of too old and too young for the service. Seems like it’s kids or boomers, and nothing in between.

They probably collected enough data from you during that time to not care about you watching any more videos.

And Trump’s people still doing shit like this:

My 5 year old wears his mask when told to do so without complaint. This is a nation of adult-babies.

So she actually took what her employer preached seriously—and got fired.

I wish I had a more eloquent, reserved, or intellectual response to this. Alas.

YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS fuck that fucking non-apology and the misogynist brain whence it came.

“I have a wife and some kids who are girls” needs to die the same death that “I have a black friend” did.

It’s so fucking satisfying to hear her calling out the hypocrisy and non-evidential citing of wives and daughters in these kinds of statements. 

Don’t cry for Heather. She’s already dead inside. 

In SoCal, we had a similar situation (mask wearers and non mask wearers fighting in a Ralph’s) and the worker pepper sprayed them.

You have to have a brain to injure it traumatically. 

The problem with all that is coverage is completely different than 40-50 years ago thanks to social media and mobile phones. Constant video of Police inciting violence against protestors is a constant on the internet. And considering that people’s opinions on Police are at an all time low, I don’t think Trump will…

What Trump Wants: To incite violence and hope that lots of LEO’s get hurt or killed. Then he will try the Nixon “bring peace to the streets” strategy.

He’s trying to make things worse.  That’s the entire point.

Because they’ve done such a bang-up job in Portland ‘preventing’ violence.
