And don't forget the terrorist priest who was hit in the face with a pepper ball.

Well, they are in fear of public safety. They do not want it at all. They said it right there. No lie detected.

Those Creative Writing classes are really working for Tricia McLaughlin. Any time now she will graduate to writing scripts for CSI.

Did anyone else notice one of thugs yelling at the people filming with their cell phones to "BACK OFF!"

I saw where ice pepper sprayed 27 Chicago police officers the other day. I'd like to point out that police officers are considerably better trained than ice fuckers are. Just saying.

Death to ICE

Mildred Downey Broxon's avatar

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.--Robert Frost, FIRE AND ICE

I did a new Substack page. It's got a relatively giant praying mantis, a wonderful billboard and some terrific old churches. You should go look! It's a nice way to spend a few minutes on a Sunday morning.

I think people need to start carrying balloons filled with oil based paint to throw at the windshields of ice vehicles.

They will not be able to get that paint off easily, they will not be able to flee like the cowards they are, they will be trapped, and they will not want to be sticking their heads out of the window to see where they’re driving!

I would have been throwing things from that apartment at their windshield.

I don't make a habit of watching SNL unless I hear about a great skit. Last night was Poehler and Fey doing bondi and noem and I'll probably check that out.

It wasn't very good. When you have people like Bondi and Noem in real life, it's hard to portray them as more despicable than actually are.

ICE Thugs unlawfully detain a reporter, because they sure as hell don't want their lawlessness recorded and blasted all over the internet. Grown men tackling an unarmed woman. Wait there's MOAR ! They claimed she threw objects at ICE abduction vehicles.

Just in case anyone is reading this still. It's 825 pm in Portland and raining. We haven't heard helicopters tonight and felt that the rain would keep the protests at the ICE building to a minimum. But we just heard sirens in that direction and there was a commercial fire called in to Pulsepoint at S Moody and Lowell about one block from the ICE building. Fire in this rain is not normal so someone started it and I doubt it was the protestors.

Thanks all. A follow up. It's almost 5am now and all is quiet. A half hour after we heard the sirens we heard a very loud explosion, absolutely massive. We went out on the porch to see if there was any smoke cloud but there was nothing in our line of sight. The sound was like the explosions we would hear almost nightly during the BLM protests downtown, only louder. No sirens afterwards, so kind of a mystery. It might show up on local news later today but Sunday is a poor day for local news coverage. If we find out anything we'll let you all know.

Any update?

Yes. Nothing on the explosion but we've been hearing the helicopter circling over our part of town which includes the ICE establishment. Usually we hear them at dusk to late night. What they're doing orbiting at midday in the midst of occasional torrential downpours is anybody's guess

Maybe some MAGA notable getting a tour? This is definitely not protest weather except for our frog battalion.

Somebody caught a bunch of nazis posing as "antifa" a few nights ago. Wouldn't be surprised if they'd do something...

Exactly what we're thinking. If we refuse to give them an excuse, they'll manufacture one.

Be careful this upcoming Saturday. Trump's loonies will probably do their best to incite a riot somewhere.

ICE has a list, a Millers Portland OR gift list:

1) Antifa, organized. (not going well, see: dancing frog.)

2) Federal properties. infrastructure in peril.

3) Use of weapon considered "mass."

The ambient level of weird in Portland is deeply confusing to the nazi endocrine system.
