6. Fuck Trump and his runty little stunt

This is the U.S. of fucking A. -- not the demented toddler's plastic toy that he will get bored with in two hours.

17. I misread your post as "stunty little runt"

and it made me think of Bill Barr.

Thanks!

[Blue Owl]

21. All good!

Stunty little runt pulls runty little stunt...

8. beautiful city and beautiful people--I wasone of the 70,000 in Portland who greeted Obama in 2008

this city believes in living life to the fullest and in freedom of expression--but will also fiercely fight against tyranny.

12. Portland Proud!

[Amaryllis]

24. Yep. They may have just picked the wrong city to use as an example.

[gratuitous]

25. That's what the proud boys found out about Portland

They thought they were picking on a bunch of soft, crunchy-granola hippie types who would just melt away in the presence of the awesome manliness of the proud boys. Incorrect strategy.

[calimary]

28. Well, a lot of us crunchy-granola hippie types have been at this for YEARS, unlike

the proud boys. We get this. We've confronted bigger than they'll EVER be. And we ARE bigger than these pipsqueaks will ever be.

I've been a protester since I was in fourth grade. I'm old enough to be their grandma, most of 'em.

[calimary]

26. Hey, my friend! How'ya doin'?

[Amaryllis]

27. Okay, all things considered. HAving to take mental health breaks from the news!

But all this new stuff in Portland is not something one can easily ignore.

[calimary]

29. I get that!

Wish I could but I've been such a raging news junkie for so long it's a tough habit to break.

The Indivisible work we do on our Research & Writing team kinda keeps me tethered to it.

I always kinda feel like, if our side were an army marching through some territory, my position would be toward the tail end of the marchers. On alert as the group moves forward to head off attackers seeking to get us from the sides and behind, or catch up to us and chase us down.

13. KR Rt Portland!

[Mersky]

14. That was beautiful

Really got to me when they started melodically chanting

[equite]

15. trump has to just go.

I don't think I could stand even another day if that man in office. What violence? God help us
. Our country is severe jeopardy. Go Portland stand together last. Texas hearts are with you.

[calimary]

30. Welcome to DU, equite.

Thank you! Oregon hearts are with you guys in Texas. It must be miserable to have a trump suck-ass for governor. And that miserable lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, is a REAL horror show. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy!

[DSandra]

16. Great! Trump's goons try to scare, instead the opposite happens!

And fuck all the freedom hating RW authoritarians that think that such intimidation tactics are acceptable.

[brer cat]

18. Hats off to Portland!

19. K&R, ... and the drums in the background ... would love to be there

[sanatanadharma]

20. The Willamette Valley knows drums

Those old'n young hippie peace-nik antifa Momdhis and all the pops and kiddhis have been rocking to drum circles Saturdays, any old day, for years.

Not to say drums don't sound everywhere. I can see success in a well-organized, everyone drum, drum where you are, drum with friends, drum in the square, drum around the Whitehouse, drum in the face of fascist frenzy, drumming mass movement.

Dance with the drums Athenas and Athenos, dance to the rhythm.
The cops are uptight, simply don't be them.
Let it all hang out throw-off your clothes.
Let it all hang out save for your nose.

22. Magnififuckingcent

Fabulous, beautiful.
Make fools of the gestapo!

23. The gestapo was sent in to start riots, not stop them

Fortunately the crows of civilized Americans aren’t falling for it. But drumpf is trying to create a Reichstag fire with these invasions.
