- BREAKING: The Oregon Department of Justice plans to sue several federal agencies for civil rights abuses, and state prosecutors will potentially pursue criminal charges against a federal officer who seriously injured a protester.
- People opposing a vigil for someone killed by police. Let that sink in.At least 30-40 person turnout in Hazel Dell to counter tonight’s vigil.
00:00 - What happened in Portland in 2020 was so clearly an offensive political use of federal officers to prop up a sagging reelection campaign. It's too bad that so many have been swayed by the propaganda around it.
- ICE announces it has shut down its operations temporarily at its facility in SW Portland due to #OccupyICEPDX protest.
- More video of Portland police letting Tustitala "Tiny" Toese, wanted on a warrant, stroll past them while an officer grabs journalist @PDXzane by the arm to stop him from doing his job.Tiny & a small group of men wearing Proud Boys shirts walks by PPB to get in a waiting pickup truck. #koin6news #PDX #BLM #BackTheBlue #PNW #Portland #Oregon
00:00 - Replying to @ryanjhaasI have to stress how unusual this is. Just yesterday, CBP officials were on FOX News saying that DOJ and DHS were going to work together to crackdown on Portland protests, with an announcement from Trump next week.

- I feel like Portlanders should send a writer to New York to produce a thinkpiece about their mayoral race and the takeaway is that their city is burning.
- Portland State University pauses connections to Boeing due to companies ties to Israel
- BREAKING: Oregon Gov. Kate Brown will declare a state of emergency for this weekend's Proud Boys rally. This allows Oregon State Police to run the police response instead of Portland police.
- As someone who has covered a fair share of extremism in the NW since 2015, I'll say that what's been happening this summer is definitively NOT GOOD. Abdication of responsibility from local/state/federal leaders and LE is making for dangerous conditions that rival 2020.
- Around 10% of Washington state police are no longer in the job as a result of the vaccine mandate there.#BREAKING @wastatepatrol announces departure of 127 personnel as result of #COVID19 vaccine mandate, including 67 troopers, 6 sergeants and 1 captain. Force is about 1100. #waleg #wagov
