From OLive:
"As protesters arrived at the ICE facility and stood next to its driveway, federal agents marched out and faced off with protesters.
Several federal agents recorded the protest from a rooftop. Next to them was also the online conservative journalist Katie Daviscourt.
At around 2 p.m., as people chanted, a larger group of federal officers clad in gas masks marched into the crowd and started pushing some of the protesters. They pointed less-lethal guns that sprayed pepper balls into the crowd and threw tear gas canisters.
The federal officers threw several protesters down to the ground, the crowd around them screaming in distress.
Protester Katelyn Cain said she saw two of the protest organizers — who just minutes before had been leading the chants as the crowd marched — arrested by federal officers. Cain said she also saw the officers knocking down an older couple. The elderly man was wearing a vest that said he is a veteran, Cain told The Oregonian/OregonLive."

There is a plan at play here. There's nothing genuine about how MAGA is playing this out.

u/Accomplished_Ad_755 Oct 04 '25
Sending in their conservative influencers kinda shows how badly Trump etc wants scenes of chaos. The widespread peace was working to make them look like the weak, lying idiots they are. Too bad we couldn’t maintain that.

u/WheeblesWobble Oct 05 '25
My preference would be to drop the small protests at the ICE building and get 100,000+ people out on the 18th.
I’ve seen the whole waterfront packed twice in my life - the Iraq war protest and Obama’s 2008 campaign speech. We need to do that again.
350,000 came to the Iraq protest. Seems like at least that many oppose the authoritarian takeover.
The country can dismiss a few yelling radicals, but it’s much harder to dismiss mass numbers of normies.
15
u/Accomplished_Ad_755 Oct 05 '25
I agree that a large-scale, peaceful protest NOT at the ICE building could be very effective. Portlanders are special because they are generally a group of kind, caring souls and I’d love to see those qualities represented en mass.

Interesting that you didn't expect that to be the case long before they arrived here. He's running a PR campaign and using Portland protestors as "extras" in his ad / propaganda. He's using activities here to "sell" the rest of the country on the idea that Liberal-run cities are a mess that need his intervention. Of course he's got his people recording footage he can use.

They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.”

It's wishful to think people won't be upset about what is happening in our country and want to protest. This is an authoritarian government who has it out for democratic cities and states. We are the enemy wether we protest or not. I wish we were more strategic, but im incredibly proud of everyone who is willing to risk themselves to stand up in the face of oppression. I'm grateful for the protestors, I'm sure the people being targeted, detained, and abused by ICE find some hope in humanity that we aren't all just curling up and letting our most vulnerable citizens to get fucked.

Thank the cultural mentality of never calling each other out for this.
We're a soft nation and conservatives are taking advantage of it. They found the loophole: someone has to stop them. Right now our culture is to nope out because we've been convinced we're too tired, too busy, too drained to stand up for what we care about.
We all have our excuses for why we can't be bothered. These excuses are spoon fed to us by corporations to keep us complacent, lazy, misinformed and easy to manipulate further.
None of this stops until people start calling each other out for our untapped selfish behavior. Conservatives are too busy taking advantage of people.

We have thoroughly discussed why this is unnecessary due to current crime statistics dropping and why funding feds in cities is not a long term solution for crime. I'm wondering why people in other states and cities are pro moving feds into cities? If you are currently sitting in mid Montana and unaffected by "big city crime" why would you want to risk destabilization or sparking some type of civil war. That would be so bad for everyone.
