Thank you for coming! We are getting calls from my father back east saying that we should evacuate because of the riots. We are like, Dad nothing is going on here!! It’s propaganda!

The media that ask the tough questions, tells the truth and stands up for ‘freedom of the press’ no longer exist, they have become lost sheep listening to the wrong Shephard. 😣

The corporate media, the press, genuinely fear false lawsuits. However false, the money to fight them is a severe, shameful punishment. We-the-people need a HUGE group fighting tRump together, Dems & Republicans who stop fearing tRump, willing to stand together to speak the TRUTH. And to show Americans they're AGAINST the Harm he's inflicting on all of us & our country's standing in the World.

A city that loves a place like Powell’s can’t possibly be a “hellscape”. The first time I visited (probably before some of you were even born), I got on a FREE downtown bus, and went to the world of books. I had never even heard of it before. I almost needed help to get my jaw off the floor. That’s MY Portland. The most civilized city in America. Where every day, you discover some new evidence of people caring for each other. When the smoke clears, go to Powell’s Books and think of me.

Everytime a black suv drove near you or behind you, my heart skipped a beat. And I get it, nothing dangerous there … except masked asshats with no ethics. Thanks for showing us the sights. If I ever come back to the US, I am checking out all the food trucks in Portland and Powells Book store.

Thank you to the lovely woman in Portland telling the truth that there's NO insurrection in Portland. tRump is mischaracterizing (LYING) that there's violence & insurrection in our cities as the president WANTS violence so he can show how POWERFUL He is, by sending in UNNEEDED Troops to QUELL NON-Existent violence tRump is working to instigate. tRump is WASTING our tax dollars And our Military for his own sick EGOtistic wants. Shameful when there's real work that could & should be done. He prefers waste fraud & abuse.

Dana is as good as it gets. She’s genuine, kind, generous, and funny. And truthful — if she says Portlanders don’t know where the riot is, you can be sure it doesn’t exist.
