So let's protest -- but joyfully and peacefully. Do not get drawn into Trump's cycle of violence. It’s his goal to cite violence to justify more authoritarian power. Let's not let him achieve it.
Let’s show that Portland is a strong community where neighbors take care of each other.

This court ruling is a victory for rule of law.
There is no "rebellion" or "invasion" in PDX to justify federalizing Oregon's National Guard.
The president is not a king and Trump is shredding our Constitution.
Democrats put forth two straightforward proposals: reverse attacks on health care and require the President to FOLLOW THE LAW and implement funding bills as written.
Republicans chose to shut down the government.
Trump and Republicans are making people sicker and poorer. They shut down the government and will grind the economy to a halt because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis THEY created.
15 million people kicked off their health care.
Health insurance costs for families will massively increase.
Republicans shut down the government to make YOUR health care more expensive.
Republicans forced through the Big, Ugly BETRAYAL bill, and now Oregonians buying health insurance on the exchange could see the price of their policy go up by more than $1,300 per person!!!
Republicans are making YOUR health care more expensive.

A new KFF study reports: 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums under the Affordable Care Act DOUBLE.
Further, 15 million people will be thrown off their health care entirely.
Unacceptable. We can’t subject millions of Americans to this unnecessary suffering.
Here’s the Republican vision: Families lose, billionaires win. That’s why they slashed YOUR health care to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
Democrats are fighting for a better vision: Families win, and billionaires pay their fair share.
Republicans cut health care to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Republicans cut child nutritional benefits to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Republicans exploded the debt by $30 TRILLION to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
Republicans know that undocumented people can’t enroll in Medicaid coverage. That's the law.
They’re LYING to you to distract you as they kick 15 million people off their health care and raise the cost of YOUR health insurance.
Republicans are making us sicker and poorer.
Republicans are making YOUR health care more expensive.
What a surprise: Russ Vought is breaking the law, and for what? To bend the knee to Trump and his billionaire buddies.
Ripping funding away from only blue states will raise utility bills for EVERYONE. It’s not rocket science.
Vought is unfit to serve in this or any administration.

Take it from Mr. Art of the Deal, if there’s a shutdown, the president is to blame.
Republicans refused to fix the health care crisis THEY CREATED.
Now, they have shut down the government and ground the economy to a halt.
Trump and Republicans own this shutdown.
Trump and Republicans are making people sicker and poorer.
We are in an extraordinarily dangerous moment. Trump summoned generals and told them that he plans to send the military into cities as a "training ground" to "eliminate the enemy from within."
There's no invasion. There's just a President breaking the law to tighten his authoritarian grip. HELL NO.
Trump and his propaganda machine are working overtime to paint a picture of Portland that just isn’t true.
Don’t take the bait—he’s trying to stoke violence to justify tightening his authoritarian grip.
Our community is strong and we’ll keep each other safe.
Disgusting and dangerous escalation from Trump. Our cities aren’t “training grounds” and the American people aren’t the enemy.
Trump’s attempts to weaponize America’s armed forces against American citizens are unpatriotic and illegal.
Republicans are shutting down the government because they refuse to fix the health care crisis THEY CREATED.
Democrats are fighting for YOU.
Republicans are shutting down the government rather than fixing the health care crisis THEY CREATED.
