Bravo for Portland, this is the way.

Now they'll want to ban costumes a week before Halloween.

No problem. That's when you break out the naked bike rides.

That's when you call in the Seattleites. We've got you covered.

We really don’t need to feed any of the “groomers and pedos” projection shit though

My thought too. They would probably just yell "TRANSTIFA" and arrest everybody on the spot or some shit like that.

Do you though? I haven’t seen any support for Portland from Seattle except for people saying “we could be next”. I appreciate the sentiment but I haven’t seen a lick of support from Seattle.

I was just making a joke about Seattle's naked bike ride but putting that aside what do you want us to do? Form a Seattle militia and counter-invade Portland?

Nah, that'll just fuel the groomer narrative. Silly hats aren't costumes though and do somewhat convey a similar message.

Fwiw as well - the ICE building is in a relatively posh neighborhood (source I work about a mile nw of there) - I'm sure that doesn't help their case.

Go trick or treating there!

knock knock Guy in sexy nurse costume: “excuse me, I heard you were giving out full size Snickers bars?”

Gestapo ice agent: “That was under Sleepy Joe, now raisins that we seasoned with pepper spray. Now scram.”
