The state of the state right now...

...is such that I am having borderline panic attacks.

Now was maybe a bad time to start using twitter again? Think I might have to mute #Portland or something. >.<

If you haven't heard, and you might not have, because I haven't seen it on the national news yet, Federal soldiers, potentially mercenaries as well as Homeland Security officers, (same unbadged military as in Lafayette Square) have invaded Portland despite the mayor and governor both saying they do not want them there. They have cited graffiti (I kid you not!) as the evidence that Portland is in such chaos they need to be there, and are grabbing random people off the street and hauling them off, at least some to be blindfolded, driven around for hours, interrogated aggressively, and then just dumped back on the street. In my book it amounts to an undeclared civil war. A state is being attacked by the federal government. The fuck else you call that? I live just south of this cluster fuck. I don't necessarily expect it here, but this is seriously fucking with me. So yeah, not in a great mental space just now.
