Well, I live in Portland, we are under federal occupation every night.

Last night, City Commissioner (Council member) JoAnn Hardesty led a peaceful protest throughout downtown that was broken up by armed "federal" troops -- unmarked uniforms, etc, just like you've heard about on Chris Hayes' show, the Atlantic, and The Nation, as well as The Washington Post.

In response to Governor Kate Brown's request that the federal troops, who don't coordinate with the local cops and operate with unconstitutional impunity, leave Portland and leave Oregon, the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf says, "We've got a mission, we're staying until that mission is complete."

Scary times here: pay attention, it'll be in your city next. Really.
