My daughter & I ran a few errands downtown today. Yes, downtown Portland. I want you to see that we are not under siege. It’s a beautiful day. Folks riding bikes and walking about. Here we are at the Justice Center, ~3 miles from our home. The epicenter of the war zone 🤡🤡🤡 
This block and this fence have been seen all over the world. Do you see anything that requires federal emergency response here? 🙄
I had a Thai iced tea while waiting for my carry out order. Exactly ONE BLOCK away from the Justice Center. No riots here.
We enjoyed this guy busking at the (still closed) Apple Store. The boards have become murals. Breathtaking #BLM artwork.
.@CafeYumm open for take out. I NEEDED more Yumm sauce in a jar! about 3 blocks north of the Justice Center.
Max train running on time, about 3 blocks west of Jusrice Center
The Trump Admin is attempting to paint a (false) image of our city under siege. This is my home. Portland, Oregon. Overall, we are doing just fine here. But the nightly #BLM protests will continue until true reform is reached.
The renewed number of peaceful protestors will continue to be high until the feds leave. There is NO NEED for camouflaged federal agents in downtown Portland. They are agitators. They are not helping anyone here.
