Hi, this is your friend Tara Dublin, who lives in the real city of Portland, Oregon, for real.
Portland is not on fire.
We are not “war-ravaged.”
We are not on the brink of collapse.
We have not “fallen.”
We do not need troops on the ground here any more than the city where you live does, because THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
When it was first announced that Trump was sending troops here, Portlanders were confused as to why. Daily life is happening like it does everywhere. People are going to work, taking their kids to school, grabbing coffee, riding bikes and scooters, and walking their dogs.
Trump is attacking us when he should be taking credit for our record-breaking decline in violent crime, which is down a whopping 51% since January. Weird!
January, you may recall, is when Trump began illegitimately reoccupying our White House. So it’s weird that he’s not taking credit for the kind of crime statistics that any other politician would be bragging about.
Crime isn’t just declining here, but across the country. Trump loves to take credit for things he didn’t do. So why is he on the brink of invading the Rose City?
Because he’s in the Epstein Files.
And my Senator, Ron Wyden—the ranking Democratic member of the Senate Finance Committee—is following the money between Russian banks and Jeffrey Epstein, as he’s shared with Devlin and me on both of his appearances on The Tara Show.
And thankfully, so is Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee.
Weird how they’re fine with the pedo part but stumble over the Russian money part. If Trump has to go down Capone-style, I say make it happen, Jamie.
My entire Twitter feed for the last week has been about relentlessly defending Portland. So is my personal Substack, and if you could find it in your heart/bank balance to squeeze out a few bucks for a paid subscription, now is the perfect time because the independent media needs to be the loudest thing in the country right now.
All eyes should be on Portland right now. Portland WILL NOT fall to fascism, and we need all of you to stand with us right now.
I’ve requested that this post be free for all to read and share. Sadly, my Twitter feed is hella suppressed, as the kids say. Unless I’m tweeting about Tylenol, then I get over 11 million engagements.
I’ve also been blocked by Trump on Twitter since 2015, so it’s hard to get a message to someone who doesn’t want to hear from you. So I tried this instead, if you’d like to drop it in under any of his fucking fascist posts about Portland WHEN HE’S NEVER EVEN BEEN HERE.
I’m asking you to go to this post on Twitter and share it with Republicans, the media, and MAGA people in your life. I am living the truth, which is that Portland is doing just fine.
We were all fine until Trump came back to haunt us. Trump is doing all of this to keep the Epstein Files from being released. Republicans are helping him. We’re not letting our American experiment end because of a dead pedophile.
I marched with my Governor and my Mayor last Sunday in a peaceful protest that the MSM overlooked because nothing is interesting or money-generating about the truth. The local 50501/No Kings put this together in less than 24 hours, hence the “spontaneous” line from the person who posted the reel on Insta. I added the bottom line because it was indeed yours truly coming correct on the megaphone.
I led chants for the full mile we marched, which is hard on the body and the lungs of a GenX sloth who sits on her butt for a living (time to avail myself of the nice little gym in my secure building in downtown Portland on the rainy days ahead). But we chanted “SHOW TRUMP WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE” and “SHOW TRUMP WHAT PORTLAND LOOKS LIKE” because again, he’s never been here.
While Trump shares manufactured footage funneled to Fox News from outside agitators, I’ve been trying to get the MSM to share the truth about Portland. There are a handful of outside agitators sent here to specifically stir shit up for false flag footage, and it’s FUCKED UP that the MSM is ignoring the rest of my city to focus on one city block.
Nick Sortor lives in DC, not PDX. Why is he here stirring shit? It’s not like the MSM is asking that question. But I am.
Fox News has embedded someone on the roof of the ICE facility with a laser pointer to make the nighttime footage look more chaotic than it actually is. During the day, the ICE facility may draw a dozen protestors, who look like they’re waiting for the bus.
I walked around my neighborhood and shared photos, which weren’t good enough for MAGA. They have the very wrong misconception that I have the skills to manufacture anything close to what the natural beauty of Oregon delivers the second you walk outside.
We need the truth about Portland to be louder than all of the MAGA lies, which are ONLY on Twitter and no other social media sites that I use.
WEIRD, huh?
Please share the truth about Portland, because it’s the truth about where you live, too.
NO STATE IN THE UNITED STATES SHOULD BE A POLICE STATE.
We do not need military occupations in any American city.
STAND WITH PORTLAND before America falls to fascism.
There’s nothing else that’s more important than our democracy right now. Please do your part to save this country from Trump.
Also:
The way back to our real selves starts with the 25th Amendment, then impeachment for “47 1/2” JD “Vladimir Futon” Vance, which leads to the full removal of the current illegitimate regime. It’s going to take time, but no one ever said fighting fascism was going to be easy.

Thank you Tara, I believe you not, donnie! Portland looks peaceful and beautiful! Can you be my, our President? Thank you for your dedication to the improvement of humanity! 💙🤗
