"GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! 👋 It's Turkey Week, y'all! And for those who are traveling, get ready for a couple of days of scattered showers, a day of "dry," and predicted rainy-rain-rain on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. (With temps in the upper 40s & high 50s.) I was just imagining what it would be like if it rained gravy on Thanksgiving. I would fill up a pickup truck full of mashed potatoes and just lie there."
"* On Friday, the ACLU launched a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing King Fool and his minions of violating protesters First Amendment rights by ordering federal agents to violently attack and gas demonstrators outside the ICE facility in South Portland. Besides being gassed for little to no reason, multiple videos show (and Portland Police have testified) that agents have been using disproportionate force, including hitting and shoving, against protesters."
Portland Mercury requests small monthly contributions to sustain local newsreporting, arts and culture coverage, event calendars, and hosted events. The newsletter previews Turkey Week weather with scattered showers, a dry day, then heavy rain Thursday through Saturday and temperatures in the upper 40s to high 50s, plus a humorous gravy-on-Thanksgiving imagining. The ACLU filed a lawsuit alleging federal agents violently attacked and gassed protesters outside the ICE facility in South Portland and used disproportionate force. Local activists rallied against recent ICE kidnappings, featuring speakers including Atziri Cruz and noting a report that 71 percent of detainees had no criminal convictions.
