Federal officers use crowd control munitions as demonstrators protest outside Portland ICE building

Thousands of protesters turned out for a mostly peaceful demonstration Saturday in Portland to speak out against increased immigration enforcement. By the end of the day, scores of nonviolent protesters were hit with chemical munitions fired by federal officers responding to a smaller crowd directly outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

Also as an aside, #Oregon should be proud of #OPB and Southern Oregon PBS, because of the previous post in this thread. Just wish I could get Oregon Field Guide on any of the 7 public television channels from 2 stations I get here. We do get Rick Steves' Europe and All Across Oregon though.

Finally got an okay-enough antenna for my HDTV tuner box. Now I'm looking for things to tune into.

I've been out of the over-the-air TV game for a while. I mean, there's #OPB of course, but I can tune into so many mystery (to me) channels.

When I was a kid in the 80s/90's there was some weird/local stuff on broadcast TV, like, one step above cable-access production value (sometimes not even).

Does anyone know of any programs of local/weird stuff that I should check out?

People are losing jobs due to social media posts about Charlie Kirk

Some GOP officials want to clamp down on perceived expressions of schadenfreude about Charlie Kirks death. Conservative activists are publicizing social media posts that are «celebrating» his death.
