Dear Portland, I am so proud of you. Thank you for your peaceful, playful response to the brutal presence of ICE (U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement) here. Thank you for wearing those cheerful costumes, for the bubble-blowing, dancing, music-playing, Auntie Tifa knit-ins and the emergency naked bike ride, (“U.S. House Speaker calls Portland naked bike ride ‘most threatening thing I’ve seen yet,” Oct. 14). These fun-loving tactics combine to create an organic, sophisticated strategy to save our democracy and counter authoritarianism.
