Tens of thousands protest Bush on both coasts. For the most part, Portland is silent. Sometimes Stumptown leads an odd split personality in it's activism. It is well known as a progressive haven, but it responds at odd intervals.....often preferring to wait until someone else has stepped up.

I expect organized action in congress with the next major protest. The gravity of the circumstance is reaching critical mass. Prior to the war, Portland had actions almost every weekend.....it will start being like that soon enough.

Over 8,500 people showed for Michael Moore on Thursday. At one point, when Moore called for Bush and his cronies to be jailed, the entire crowd stood and applauded for over a minute.

The pot is boiling.
