The Sorensen Monologues

War of the Worlds 2025

The other day, Trump said of Portland: “Every time I look at that place it’s burning down, there are fires all over the place” and “when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood, they don’t put up storefronts anymore, they just put wood up.” I feel silly for even typing this, but that is not happening in reality. In the real world, a smattering of people are dressing up in animal costumes to protest outside the ICE facility. Portlanders are also expressing themselves through naked (or semi-clothed) bike rides. These are excellent ways of demonstrating in my opinion.
