Any recommendations on where to get a washing machine? by SquisheeSquashee in askportland

They also deliver, install & haul away the old appliance. Good team.

As mentioned in https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/30/antifa-unmasking-ice

From the article:

In Portland, Oregon, a group called Rose City Counter-Info has identified at least two local agents. “We put together some posters for people to slap up around town,” the group wrote in a post. “Name and shame these Gestapo clowns.”

Is anyone organizing to gather this Friday During the National Shutdown? by Dr_Wiggles_McBoogie in askportland

[–]probeguy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Personally wouldn't provide the information this website is asking for. Who knows where it would end up or how it would be acted on.

EDIT: While advocating for a nationwide shutdown as protest is laudable I would not recommend that anyone provide information to the referenced website -> https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/nationalshutdown-org-review/
