Daucus carota (Wild Carrot)?

I think this is what is called  Queen Anne's Lace in America. If I have identified it correctly, it is also called Wild Carrot, Bird's nest, Bishop's lace. It is a lovely flower growing wild in the green space around the neighborhood.

Unfortunately, things are bad in Portland, Oregon right now. If COVID wasn't bad enough, Trump has sent in all kinds of unidentified troops under the auspices of "protecting Federal buildings and property". Instead, these troops are terrorizing, shooting at, and arresting peaceful protesters.

From the Washington Post: 
Trump’s agents are sweeping peaceful citizens off the streets. This is not America.

From Esquire Magazine: 
The Authoritarian Operation in Portland Is Only a Dress Rehearsal

From the New York Times: 
Federal Agents Unleash Militarized Crackdown on Portland

Who knows what the future holds for us? How much darker will it get before we see the dawn?
