New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets. These are their stories:

This is horribly sad

It’s become abundantly clear to me over the last 10 years that like 0.2% of people understand how water works

I’m also about halfway through Talia Lavin’s newer book - Wild Faith - which is also a good book to read if you’re interested in RW Christian nationalism.

I’ve been reading Tim Alberta’s book “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory” and I’m going to say you should too.
