Every morning I eat blueberries. From now on, I will be thinking of L and his family. Children who are afraid. For good reasons. Hey, what's going on America?

Yes, thank you federal workers for speaking up in support of the democrats holding the line for healthcare. Support federal workers and others by donating to food banks and energy assistance programs if you can.

After meeting with Portland TSA and air traffic controllers their message was clear: Hold the line on healthcare. Hold the line on defending our democracy.

Just went through TSA and said I was sorry they were having to work without getting paid on schedule. One said they will lose their health insurance if it keeps going much longer. Another said several have told him they are going to start looking for other work soon. Great job, GOP.

Help slow down ICE’s terror. Talk to local businesses about putting up signage to protect employees from ICE raids and show solidarity with immigrant communities: act.indivisible.org/signup/signs...

For Californians

@salinas.house.gov Would it be possible for a bipartisan group of representatives to prepare a piece of legislation every day during the shutdown for consideration when the House finally reconvenes? It would give us hope for a Congress that is for something. For us.

Hoy, el Tribunal de Apelaciones del Noveno Circuito, en su conjunto, acordó volver a examinar el caso de Oregon sobre si la Administración Trump puede enviar tropas a Oregon. Esto significa que las tropas permanecen suspendidas por ahora.

Keep thinking about Speaker Johnson referencing a legal summary to the contrary. Hope he isn't taking advice from non-lawyers like Stephen Miller. Hey, what's going on America? www.cbpp.org/press/statem... Trump Administration Is Legally Required to Provide SNAP in Shutdown, Contrary to Its Claims

We've learned from Chicago folks: If you see ICE lurking: Blow your whistle intermittently If ICE is kidnapping someone: Blow your whistle continuously If you hear a whistle: Get to safety if you need to OR Follow the whistle to form a crowd Stay nonviolent, don’t stay silent! #WAWhistles

Some more good news for Portland. The question now remains how many more taxpayer dollars will Donald Trump waste on his failing lawsuits to try and fulfill his authoritarian fantasies. I'll keep working to defend the rights and values of every single Oregonian.

U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken found the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lacked any grounds to restrict such grant funding.

Thanks to @democracydocket for its reporting on this.

The Washington Post has a subscriber wall on this article. But the headline is enough. No surprise, just disgust and horror. Hey, what's going on America?

This is a big deal. A correction by the federal government of facts it provided to the federal bench, admitting it overstated (exaggerated?) numbers and therefore overstated (exaggerated?) the impact and therefore eroding its authority to act.

Reup: DOJ neglected to tell Ashleigh Brown that the alleged victim in her case, an FPS officer, has a criminal record, including 2021 charges for harassment involving physical contact. [fixed screencap] storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Victor Cruz has a permit to work in the US and has been following the rules. He is a husband, father, grandfather, and pilar of his community. ICE took Victor not because he committed a crime but because he has the same name as someone else. 🧵

The decline isn’t subtle anymore.

How Seattle shut down the city in 1919 with a general strike and lessons that can be learned. You don’t even need everyone. Just enough people in key industries. Example: How impactful trash pickup strikes get in a just a few days. #generalstrike #getorganized youtu.be/zv5VcSwT1hI?...

Money for Grump’s golden ballroom, but no money for food assistance or kids with cancer. The cruel priorities of the very wealthy and powerful.

Not understanding on these facts why the unions are calling for an end to the shutdown without legislation on healthcare.

Remember the last time the working class organized in this country. #iww #anarchism archive.iww.org/history/docu...

So important to remember each individual and family.

Venice Bakery is remembering those that have died in ICE custody this year by adding them to their community altar for Dia de Los Muertos. By @eltragon.bsky.social

What's happening in my community (Aurora in the Western Chicago Suburbs - a heavily Latino area) is devastating. Here's what our local Rapid Response team posted on social media:

Good idea.

In the last 36 hrs, there were mass shootings at a party in North Carolina, a homecoming event at Lincoln Univ. in PA, and another homecoming event near Howard Univ. in D.C. There have been more mass shootings than days in the year. Sending love to families grieving the unspeakable right now.

Too many people are fine with their taxes being spent on foreign wars, genocide and ICE but not on feeding the hungry, housing the poor or helping the sick. They will scream about their “tax dollars” helping someone buy a $1 soda, but won’t demand accountability for billions wasted on destruction.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

A new Harvard study shows that 2025 protests are likely the most geographically widespread in US history.

"Here is a photo that about sums things up. This is my friend and colleague Pastor Jorge Bautista getting shot in the face by an ICE agent's flash bang grenade. Jorge's demeanor is calm and brave. Here's what's true: those who, like Jorge, are calling for Love and Peace and inclusion and the

On I-5 near Wilsonville Oregon, spotted a white SUV with police lights and decals that read "DHS Federal Police". Have lots of thoughts.
