I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

tell that to my broken uterus

ICE detained a U.S. citizen for 7 hours in Portland after she photographed ICE agents. As of Tuesday morning, ICE still had her phone and her engagement ring, she said. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

I’ll be speaking at no kings but…

Portland Folks: if you're in town Saturday and want something to go to aside from the No Kings protest, or after, the Portland Defense Fund is holding a street fair on Clinton St in SE.

Shirts and stickers with this design that I whipped up will be for sale at the street fair. Please consider purchasing to support protest arrestees in need!

It would be pretty cool to send some of all that cash you raised the last few hours to help regular folks who get arrested at ICE in Portland deal with their legal costs too. donorbox.org/defense-fund...

Lmao these people really drove an hour just to get roasted by kids

Immergut states for the record that she is basing new TRO on all of the reasons that were in my prior opinion granting first motion and the same reasons and apply...The deployment of the federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, she says.

Immergut: You're an officer of the court. Do you believe this is appropriate way to deal with my order? Hamilton: I'm not a policy maker Immergut: You're a lawyer In response, Hamilton basically argues no geographic limit to federalization of CA guard...

Motion granted. Guard blocked from activation in Portland. Story to come @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

STOP PUTTING MILK IN PEOPLE'S EYES

if you’re a visual learner i made you some maps of where the people quoted in this article as supporting portland being occupied by troops live

"prove me wrong" is now synonymous for "shoot me" atp anyway can this loser go back to battleground or whatever

Here’s our detailed live text thread from observing today’s proceedings in the #StopCopCity RICO case motions hearing in Judge Kevin Farmer’s courtroom: bsky.app/profile/unic...

Want a primer into how public libraries are being targeted right now? Josephine County Library–in the "nice" "blue" state of Oregon–has been subject to the right's war on public institutions for over 2 years, including their main library being evicted from its space.

Heads up, Chicagoland— ICE is OTG again, someone just spotted the Chicago ICE SRT guys (not National Guard, impt reminder) alongside other federal agents arresting someone in Cicero. There's also a report of one arrest in Little Village.

The judge in the #StopCopCity case says that he is likely to toss out the RICO charges on the grounds that they were improperly filed. That will not be the end of the ordeal, but it is an important step. Keep up the fight! Background on the movement: crimethinc.com/CopCity2025

Day two of the Cop City RICO motions hearings ended early after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kevin Farmer heard a motion to quash Counts One and Three of the RICO indictment. Farmer expressed that he is likely going to issue an order to dismiss those counts.

A new return-to-office order has left multiple PSU staff with a serious financial burden while others have simply left. “The economic vibrancy of downtown is being privileged over the health and wellbeing of your staff,” one PSU staff member said. Read more @portlandmercury.com

After years of activist pressure, lawsuits, and bad press Ring made much needed reforms. Now, they’re pivoting back to mass police surveillance as a business model. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

If you turn down the volume, RFK Jr looks like a guy testifying about why the tanning bed industry needs a bailout.

Must read from @crimethinc.com on growing rebellion in #Indonesia.

In light of current events, this felt appropriate to bring back to social media!

Salem Police Department Detectives Mike Quakenbush and Craig Stoelk arrested Johnson in 1998 for the murder of Harriet Lavern Thompson. He would spend the next quarter century, including 17 years on death row, locked up in Oregon.

Over 450 workers detained at electric vehicle factory in Savannah, GA, largest raid under Trump. "Since construction began, three workers...have been killed on the job. Activists say that the raid is only likely to prevent immigrant workers from speaking out..." paydayreport.com/450-napped-b...

“Federal law enforcement asked the crews to line up to check their IDs, according to the firefighters. One of the firefighters said members of the crew were told not to take video of the incident.” DHS did this as flames actively raged. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

3/ According to time codes on the bodycams by officers, nearly two hours passed between shooting Flores and approaching him with medical personnel. In between that time, LAPD officers continued to yell verbal commands, sent a drone to take pictures and called SWAT.

I was planning to remake this with new information, but almost all of these routes are now dangerous dead ends

This photo is said to have been taken near Breese, Illinois. Do with this what you will.

"Details from the testimonies incl a mother who said she couldn’t readily access formula for her baby or potable water with which to mix it...a 3yo boy who was throwing himself on the ground due to lack of sleep & anxiety; and a 6yo with leukemia who had no access to his regular cancer treatment."

ICE used your taxpayer dollars to trick out a bunch of trucks in new livery, all painted black with "ICE" and a logo printed in gold on the side (and Trump's name in gold on the back window), then shoot a rap video in DC to post on social media. I am not making this up.

BREAKING: The Cop City domestic terrorism charge against Jamie Marsicano has been dropped. DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Gregory A. Adams issued an order Thursday, stating that the 29-month delay in moving the charge forward violated Mariscano's speedy trial and due process rights.

He already did this in L.A. What are we doing? Let's please acknowledge where the country already is.

If a prosecutor cannot prove someone guilty beyond a reasonable doubt we can talk about a lot of factors that go into that, esp in sexual assault cases, but "the problem here is public defenders doing their jobs" is not the fuck it.

If you ever find yourself drifting towards the idea that public defenders, legal aid lawyers, and pro bono/sliding scale/movement lawyers are bad people for representing rapists or murderers or con artists or whatever, just keep in mind that is true only if you conclude the government never lies.

My mobility scooter shat the bed and I’m leaving in a few days to drive cross country so I need a replacement scooter ASAP. If you have been considering buying merch or downloading my albums, today would be a great day to do so! Thanks! kimyadawson1.bandcamp.com/merch

In February 2024 I published a survivor statement against my ex, Huitzil, after enduring years of severe abuse extending well after the breakup. This was a difficult choice, in part because I feared my callout would endanger her then-girlfriend, Piper.

This seems like about a dozen different built-in environmental disasters.

An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel as they sought to bring the world firsthand reporting from #Gaza. Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF. #NotATarget Full statement: cpj.org/2025/08/isra...

Piper is a demonstrable serial liar and manipulator who has lost pretty much every single friend or connection she had in Portland in a very few years over this pattern of behavior and I regret that I was so credulous towards her and failed to provide support soon enough for her latest survivor.

An Alabama teen was shot alongside his friend, then prosecuted for his killing. Felony murder laws allow prosecutors to charge defendants with the death of an accomplice, even when the killing was committed by someone else.
