they abolished the department of education, we do not need a trojan horse to abolish ice we can just do it

Well, my mother was getting rid of old cookie cutters sooooo…. Now I have more cookie cutters >_>

Why is it my job as a regular person to take “please stop giving money to the armed thugs breaking into people’s homes and murdering moms in mom-vehicles” and feed it to our LITERAL LEADERS like “OH here comes the AEROPLANE open up, nyooomm!”

JUST IN: Judge Mehta rules that Trump/Russ Vought's termination of environmental grants during the shutdown — targeted solely at states that voted for Kamala Harris — violated the 5th Amendment's Equal Protection clause and orders them restored. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Yes, you may feel powerless in this moment. But did you know that communities of mosses, algae and microorganisms are helping to hold up the Great Wall of China? elizabethgpreston.substack.com/p/how-to-hol... 🧪

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

I want to emphasize for people again: there's a bunch of AI stuff going around of people confronting ICE agents. It's fake. It's slop. Verify before reposting.

Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

Holy Jesus I didn't look close enough, saw the green logo quickly and thought this was The Onion and started chuckling man what have we done lol

This is such weird framing - it’s been an incredible year for all kinds of mushrooms, not just deathcaps. As always with wild mushrooms, DON’T EAT IT IF YOU AREN’T 100% ON THE ID. And also maybe don’t forage for the ones with deadly lookalikes!

an institution where random goons feel empowered to murder people and threaten pastors in the street is not a redeemable institution and nobody should be funding it or pretending it is reformable

Multnomah Country, Oregon, has posted warnings to residents that ICE agents are impersonating utility workers. You read that right. ICE is now impersonating utility workers in order to gain access to people's homes and businesses without a warrant. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.

if you want to throw a few bucks to an organization that is doing really great work against ICE here in Portland, this is a Willett family rec pircoregon.org

Protests mounting against ICE in various parts of D.C. tonight. In the middle of the U Street corridor, occupying the intersection with 14th Street: “Remember Renee Good,” one of the many signs here reads.

I called the local offices of my rep and both senators and did the whole impeach Noem and Trump thing. The very softspoken woman at Schiff’s local office said they were receiving hundreds of calls a minute right now, so that is hopeful I guess?

Christ alive.

Then what is the point of electing them?

A little good news today. For the first time since December 2000, the entire state of California is no longer either entering or recovering from a drought! That's 25 years of drought conditions. www.drought.gov/states/calif...

I’ve been having heartburn recently so I bought some “rice ramen” to test out as a lower fat quick lunch. I didn’t have high hopes, but it’s somehow even worse than expected 🤣 the supposedly red miso broth is somehow both bland and spicy, and needs more salt.

There are no short cuts. I'm sorry. There is only long term, consistent, and disciplined organizing.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Thousands of protesters and community members with candles gathered in Minneapolis at the site where 37 y/o Renee Nicole Good was killed by ICE. Thousands are chanting “F ICE,” calling for justice and accountability as protests continue to grow.

The news is horrible but the sky is beautiful.
