I've heard it said that it's a marathon, not a sprint, but it's more like a relay-marathon. We step in as we can and pass the baton to recharge. For anyone else who needs the reminder: we need to take care of ourselves to be able to take care of others.

If anyone has signed up for stopice dot net, take damage control measures immediately. Deleteme.com if you can afford it.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

I'm sorry. It's hard not to feel like we just fucking suck as a species.

Fuck.

St. Johns neighbors and county leaders organize against ICE after father seized Dec. 11 northpeninsulareview.com/st-johns-nei... #PDX #Portland #ICE

They're targeting delivery and rideshare drivers, too: theintercept.com/2025/08/26/t...

Bumper sticker PSA 😋:

Here's a fun holiday activity we all can enjoy: report ice misconduct to the new House Committee on Oversight & Reform. Follow the link to the tipline & blow the whistle on ice. #pdx #abolishice #Epstein #DC #resistancerangers #communityresistance @altnps.bsky.social #removetheregime

I guess I need the rest, but sometimes things get to me more than I want to admit. I feel like I take longer than most to recharge/fly right again. I do get there eventually, but often not without frustration with myself for not bouncing back faster. Self-care is important, peeps.

Little birds in PDX are saying that the fasc are out in force tonight at ICE. Show up if you can risk it but (IMO) *do not engage. *

Been feeling very 'meh' lately. I'm sure some of it's from the migraine. They drain energy *and* motivation.

Rather fucked up that it would take a military occupation for MSM to pay real attention to fascist abuses, but here we are.

Friendly self-care reminder: get your flu and COVID boosters if you can. For comrades in the PDX area, LECARE Pharmacy does walk-in vaccinations. They have Novavax. (If you get both on the same day, make sure you can take some time for yourself while your body responds.) www.lecarepharmacy.com

This is what was happening before the feds unleashed all that violence, btw

Geo Group is abusing prisoners in Portland, Oregon ICE.

If you see immigration arrests: film it, then call the PIRC hotline at 1-888-622-1510. It's your legal right to film in public in Oregon, but don’t interfere. Your footage can expose violations and serve as evidence. Learn more: www.oregonforall.us/film

The fash protesting at ICE ought to be viewed as useful idiots not an enemy. Their presence is a problem for police and a security distraction. We are smarter than them. Out smart them. Intelligence is a better weapon than middle school threats and behavior.

Cashapp: $juliejunglequeen For a trans Portlander in need:

Got my flu and COVID-19 boosters today. As annoying as it can be to have to stay in tonight*, I need to take care of myself to be able to do anyone else any good.

Fuck these assholes. Not that I didn't already feel that way, but:

If someone FOIA the #2 ICE holding cells cameras when Indigenous were held they would see disgusting abuse from federal officers. Including abuse of a minor and clothes getting gut off a Grandmother, then a very violent strip search. Portland, Oregon liberals do not seem to care what happens in ICE.

resist.bot I don't know how much it does, but IMO, it's too easy to *not* do, so why not?

If we're designating certain groups as terrorists, a few others come to mind...

Please support this family. They are key in Black and Indigenous Resistance in PDX. We have no non-profit. It is just us. Please help out the best you can.

Immigration advocates say if you see ICE targeting someone, knowing what to do in the moment is critical to protecting immigrants. It’s hard to know what to look for, but this guide can help you better understand how to be an effective bystander in Oregon, and your legal right to do so.

Indigenous Land Defenders started a prayer 🔥 in January 2025 to pray for our Indigenous families at risk to ICE. Indigenous PDX activists have been erased from the narrative once again. ManRed is a member of the Navajo Nation. He filmed me surrounded by PPB for praying. youtu.be/-8Y8wSpJ6Vc?...

Cualli tonalli from Chinook Ilahee. This is the boundary the USA 🇺🇸 government set. The boundary for my arrest is I-5. I crossed the road last week and got locked up for 7 days. Apartied Music Festival PDX ICE Reservation of the banished. Training Checkpoint Tillicum. Searching for kidnappers.

Trying not to feel guilty for staying close to home today. It was a weird week. Maybe just one more day.

I'm out of federal custody for the big crime of being near the ICE building. Couple broken bones and stitches. I received good medical care. I dont feel bad, I feel blessed. The women I was in custody with were from Mexico y Honduras. I got to go home and see my kids.

Fuck acephalgic (or "silent") migraines. It's like being gaslit by your own brain.

Fuck the federal court's orders! Why the fuck would I ever obey a federal court when MAGA doesn't? No colonizer can ban me from walking within 5 blocks of ICE. Bitch I will stay in jail and die rather than obey.

I got a bit burned out on calling my reps b/c it felt so pointless. Back on it today. Bug the shit out of your reps until they get off their asses. You can be civil without being nice. Resist the Escalation of ICE Raids and Detentions (UPDATED 8/20) — you should too: 5calls.org/issue/ice-ra...

In Portland, Trump’s secret police lobbed so many toxic chemicals at demonstrators, a nearby school was forced to leave and decamp to another neighborhood. “There were chemicals being used on a regular basis and munitions being found on our playground,” the school's executive director said.

If you can, at least go and bear witness. Listen to people. You learn a lot OTG.

People have been kicked out or forced to leave ICE out of Portland protests for speaking up about abuse. Those of you who know about it and aren't doing anything need to do something. The main Instagram account doesn't care. I am sorry to say.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the fall of Tenotchtitlan August 13, 1521, after a 75-day seige. Tenotchtitlan became Mexico City. Yesterday, I was shot in the feet and head for standing on an open public city sidewalk in the neighborhood I live in. There is no 1st Amendment in Portland, Oregon.

Not expecting to be out much the next few days; the August heat is already kicking me in the head. 😑
