This heartfelt and meaningful statement by Portland resident and author Cristina Breshears on another social media platform bears reposting here. I don't think the intent is to idealize Portland but to remind all of us what is important and why. (Posted here with permission.)

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

After last night, I feel like I should get a better press helmet (been using a bike helmet). I hate to be that guy, but if you can, please consider donating through my Venmo below. Even $10 makes a big difference. You can even look at my Warren Buffet meme in my profile pic.

Friends and comrades made a crowdfunding page for my family. It’s really hard to post this. I know that there are a lot of other important issues asking for money but things have gotten to the point where we need to open ourselves up to your support. Thank you for your consideration.

This Portland family is reeling from the violence of ICE detention. Maria, Andru, and their young daughters were able to start their lives in Oregon over a year ago, but with Andru arbitrarily detained last week their safety and stability is at risk. Please share & donate: tinyurl.com/SupportAndru

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

The lawsuit boils down to two things: the “great level of deference” owed to the Executive Branch when federalizing the National Guard, and the obvious truth that the Executive Branch is, at the moment, completely out of its gourd and posting through it. www.theverge.com/policy/79204...

Last Monday, Trump redirected the resources of DC’s local police department, deployed the National Guard to DC, and continued escalating federal law enforcement officers in the District of Columbia. Since then, Trump has steadily escalated this situation. freedcproject.org/allies

Texas Democrats are showing us what it really means to use every tool at your disposal. They’re risking political careers, enduring personal sacrifice and refusing to be complicit in Trump’s authoritarian playbook.

Good afternoon and welcome back to another council meeting! As always, you can follow along on this thread or tune in on the council website. Today council is considering two settlements related to lawsuits against the Portland Police Bureau and an amendment to move to weekly council meetings.

Yesterday, my office hosted a Know Your Rights workshop in Corona with @thenyic.bsky.social and local community partners. To learn more about your rights when interacting with ICE, visit our KYR web page or reach out to our office!

This legislation would block the Trump Administration from deploying federal law enforcement and armed forces to a city unless both the mayor and governor request aid. The legislation also requires clearly displayed identifying information, prevents the use of unmarked vehicles in arrests, and more.

With increasing numbers of federal officers around the U.S. ICE facility in Portland, Sen. Merkley and I introduced the Preventing Authoritarian Policing Tactics on America's Streets Act.

BREAKING: Judge Cobb has blocked the Trump administration's use of summary deportation for those who had previously been paroled into the U.S. — and warns the tactics used by the administration are beginning to resemble the countries these people fled. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Yesterday’s good news, if you missed it!

Call: Senate Dems need to keep fighting Trump’s lawlessness! Thank them for forcing votes, holds, & quorum calls— and urge them to continue using every tool to slow his authoritarian agenda and expose its harm. Use your voice! www.indivisibleor.org/take-action/...

This is a good read—and a reminder from ACLU’s Sandy Chung that we should be preparing for authoritarianism, not just reacting to it. Portland is a test case. ICE raids, protest arrests, federal threats. It’s all here. Get organized, stay ready.

From the LinkedIn of the woman—a white lawyer from Carlsbad, CA—who filmed this encounter and shared the video:

white women need to keep doing this shit.
