There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None. This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Never leave home without it

Lots of thoughts and prayers to all the casualties, orphans, and people left homeless in war ravaged Portland as you dig yourselves out of the rubble and wreckage of what remains of your once beautiful city. You will never be forgotten.

Nature hike at Nightbird Gulch this afternoon, finished just as it started raining.

There’s always a risk - whether perceived or not. Prepare as best you can and attend if you are willing. I don’t think GA is there, yet. Be careful 💕✊🏽 What to do if “less-lethal” weapons are used by ICE: phr.org/our-work/res... How to protect yourself digitally: activistchecklist.org/protest/

Last yr I told everyone I could that 🍊💩saying he just wanted to be dictator on day 1 was all he would need; that he could effectuate changes on day 1 that would forever change who we are & how our gov functions. Hate to say, "I told you so" but -- nah, I'm OK saying it. 🤦‍♀️

Hmm, let’s see… #RockinTuesday, how about a #RockinTrainRide? The Durango-Silverton train, on the way down the mountain, going back from Silverton to Durango, Colorado.

Pete Hegseth wasted millions on a meeting that could have been an email. He's focused on trivial issues like grooming and wiping "diversity" from websites. Meanwhile, he diverted funds from military housing and allowed the deportation of troops' families. He is unfit to lead.

Been thinking a lot on this MLK Jr. quote lately: “I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice…”

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.
