Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

A timeless classic that still rings true some thirteen years later. #RCTID youtu.be/5Kr-siNKO9g?...

Reminder of how they plan to build out and furnish the ICE camps:

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.” Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

If you don't understand why the power lines was a HUGE statement, I got a article for you. www.latitudemedia.com/news/the-end...

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

My spouse: “He just did the alt-Monroe Doctrine.” ❤️❤️❤️

That entire Halftime special was a celebration of community, love, music, diversity and Puerto Rico and very deliberate middle finger to colonization and white supremacy.

OK, that was absolutely amazing!!! Will rewatch a zillion times get all the details. #BadBunny

Sunday afternoon plans... • go to Rockwood @multcolib.bsky.social for an African Song & Dance workshop to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth • watch the Bad Bunny concert • catch up on thank you notes to @repdexteror.bsky.social, @merkley.senate.gov, @wyden.senate.gov for their hard work fighting fascism

Dismantling ICE, which has been co-opted and weaponized beyond reform, does not mean that immigration laws cannot be enforced or that they cannot be strengthened and improved. It simply means that the Trump-directed terrorist army that is ICE will cease to use taxpayer $ to violate the Constitution.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Eggs, hats and unfettered ambition: what we learned about Melania Trump from her documentary

I am so excited to not watch Melania's movie that I'm not watching it right now and will be not watching it all weekend!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Nice try, but we remember who put these vaccine deniers in positions of power… and who, once they proved utterly unfaithful to their promises, are still keeping them there.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

A 5-year-old preschool student was taken with his father by federal immigration agents shortly after arriving home from school, Columbia Heights school leaders said Jan. 21.

state-sponsored child trafficking

"[M]asked agents apprehended 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos in his driveway on Tuesday...[the agent] led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for. My story:

The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Don’t know who made this but….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Van Hollen: We are here to say not one more dime for Donald Trump's ICE operations

What is it like in the Minneapolis ICE Detention Center? Patty O’Keefe & Brandon Siguenza join Jana to discuss their experience being detained for over 9 hours.

Portland’s busiest free café, Blanchet House of Hospitality, has served in Old Town since 1952. There have always been, and there will always be, people in need of a helping hand. Liking and sharing this video supports our work.

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

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

The latest print issue of @streetroots.bsky.social is a devastating read, even if you won’t read every word. 16 pages of items city contractors took during sweeps in the first half of 2025. Data, presented without comment, tells the real, human-centered story of unsheltered Portland homelessness.

"What gets remembered is a function of who’s in the room doing the remembering." Betty Reid Soskin's words and storytelling during a visit to the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park with my sons is a touchstone memory for me as a parent and citizen. #RestInPower

I have happy memories of him being distinctly uncomfortable when posted up at the top of 107 with a mic. He was not welcome in the North End and he knew it. #RCTID
