🚨ICE trying to disappear kids have pics taken for photo recognition. ICE — Q: Why aren’t you in school? A: Minor — Parent-teacher conferences Minor — Q: Are you Mexican? A: (not heard) Follow up: Why are you covering your faces? Trolling ICE - not wise, but brave AF

"Are they asleep yet?"

SPINNING SLUGGO SATURDAY

If people only realized that this ICE facility is a tiny 1/2 block in Portland in a very out of the way part of town 🤷🏼‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/gran...

So my partner just tested + for covid for the FIRST time, and I'll probably test the same (first!) when I get my delivery in the morning. We've managed YEARS of this pandemic as people in the public and had tested often when I'd bring home something from school. I mask at school when feeling off.

What are we doing here America? youtube.com/shorts/s6ZCg...

17 degrees colder today than yesterday. It's almost vest weather.

There is still so much snot in me.

I now have people explaining to me how to get your documents again and y'all... I realize this is a problem because I've had to do it. When you don't have ANY of them, it's not that straightforward even when the government isn't hunting you for sport.

I'm catching cold, and other teachers are out sick. My landlord/homeowner situation is really fucking weird and wrong. Like a tenants rights lawyer would eat these folks up! Who has ever lived anywhere with an independent lease without your own electricity account or monthly readings?

I told my mom I went to a SPORTS RESTAURANT to watch the Yankees game after school and have felt weird about it ever since. It was by full definition a BAR. OH MY. I just re-read that and see how a 17-year-old could've said it.

Who controls the House, @washingtonpost.com ? Who controls the Senate, @washingtonpost.com? Who controls the White House, @washingtonpost.com? Who controls the Supreme Court, @washingtonpost.com? Who controls YOU, @washingtonpost.com?

Jessica: The guy who drove up to the Mormon church… was a Trump supporter. He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard… When the shoe is on the other foot and you can't demonize the left for this one, they say nothing.

My old cat, Cat'n, used to do this <3 I totally needed this on my timeline today!

Portland is so messed up that I'm going to cross the river into Washington and go swimming in the rivers one last time before it collapses under the millions of Fall leaves.

today's mood. inspired so much by the news of the million-strong general strike in Italy. BRAVO!!!

If this were on fire, our skies would show it.

I bet that at this very moment, in a Portland New Seasons parking lot, a car alarm is going off because a person was holding too much many reusable bags filled with produce and accidentally bumped their keys.

I'm birdwatching from my own front yard and have seen two different species of woodpecker, two of finches, bushtits, and my bird of the summer!! Which is a white breasted nuthatch and more!!!

The Rosa Parks part at the end... Leslie Jones needs more airtime.

One of my nieces is into the same EVERYTHING as I was/am into! I have a whole box of clothes that I thrifted from her age to my 30s and music recommendations coming out of my ears! Once I get the replacement needle, she'll have my second record player ever and an awesome starter collection.

NAR apostle and Christian supremacist, Chris Overstreet, is already out there at Pioneer Square handing out Bibles in honor of MAGA Jesus.

Makes perfect sense‼️ America is the land of greed‼️ The more you know‼️

I'm finishing dinner before 7:30!! It helps when we clean the kitchen. Who'da thunk it?!

In non-political news: fresh basil is one of the best smells.

I eat dinner too late.

I'm too tired to read this all, but hot dang! I want to print it all out and be like, "Here ma, CATCH!"

I am exhausted. My mom reminded me over the phone that her first concert was Bread and (???). She saw Elvis, though, so I'm not sure on this timeline. That's not why I'm exhausted, but y'all... who wants to work with a ton of kids tomorrow for me?

So if anti-fascists are Trump’s political enemies, what does that make Trump?

I was going to come home from dinner and go to bed. Like, 8:30. I can never make it here to bed before 10:30, and it's usually because I wanna do bad news scrolling or games or the occasional pimple popping video binge... BUT TONIGHT WAS DIFFERENT!! I'm up late to document a bunch of legal shit!!

Stay strong, Oregon!

very normal and good that “chasing people who look like immigrants” is a career with better benefits than “raising the entire future of the country”

I had an anxiety attack after work that got worse the closer I got to my home. I came inside, double-checked the locks, closed the open blinds, and curled up on the couch with the cats. This was until (and after) my partner came home. I'm going to try to sleep.

If reading the news sounds better than having my thoughts about my rental situation then it means the rental situation got really fucking dark. #pdx #tenantsrights

It's been my lifelong dream to spend a gorgeous Saturday retreating from my lawn and locking up my home and pulling down blinds, and then doing a police report after multiple mini breakdowns because NOTHING EVER WORKS OUT AS A RENTER!!! #pdx #tenants

Aggle flaggle!!!

Posting for others, and so that I can do this on my lunch break.

It's Ukulele Friday!!! On Top of Spaghetti is a great way to teach children to sneeze into their elbows. So ya know! #preschool

Why isn't there a Law and Order: Financial Crimes where it's white guys going after rich white guys and being like... "we see nut'n wrong wit what they were doin'!"

We had a pinkeye scare this morning, but it was just irritation from rubbing their face on the carpet during our gathering. Love my job!

There was a school shooting in Colorado today. Where is his statement on that and all the other school shootings?

One down today 😬

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

Non-political: it's the second week of preschool, and one of our classes had five children out. Not mine. Mine is still loud and energetic! For now...

#UCSanDiego researchers found that the harmless #CowpeaMosaicVirus (CPMV) fights cancer by activating the immune system to attack tumors. Injected into tumors, it triggers interferons, rallying immune cells to destroy cancer & create lasting immunity. Cheap to produce, CPMV is nearing human trials.

Florida's surgeon general is ending vaccine mandates in schools, and he isn't stopping there
