Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Kristi Noem has been holding up FEMA funding for Americans in need all year. But now she wants to spend $172M in taxpayer money on luxury jets for her own use. Sheer corruption.

If you go to the resource table at the Broadview ICE protests, as of yesterday, they had a whole rack of inflatables & costumes you could borrow. (also sharing their wish list and a way to get those excellent folks $$ if you can 💚🐸)

I absolutely love how the inflatable costume is taking off for protest! It offers protection in so many fucking ways but if they go into battle, we will need to level the costumes up for extended dancing in tear gas smoke. Let’s talk 🧵🧵🧵🧵

Seems like the IRS is trying to dirty delete the email saying all employees would receive backpay once the shutdown was over. You want a fight? You've found it. We're not backing down, and we know the attempts to deny furloughed feds backpay is illegal.
