Here's to a positive 2026.
It was a toss up between 'Call it a Genocide' (youtu.be/xRHZwb7HCY8?...) and our far cheerier 'Union Jill'.
Let's be happy today.

I went to my first ICE watch yesterday and was surprised by how kind and community-centered it felt.
PIRC (@pirc_oregon) runs free ICE watch training in Portland. Once trained, you’ll get text alerts so you can show up when ICE is sighted.
Sometimes just showing up is enough.
