Great story, with possibly the greatest author's disclosure of all time:
"Disclosure: Prior to his election, the author was Councilor Green’s DM in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign."

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Yesterday ICE attacked a home care worker and SEIU member in Oregon. She was going to pay rent and get a cake for her grandson’s birthday.
ICE smashed her car window before finding her passport. They left her with a concussion, torn rotator cuff, and bruised ribs.

As of now, four Black people have been arrested, two journalists - Don Lemon and Georgia Fort - and two activists - Trahern Jeen Crew and Jamael Lvdell Lundy.
It would be unwise to overlook the racial motivation to focus only on the political one. In fact, they are related to one another.

SHAME on Councilor Zimmerman for taking critical resources away from tenants and families and unhoused neighbors. SHAME on him for seeking another way to divert public funds into developers’ pockets. Unconscionable man.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

It’s freezing temps here in Portland. Today I went in to work around 9AM. I saw a person in a sleeping bag on the sidewalk. When I left in the evening, that person was still there—in the same spot. I called Portland Street Response for a wellness check. I don’t know if the person made it.
