This was probably the most up and down week of ICE News in Oregon I’ve seen. Multiple legal wins, but quite a bit of federal brutality.
Detentions reported to PIRC in January were below 100—the first time since September.

This industry is fucked. People tell you to go independent (there ain’t many other options atm) and speaking from experience, the independent route is difficult and labyrinthian to monetize. Detailed work that speaks truth to power often doesn’t get the views/interest of just rambling into a camera.

Funny how conservatives are now commenting on my videos saying I look “unkempt,” presumably because I’m a guy and my hair is more than two inches long.
And for the record, if I look unkempt, it’s probably because I worked multiple twelve hour days back to back and still record myself saying shit.

Hey people, even with my mask on last night and relatively new filters, it was still somewhat spicy. I’m thinking it might be best to invest in a proper MIRA CM-6M with some NATO filters.
If you have the money, I mean disposable income, and are willing to donate, it would really help me out.

Federal agents gassed a crowd of peaceful protesters in Portland yesterday. City and labor leaders have condemned the attack.
“Had the crowd panicked at all, had the winds shifted… [there were] children in the back of this crowd, they would have been killed,” Vincent Hawkins, a protester, said.

At times I feel desensitized to the violence of the state, not in a way that makes it okay, but in a way that’s much worse, that a nightmare is what I’ve come to expect from our government.

Protesters pushed a dumpster down Moody Ave and onto the ICE facility driveway. Feds came out and fired various crowd controls for a few minutes.
Agents, possibly SRT, made at least one arrest.

Labor march of thousands in Portland turned violent when DHS responded to a small group crossing onto federal property by launching tear gas, flashbangs, and pepperballs.
The crowd controls definitely hit the march, which had children in it, but I do not know if they were impacted.
