Halfway up the Lemhi Valley, Gilmore, Idaho's elevation is 7,152. Harriman State Park on the Henry's Fork has less than a foot of snow in the Yellowstone Caldera. No snow all winter at the farmstead. The back (shady) side of Bogus Basin has yet to open. #idpol

Remember ICE shooting two Venezuelans in Portland last month alleging they were members of a Venezuelan gang who weaponized their vehicle when agents tried to apprehend them?

Total BS.

Just left an ICE Protest in Portland OR that started at City Hall and marched to the ICE building. Main demand was "revoke" the lease that lets the agency use their building.

Crowd was 500-1000. They gassed massively after about an hour. Had to pull a lot of 16-17 year old girls out of the gas.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an Executive Order that holds federal agents criminally liable for any actions that violate the law

"If the federal government will not hold these rogue actors accountable, then Chicago will do everything in our power to bring these agents to justice."

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.
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.
