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

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.

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.
