Very surprised at the response from Portland’s mayor. Words were not minced for once.

When they decided to teach the kids (such as my 11yo) a lesson I don't think they understood the lesson was fuck ICE
Congrats to ICE for dropping a metric ton of tear gas on a bunch of nurses, teamsters and children just now

the thing that’s really crazy-making to me is that ‘illegal immigration’ is a civil offense in the US, not a criminal one, so there’s not really a reason for a roving band of death squads to get billions & billions of dollars except that American legislators love & crave death

When your actions mobilize the multi-faith clergy squads wearing their most colorful vestments-- you're not on the right side of history.

I can’t anymore.
We have an executive branch that's on a crime spree against the American public. The other branches of government can use their constitutional powers to put a stop to this. If they decline to do that the only other remedy is in the declaration of independence

People are being tortured and murdered in the street. the idea that in addition to this, we have to call our reps and tell them we dont like it seems insane.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

Aw hell. Aside from the weird babyfication, this was me.
At nine, I disappeared into home schooling. No one came looking
Mom insisted I needed a ‘free-form education’ outside public school. After four years of loneliness, I gave up hope that someone would get me out

Working as a barista in the financial district. This got a lot of airplay that spring.
On this day in 1990, The Sundays released their brilliant debut album “Reading, Writing and Arithmetic” featuring "Here's Where the Story Ends" "Can't Be Sure" and "You're Not the Only One I Know"

We are actually doing it and leaving America to move to the Netherlands.
To state the obvious, America has become unsafe, even for privileged middle class white ladies like myself (and I wrote this before Rene Nicole Good was murdered in the city of George Floyd).

I was prepared for the fascism, but I wasn't prepared for so many of my friends, family, and neighbors to think I'm crazy and overreacting about said fascism.
The only people who seem to truly recognize the danger we're in are my husband, two best friends, and my incredibly Appalachian granddaddy.
