After the death of Rutilo Jorge one week ago today, we must renew conversations for a safe bike facility on Hwy 43 between Sellwood and Lake Oswego.

I had never ridden it before Saturday and I was shocked and saddened by what I discovered.

Fuck this country. This is how much I'm gonna be paying per month next year for my shitty Catholic health care plan (Providence) with a $9800 deductible. Plus $100 copay per visit to any specialist.

This is the cheapest plan available to me on healthcare.gov

Please join us tonight, rain or shine, for a mass mobilization to make clear:

We want ICE out of New York City.

We won’t stop showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors.

Immigration advocates say if you see ICE targeting someone, knowing what to do in the moment is critical to protecting immigrants. It’s hard to know what to look for, but this guide can help you better understand how to be an effective bystander in Oregon, and your legal right to do so.
What to do if you spot ICE in your community
Amid President Trump’s immigration crackdown, local community networks are the first line of defense. Here’s what Oregon advocates say you should do if you see agents detaining someone.

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff

-Water for tear gas
-sudecon wipes for mace
-if no sudecon, wash mace with water
Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS.

Just use bottled water please.
Timely reminder that the treatment for chemical weapons like tear gas and pepper spray is:

1) remove from active contamination (get them out of the cloud of teargas, remove outer layers of clothing if possible)
2) flush eyes with ONLY clean water. Wash skin and hair with water and soap.

thinking about how in parts of Rojava they experimented with the idea of "what if everyone's aunts were the cops and they just sorta had guns but also still dealt with mostly everything by just surrounding the offending parties and yelling at them"

anyway, worth remembering

The document suggests a popular front against authoritarianism as the likeliest route out of this mess, and describes Musk as taking the role of Yarvin's CEO-King while Trump exists as a largely ceremonial "President".

Love to pay Providence upwards of $400 a month for a shitty health plan and then get an estimate for a test that will cost $2000, with Providence paying none of the cost, even though they're the provider. Suffice to say, I won't be getting the test.

Worst "health care system" in the fuckin' world.
