Oh, lord, they look like stuffed animals. Protesters won't be able to resist tickling them for long.

Our public school is diverse, and many people were frightened. We didn't see anything that night, but the struggle's still young. We'll be out here, connecting with and supporting our neighbors, because that's how everyday anti-fascism actually works.

This is my town, and I took this picture last week while we stood watch at the elementary school's Back-to-School night. Our neighborhood group @worthfightingforsj.bsky.social had been asked for support since there had been ICE kidnappings nearby.

(human-written em dash) the local elementary school's community garden, backgrounded by a street mural on the back wall of a local restaurant. The trees of Forest Park peek over the buildings way off on the horizon.

I just showed this post to my spouse because it verified a point. We were deciding which team to support in a WNBA game and I said, "Well, Portland has more in common with Minneapolis."

That's awesome. We can definately use the Portland version!

I've rarely seen a quiet Portland city councilor in my time in this town, and @candaceavalos.bsky.social thankfully isn't one!

Post a book you love from the 1970s.
