Today for #nokings I joined a friend with limited mobility on a street corner near her house. More friends joined us. I was reminded: always always always honk for people whose street signs and activism you support. It’s so buoying! #portland #wehavefriendseverywhere

I'm so damn proud of Portland tonight.
Portland City Councilors just unanimously passed a resolution to limit the power of ICE in our City, and codified our Sanctuary City Policies to turn words into actions. In Portland, we protect each other.

I’m very proud to be a Portlander right now. Watching our City Council lay out ordinances to protect our communities from ICE and codifying our Sanctuary Resolution into law.

I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever seen a photo like this where a head of state talks with a member of the palace guard instead of with the king who invited him?

We met up with the Multnomah Democrats @multdems.bsky.social this morning and walked over to the main rally site together. We lost  track of each other real quick. 40 minutes after the rally started with people still streaming in from all the bridges and public transport lines. #handsoff #pdx

This article from The Guardian is the first extended portrait I’ve seen of women living in ice detention right now. Becky, a young British comic artist was detained at the US Canadian border and put into US lockup for 19 days.
She shares news of women from the inside from all over the world.

This headline from The Guardian is puzzling. Doesn’t it mean to say: “Wisconsin Supreme Court race a litmus test for Musk‘s ability to buy any election he wants.”
