This would be a story about the one couple but also look at affordability issues, job markets, oppression, family connections, etc. Basically, with the right couple, I want to write something deep and meaningful and engaging to read.

I'd especially love to find someone setting up a little free fridge/pantry for the first time. I'm seeing lots of food bank and restaurant stories, but I know community members want to step up in other ways, and I'd love to document that! Particularly if the person has their own good story to tell

Sadly, KATU takes a 10 or 15-minute break every four hours, and that time is now. I was really glued to the plight of these frogs. They’re multiplying.

The right-wing influencers keep saying it’s crazier at night outside the Portland ICE facility and, well, chants of “frog! Frog! Frog!” have indeed broken out tonight.

An update on the scene outside the Portland ICE facility.
Right now, the 9th Circuit is considering whether to allow troops to deploy to Portland's ICE facility. At this moment, looks like there are only Know Your Rights and a clergyperson outside.

Shout-out to the reporters who agreed to stand in front of a camera over night. I would be so embarrassed and scared I would accidentally/thoughtlessly pick my nose or anything. We salute you!

At 1 a.m., they reported there were only five people there, one of whom was picking up trash. Otherwise, so quiet this reporter looks bored.
