Here's some excellent news for your day. ❤️🔥
Colorado became the first state to mandate polling places inside all county jails—and turnout among voters who were detained in jails skyrocketed.
It grew by roughly 900% between 2022 and 2024.

Good morning! I’m currently at Beaverton High School in OR where a mass student walk out has just started to demand a proactive ICE protocol for their school and district.
Students say that similar walkouts were planned at multiple other high schools, including Aloha, Sunset, Southridge & more.

We are quite literally back to torture devices used on American slaves. I just can't.
Some of the treatment amounts to torture, the report says, including Alligator Alcatraz’s use of “the box” — a 2×2 foot “cage-like structure people are put in as punishment” — which inmates have been placed in for hours at a time with their hands and feet attached to restraints on the ground.

Wow. There are a LOT of important details in this story about how ICE is acting in our community.
Woman detained by ICE in Woodburn felt a little hope when an officer brought her to a room to talk to lawyers. But after just 10 minutes with the lawyers, the ICE officer interrupted and loaded her onto a bus in chains, shackles to Tacoma detention center she said.

Portland Said It Was Investing in Homeless People’s Safety. Deaths Have Quadrupled.
The city responded to an increase in homeless deaths by intensifying encampment sweeps and adding emergency shelter at the expense of permanent housing. Experts say this has perpetuated the problem.

Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.
