Love that Chicago is getting in on the Portland humor bandwagon! Hard to say it’s a warzone when this is happening!

I like this ICE reporting acronym much better than prior ones: “CLEAR.”
C - count
L - location
E - equipment, incl clothing
A - activity
R - report time

Graphic from Oregon Worker Relief and Oregon For All:

Reporting ICE activity?
Be CLEAR!

Count: "3 officers, 1 van"
Location: "SE 2nd & Morrison, Portland"
Equipment: "Blue uniforms that say ICE, white van unmarked*
Activity: "Officers are checking IDs"
Report time: "245pm, Feb 2"

Share facts, not fear.

The Senate Intelligence Authorization Act contains a major change that would allow the CIA’s top lawyer to avoid the Senate confirmation process. In an era of creeping authoritarianism this could hasten the Intelligence Community’s use as a tool of political espionage. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn.

The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time.

"People can be fun loving people and still protest."

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.

Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.

Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

So costume character dance parties are being treated as a national emergency, meanwhile, almost every damn day:

4 people were killed and 20 more were injured in a shooting at a bar in South Carolina, sheriff says

A mass shooting at a crowded bar on the idyllic South Carolina island of St. Helena left four people dead and at least 20 injured.

Black women make up 12% of the federal workforce. The largest representation of their labor.

And Trump is firing, firing, firing.

Keith Boykin @keithboykin.bsky.social · 1h

Trump claimed that immigrants were “taking Black jobs,” but even after he deported 350,000 immigrants this year, 300,000 Black women lost their jobs. Black unemployment, overall, has soared to 7.5% under Trump, while white unemployment has dropped to 3.7%.

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

This unwell man, who was President of the United States, is trying to rewrite history.

Nice try, Don. Biden wasn’t president on January 6, 2021. I would say even his own voters can’t be this gullible, but…

White supremacy is racism. Segregationism is racism. And importantly, the desire to maintain and preserve economic, social, educational, religious and other institutions that are permeated with racism is most definitely RACISM!
