Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

🫣 It was jarring to see the unipiper unmasked and speaking! I was unprepared to lose the mystery.

He unipiped down my street wearing a hazmat suit back in March 2020 🥲

Feds on the roof just threw teargas within a couple feet of me. Loud explosion. They seemingly threw it because a couple people were sitting on the little wall in front of the facility.

The only reason this isn’t considered trafficking via fraud is because crime is something poor people do

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

Federal agents in Portland shoved a protester to the ground and then fired pepper balls at another as they tried to help.

Safe to describe this as unnecessary force as they cleared the driveway.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

I just don't understand why I always have to work short staffed and close alone more than anyone else. I hate this place.

Ugh. They are treating me awful at work today and I feel like I just gotta take the write up and leave without the pto. Gonna be $200 behind on my rent next month, must start raising now. Shares are a huge help, thanks friends

Kivan @kivanbay.bsky.social · Jul 2

Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

Iunno man I'm just so sick of watching people tie themselves in knots to protect the feelings of drivers over the lives of cyclists

Kivan @kivanbay.bsky.social · 17h

I see people on here do it all the time too and it's like, driver, you get YOU'RE the one in the machine that easily kills people, maybe YOU should be more careful

There's a ghost bike by my house and a dude I find generally unpleasant was explaining to me that it was actually the fault of the young student in the bike lane that a driver struck and killed him with a goddamn truck. The excuses people make for drivers baffle me

I thought this image told a clear story, but people in the Facebook comments theorized that the cyclist who got hit by the truck must have run a stop sign and should have been in a bike lane anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️

Comic panel: A man gesturing wildly says “I was just driving along and bam! A bike came out of nowhere! No chance for me to see it coming! Stupid bike riders think they own the road!” Behold him are two yellow “bike and ped crossing” signs, flashing lights, and green and white street striping to indicate a bicycle/pedestrian crosswalk. I’ve circled the crosswalk and signs in highlighter.
