Another great day in vibrant Portland! Drink of the day is Volcanic Frog w crushed ice. Tomorrow’s the last day of the annual FashioNXT week, a runway production that TIME Magazine ranks #1 in the US outside NY Fashion Week. Fashions have extended to the streets in this happy, creative city of love.

ICE is the terrorist organization

They LIE about every incident.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Couldn’t have said it better. Nailed it.

Well said. I’m horrified & cry for the many heroes & sheroes over more than 250 years that got, and sustained, us life, liberty, equality (strides were made in many Power of the People battles), and the encouragement to peruse our own happiness. We can’t keep losing what they gave their lives for.

Protecting immigrants from untrained law enforcement brutally ignoring rights should trump protecting pedophiles from law. But, someone accused of child rape is presumed innocent, calmly encountered, given rights,& escorted; and never grabbed, thrown to ground, chokeholded & sent straight to prison.

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

Gender affirming care, and injections/pokes

Lucy Burns @lucyburns.bsky.social · 4d

Contention: We have to take care of … Democrats wanting to give healthcare to “illegal aliens”

Support for contention: none

1. Congress passed statutes/appropriations, not political parties
2. No such law proposed
3. No facts gets him to spending our infrastructure $ on his wealth & retribution

Lucy Burns @lucyburns.bsky.social · 4d

Those damn injections/pokes and gender-affirming surgeries.

Lucy Burns @lucyburns.bsky.social · 4d

Press is going to have to get him and Trump to provide proof of their accusations/contentions and not just let them assert without finding out (and letting us know) the basis of their assertions. Even simply as the basic who, what, when, where, or how.
