Those inflatable animals at Portland's ICE detention facility just punched a hole in the regime's narrative that the city is a fiery hellhole. I saw one video with them doing the Cha-Cha Slide and they knew all the moves!

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king.

Keep fighting. Keep shining a light on what's happening. Keep pressuring Congress and the regime.

And if you're able, please protest loudly outside the nearest detention center so our neighbors inside know we haven't forgotten them.

People are losing hope.

A large group of detained men in white uniforms stand in an outdoor yard, some shirtless, many raising their hands or waving cloths. Above them is a headline reading, “Conditions at ICE detention centers are fueling a surge in suicide attempts,” with a subheading about poor sanitation, overcrowding, mistreatment, and lack of medical services harming migrants in custody.
