As someone who was there it was clear that ICE intended to fire teargas on the labor march, directing shots over the heads of those closest to the building and firing munitions directly at the crowd. They even chose munitions that would have the widest possible effect.
Shameful that the Portland Mayor said that “outside agitators” were responsible for triggering ICE’s assault on thousands of union members last Saturday. Then @pdxoregon50501.bsky.social threw out the ED of @jwjpdx.bsky.social for holding the mayor accountable.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.
Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention without prescribed medication, lawsuit says
The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress, according to a federal lawsuit.

It ain’t over, folks. It’s very ain’t over.
ICE is very active right now including indiscriminately stopping people on 37th & Central. There’s also ICE vehicles active in Holland, Como, and St Anthony East neighborhoods all at the same time as of 12 PM here on Saturday.

Spend your weekend outside and help protect your neighbors.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Briefly putting on my emergency management professional hat and saying one of the first things a new Dem president does is to make FEMA an independent Agency and give it all of ICE's budget, esp for mitigation and preparedness projects. Ditto for the new US Wildland Fire Service.

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.
After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.

18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

“Jeff Bezos is a lapdog to trump. He should fight back” my man just laid of 16,000 people. He made his employees shit in bags and hired the Pinkertons to go online and lie about it. Do you understand the level of pure psychopath he is? He’d kill you for a dollar. Fuck he’d kill you for a penny
I keep seeing Americans be like “why don’t CEOs challenge trump! They’re cowards” and it’s so bizarre to see so many dyed in the wool capitalists who have no fucking clue what capitalism is or how it works

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
