The Sameer Project’s donations are down 45% today but their work is unfortunately far from over. Give to the South campaign, which supplies 200,000 liters of water a day: chuffed.org/project/1132...

Feel really bad for anyone else named Stephen Miller right now. Seems like a very common name.

Bay Area transit riders have fully returned to the system since 2024 with more unique riders than in 2019 🎉

Each rider though is taking fewer trips/month than in 2019, so the next stage of the recovery requires retooling transit to better service more types of trips

Typically I’d be making plans to see my favorite teams hit the ice this season but wheelchair van sadly died in May.

Fortunately, this amazing community has helped me & I’m hoping that continues!

If you see this please share!

Trump sicced the National Guard on LA, ramping up immigrant arrests in a city that’s been targeted by ICE for months.

Here’s how @lataco.bsky.social, a local taco site tracking the raids, became an essential reporting powerhouse to their community.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.
