Trans people, I am once again asking you—nay, begging you—to share something good that is going on in your lives right now!

I’ll start: I’m working on a new graphic novel and having a blast with the creative team we’ve assembled!

For reference of Portland frog facing off ICE art being made.

Photograph at night of a 2-3 deep line of feds in tactical gear and sheilds outside the ICE building in Portland. Facing them alone is someone in a green and white belly frog outfit.

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Our local beer garden now has a new kitchen popup with housemade corndogs and duck fat frites.
It was 73f in the sun.

The sun coming through a tree turning colors.

A really epic corndog with fresh mustard and pickled onions.

Did you or a friend or a family member get attacked by Trump’s brown shirts this weekend? I’d like to hear about it and maybe do something about it. My email is jchavez [at] ojrc [dot] info. Please put “Seeking Legal Advice re: ICE Building” in subject line. All inquiries are confidential.

Pro tip. If you're a realtor trying to sell a house. Light a candle, open a window, air the place out a bit. Especially if the previous owners had lived there for fifty plus years and had quite possibly died in the house.

Even if companies don’t do it I wonder if individuals would.

If I set up a phone number to leave a message would anyone share something they learned the hard way? Could put them together for @fafo.fm as mini or bonus episodes

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

“[t]he freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.”

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.
