Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

It was almost 80 degrees today in NYC, but since it’s October, some people were wearing boots, cardigans and tweed. You can pry my sandals and tank tops from my overheated sweaty fingers.

Some folks have reported experiencing extended nausea and dizziness since being tear gassed in Brighton Park on Saturday. General reminder to seek medical care even if you think you can tough it out—document it all and start a paper trail. You never know if you may need it.

Was it Big Lebowski related, or is that only for straight men?

Got my covid shot today. Stocked up the fridge with stuff so that I can lay around tomorrow (but also do a little zine work!) I usually feel lousy the day after when my body is working hard to make those antibodies.

I would love to do some zines for Texas. Someone gave info for Houston awhile ago, but it wasn’t for rapid response ICE watch. It’s nearly impossible to find all of these organizations and hotlines from afar, so if you have any info, let me know!

Tragic news from Canada where the Canadian Supreme Court has gone from the official dress on the left to the one on the right

Canadian Supreme court. Everyone is dressed in bright red wooly gowns, with a beige trim. It looks sort of like a Santa robe

The Canadian Supreme court. Everyone is dressed in black gowns with a bright white kravat, and two thin red vertical lines on the side of the robe

Not yet! If you have rapid response ICE watch hotline info for whatever part of Texas you are in, please put it in the zine request form!
