Pulsepoint is another good resource. Not seeing much burning per Portland Fire & Rescue. Veg fire over off the 84.

Shadow President and man who keeps the mass deportation trains running on time, Stephen Miller, is just fed up with being accurately labeled a fascist and a Nazi. Do not mock his looks, or his height, or the fact that he IS A FASCIST AND A NAZI.

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

My goddaughter is getting married up in NorCal/Sierra this weekend. I'm at Nordstrom Rack shopping for clothes. I would literally rather get run over with my truck. Note: she is worth it. 😍

Now that my album has been out for a couple weeks seems like a good time to reshare this little interview I did with @punknews.bsky.social where I talk a bit about each song, the recording process, that kinda thing www.punknews.org/article/8655...

Listen to Evan Greer's new album, 'AMAB/ACAB', and read a track-by-track breakdown!

Today, we are extremely excited to bring you the premiere of the new album by Boston-based anarcho-indie-punk musician Evan Greer! The album is called AMAB/ACAB and features percussion from Rachel Blu...

Rudy is the real deal. Been waiting for an update, and he sure has it! Makes me really glad I migrated @gregpak.com to Blacksky's myatproto.social PDS for non-Black users - gonna migrate @gregpak.net over asap as well.

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 14h

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11
