Any Seattle folks interested in fostering cats and/or a husky?

Hi, me again. It’s not Friday but I’ve got a
personal mutual aid request, specific to Seattle area.

Family friend lost their job and their housing. They tried to move back in with their parents but their parents said “Since you’re not a Christian you cannot stay in our home.” Big sigh.

MAGA: We are a CHRISTIAN nation & based on the BIBLE—which is GREATER than the Constitution.

Me: "Do not mistreat foreigners living in your country. Treat them just as you treat your own citizens. Love foreigners as you love your-selves. I am your Lord God."

MAGA: No No Not that part of the Bible.

On Friday, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio announced on his podcast that because "it seems like [the] Portland Police Bureau is not doing their job," "the Proud Boys will be coming back to Portland" in "one capacity or another."

I can say this with all sincerity: most of antifa was at work while this “army” happened.

This made me laugh so hard. Second screenshot is of the video posted by Benny Johnson of the event.

BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stares down army of Antifa and a guy in a chicken suit from the rooftop of the ICE facility here in Portland.
Noem says:
"Hey; Guy in the chicken suit. You can do better.
Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed."
Noem isn't chicken: [chicken emoji]

A view from the roof of the building. There are about 15-20 people visible in total, several of whom appear to be reporters. Most are holding signs. They aren’t even taking up the whole sidewalk. One guy is wearing a chicken suit.

Really upsetting that a conservative man instigating a physical altercation with two women is now a protected class and doesn’t get charged.

And of course PPB folded like cheese (iykyk)

Kristi Noem went into and out of a building she claims is “under siege” by antifascists completely unharmed.

You know. Your classic nonviolent siege of a federal building where employees (and masked goons) come and go every single day.

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.
