what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

C. M-J-M-A’s Return to Oregon The next morning in Tacoma, Defendants released M-J-M-A- without explanation and left her to find her own way back home to Oregon. Id. ¶¶ 19-20. As stated in M-J-M-A-’s declaration, . . . [A]n officer called me and told me to get my stuff because I was going to leave. I thought I was being transferred to another detention center. . . . The officer took me to another room to change into my original clothes. After I was done, an ICE officer came to get me and that is when I found out I was being released. She asked if I had someone to pick me up, and I said no. She said that if I did not have a ride, they would just leave me alone on the street. This terrified me because I have never been Tacoma and I did not have a phone or any money with me. Luckily, I was able to get a ride home with someone else who was visiting a family member at the detention center that day. I have now returned home but I am still afraid that ICE will come and arrest me again. They have done it once without a reason, so I fear they will do it again. I feel it was only luck that I was able to meet with the attorneys for a few minutes before I was taken from Portland, and that is the only reason I am here and not deported or in a detention center somewhere else in the country. I know some of the other people who were detained at the same time as me, have already been deported or transferred to detention centers in other states. Id. at ¶¶ 19-21.

But relevant to important decisions to be made in City Hall, these two paragraphs from the opinion describe the absolute necessity for emergency legal representation at the ICE facility in Portland. But for a few minutes with an attorney, M-J-M-A would be gone and this case would not exist.

You should probably move to Portland with two friends, work together in a skyscraper overlooking the volcanoes, and have a delicious $13 lunch at the food cart pod every day while you disrupt Salesforce or whatever

I thought you were wrong, but not necessarily an idiot. Now I see *I* was wrong. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

Bitch, please

Please don't forget when she toured communities in Morrow and Umatilla where people are being *poisoned*, and then shortly after declared an economic state of emergency so pollution regulations could be bypassed *and they could keep poisoning people*

"ICE agents are the equivalent of cartel hitmen" is a wild take, but Mike Lee is here for it.

You would think this would break some sort of law; that is if they cared about laws, which they’ve proven not to.

Black man found hanging in Marietta ga. a couple of days ago. No news coverage again. Likely not a suicide as they are again trying to say. Statistically speaking Black people don’t hang ourselves from trees. Any guess of who would do this?!

Listen, I know things are bad right now, but... I also need you to know that Multnomah County is considering eliminating all animal enrichment at Multnomah County Animal Services.

What we know about Detroit police calls to CPB at traffic stops Detroit police officers coordinated with Border Patrol more often than the department acknowledged.

Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison suspended two officers for coordinating with Border Patrol in violation of department policy. He said he “intends to terminate them."

Our public records request showed two more instances of officers calling immigration agents, with @kobylevin.bsky.social:

As Oregon lawmakers & Trail Blazers ownership asks taxpayers to fork over💰for a stadium revamp, now's a good time to read this research-driven explanation of why this is a *terrible* idea (cc @ecosozialismus.bsky.social @drmitchpdx.bsky.social @councilorkanal.bsky.social @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social)

Truly wish the news would stop pretending this is a real story. This "petition" doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell. Quit sensationalizing. This is (one of the reasons) why people don't trust the news anymore.

Thread regarding the pending lawsuit here:

In southwest Idaho FBI raid, officials zip-tied teens and used aggressive force, lawsuit alleges • Idaho Capital Sun A lawsuit by ACLU of Idaho alleges law enforcement used aggressive tactics and unjustly detained hundreds of people, including children.

400 people. Zip tied outdoors for hours.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

This is from the Financial Times. They are by no means a liberal/left-leaning publication.
