On Monday, federal agents pulled three people over, broke through the windows of their white Chevy Silverado, dragged two brothers from the vehicle, injured them with a Taser and rifle and swept them to a federal immigration jail in Tacoma.

A family in Spokane is in urgent need of our help!
They’re facing an immigration crisis - the father was detained at their home by ICE and is at risk of deportation and separation from his wife and two small children.

Keep. Families. Together.
No one is illegal on stolen land.
Immigrants make our country what it is and we need to support our neighbors more than even.

One good thing that came out of the Thomas Fire [in my home town] is this kombucha. Feels ironic that it was on sale today at my local grocery store in WA. 😅 Support first responders! Climate change is real!

The amplification of these false messages undermines science and public health, and it’s about to get a lot worse.

Local history tea 🍵 100 years ago in Spokane, Hazel Brewer, testified in court after being arrested for a noisy house party at her home (316 E 26th - looks like a good house for a party). The “evidence” used again her was a full bottle of Johnnie Walker whiskey. She was found innocent.
