imho (in my hoe-ish opinion), "life of a showgirl" is taylor swift's best album after "midnights."

it's weird to me that it's so divisive. the first three tracks are pop perfection.

just for the record: the first few days of the protests that began this summer in portland were a lot of women β€” black, native, trans β€” showing up and spreading the word.

the women of this city will be the reason the troop deployment will not work here. xoxo

Weird energy outside Portland’s ICE facility. Probably 100 people scattered around the area, seemingly a mix of protesters and counter-protesters. One guy seems to be looking for a fight from the protesters, who aren’t interested. β€œAre you scared?” he asked. β€œNo, just annoyed.”

New: Apple just removed ICEBlock, the app for reporting sightings of ICE, from its App Store after DOJ pressure. ICEBlock's developer tells 404 Media "we are determined to fight this."

"Capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move."

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

It is not a coincidence that most of the videos you see of ICE agents using excessive force seem to feature unarmed women half their size. πŸ™ƒ

If you're curious, I'd suggest taking a deep dive through the bluesky of @cozca.bsky.social and her many months of posting details of this targeted violence as it happened.

They've now banned her β€” a native woman! β€” from being within a certain distance of the protest, 1st amendment be damned.

@katmabu.bsky.social Can you help us get coverage of this trend as it's happened all summer in Portland Oregon's 24/7, 100+ day protest outside the ICE facility?

Dramatically disproportionate numbers of brown women being detained and brutalized (often including S/A)

Also targeting all trans ppl.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (πŸŽ₯: Elias Eliahu)

@tinakotek.bsky.social Many people I am around at the protest have given up on you helping us. I have not. Not because I have reason to hope, but because hoping is a necessity for me now.

I hope you realize the moment we are in and stop kowtowing to private business (GEO GROUP etc.) interests.

@tinakotek.bsky.social I think I'm going to start calling your office every day to try to book an appointment so someone on your team can explore how you can help us at least keep our protestors equipped with what they need to treat the wounded and protect anyone who asks from DHS/ICE's violence.

@tinakotek.bsky.social Can you do something?

You might be the last mayor this state gets to choose in a somewhat fair and free election. What do you want to do with the remaining time you have before Trump's unconstitutional destruction of state rights makes you incapable of helping us at all?

@tinakotek.bsky.social The Portland Police claim to not be helping ICE/DHS, PPB claims to be hands-off re: the protest β€” but they are abusing city policies about encampments to aggressively raid our small, well-kept camp holding the supplies we need to treat those injured by ICE or MAGA agitators.

@tinakotek.bsky.social More and more people are becoming aware of Portland Police's culpability in the illegal and brutal use of force happening outside ICE to the protestors who've peacefully assembled for more than 100+ days.

Yall can figure out how torrents work or you can go outside but yall don’t NEED Hulu and Disney to get you through your day.
