Latest article is about two Aloha Housing Pod locations - one coming to the end of its lease, and another one just starting its process to open in May.
Find out how the program has worked, where the new one will be, and what you can do to hear more and get involved.
I'm far away from MN - but I watch from afar and try to learn.
My county has had the highest number of ICE detentions in Oregon. ICE has taken community members in my town - smashed their car windows, cursed at bystanders, carried the same weapons they're using in MN.
This is a good read.
Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog's day. It's a frame from the movie where he's laying in bed in the Bed and Breakfast with a pastel pink pillow and a quilt. The clock radio is just starting to sing the song it keeps playing each time the day starts to repeat.
Happy Groundhog's Day. May your day be one worth repeating.

AFP's been growing thanks to people hoping on board - both in spreading the word and the occasional coin.
Starting to get local story tips from strangers - which is great. Also great? Getting added to a Maui mayor candidate's media mailing list..... too bad I'm not actually a Maui publication. :)

ICE arrested this man, Luis, in my community on Thanksgiving morning. As his partner walked away they laughed and called "Happy Thanksgiving" after her.

I am writing two feature length articles at once with both deadlines set for this week. Both are great topics with local importance, but boy, I look forward to having nothing to do for a change.

Thousands of people attended No Kings protests in Washington county on Saturday, October 18. The Aloha Free Press spent the afternoon covering two No Kings protests in the area.
After some rest, I will work on an article for this next week. Stay tuned.
Community sources say there has been an increase in ICE activity this week in the county.
To learn more about how to get help for community members if ICE is in one's neighborhood or business, community members can visit the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition website.
In space of one week, I got $ donations for my work. In the last few weeks, I've been invited to meet with people wanting to talk about my work and got one offer to be featured in the area's monthly community magazine (which I've declined for now - I need more time to focus on building this paper).

I live an interesting life.

Just a friendly reminder that they want y’all to be miserable and wrapped up in their agendas so don’t forget to live your life and laugh and find joy.
Cuz even if they eventually get us all killed, this is still your time here.
Roll on babies.

The plan for Rose City CC!
Friday: Aloy went well!
Saturday: I'll have some Vogon poetry, the 3rd worst poetry in the universe, to share.
Sunday: I'll have enthusiastically cheerful stickers to share, just as Linda Mitchell would totally do.

Moises Sotelo, arms crossed, looks into the camera. He is standing in a vineyard on a sunny day.
ICE abducted Moises Sotelo today. He is a trusted vineyard management business owner from Newburg, Oregon, who has been in the US since 1994. He has a wife, three children, and five grandchildren who need him to be returned safely to them.
