Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

JUST IN: 9th Circuit temporarily reinstates Judge Immergut's 1st TRO blocking solely Trump's Oregon National Guard deployment. Both TROs now in effect (CA/TX too). 9th to decide on en banc by Tuesday. Move undercuts DOJ's bid to lift 2nd TRO but court says no msg on merits.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Bad news out of the 9th circuit.

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more.

Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages.

It Was Never About The Hostages.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Tense scene as Feds unload in #Portland for a shift change. This is not the No Kings rally.

This is what fascism looks like. This is a fucking neighborhood.

here's a list to make it easier to block the propaganda machine

stop helping ICE (and all of the surveillance state).

If you’re a man in the room and a public official says this about your female colleague, you don’t continue as if nothing happened.

TW: everyday fascism in the US, funded entirely by US taxpayers.

Wondering what’s going on with National Guard in Oregon? Here’s a quick timeline of the legal developments over the past week.

NOTE: This information is current as of Monday morning, October 6. We’ll continue to share updates as the situation evolves.

And in the midst of all the federal horrors, there’s this…

He’s trying to provoke a war.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

They want violence. They fear mockery.

Two things felt different to the ppl I spoke with who’d been protesting at the ICE building for months.
