Two Portland Police officers whose conduct during recent anti-ICE protests came under scrutiny have been identified through records requests.

Thirty-one known defendants have been charged in Chicago with non-immigration crimes tied to “Operation Midway Blitz.”

With today’s acquittal, 15 of them have been cleared.

No one has been convicted.

As over 1000 businesses in the Twin Cities close with workers out on strike today in defiance of ICE and Trump, we recall the 1934 general strike in Minneapolis.

Police murdered two people. The governor declared martial law.

But the strikers still won their demands.

I miss going out dancing. 'Woah. Yeah, you've got some moves' They used to say to me. Because they feared my power.

Washington County declares emergency over increased ICE activity Hillsboro, Washington County set aside a combined $400,000 to help communities impacted by immigration arrests.

Oregon’s most diverse county, Washington County, declared a state of emergency this week because of increased immigration enforcement that has cloaked much of the community in fear over the past few weeks.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

you post something you find beautiful about this world full of beauty and they punish you for it

this was for a colorado measure guaranteeing universal free lunch for kids. funny how a short two-column table can say so much in so little space.

and it's a bummer and unfair that the police can just decide to refuse to follow the law, and that business associations etc will flood the zone with propaganda declaring any attempt at a better world a miserable failure

But you have to meet that shit head on and riposte. It can't be avoided.

Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino personally joins ICE raid at Chicago laundromat—owner locks him out and refuses entry.

"When we saw agents we immediately locked the doors," supervisor said.

"No one was committing a crime. We were just doing laundry... It’s racial profiling.It’s a numbers game."

I volunteered at a refugee center for a year or two and the people I met there were so kind. The older people referred to me as a daughter and often walked or drove me home when I was there past dark. I have never been treated more humanely than by these people who had survived so much inhumanity.
