Oregon leaders remain concerned for Gresham family detained in Texas Immigration officers arrested the Crespo-Gonzalez family at Portland Adventist Health last month, as the family sought care for their 7-year-old daughter.

“The 7-year-old Gresham girl who was detained on her way to see the doctor last month is only eating bread with mayonnaise and her family has to purchase water because the water provided at the Texas detention center where they’re being held is undrinkable.”

a sudden powerful longing for these pencils full of little stones they had in the Boston museum of science.

I dunno man, anything’s possible I guess.

Just saw someone use the word ‘kompromat.’ Our long 2016 marches on

Here’s a post city councilors can’t interact with 👆

This feels Joe brainard-ey to me

If you as a public figure ever find yourself endorsed by a police union, I think it’s probably time to rethink things*

*ie which woodchipper you’re going to throw yourself into

My 14 year old and hundreds of other kids were among those tear gassed by ICE yesterday in Portland.

Today was a triumph for Portland’s working class and our shared struggle to get ICE out of our community. Thousands of Portland workers, mobilized by their unions in conjunction with Portland DSA and Portland Jobs with Justice, rallied and marched today in direct opposition to the federal government’s racist campaign of terror against immigrants in Portland. At the same time, we are outraged — but not surprised — at the federal government’s response to our unity: Without provocation, federal officers attacked thousands of union members, families with children, and community members with chemical agents, some shooting down from the top of the ICE building. Here’s what is clear: The federal government fears organized workers. From the streets to the workplace, we will fight ICE. They know we have a unique power to defend immigrants, defend workers, and defend Portland. ICE out of Portland!

Our statement on today's Labor Says ICE OUT rally and the brutal gassing of unionists, families and children by federal forces.

Thousands of union members staged a nonviolent march today. iCE gassed the crowd of nurses and teaches. The neighborhood is in a cloud. Flash bangs are being fired.

I was home sick but yeah they’re fine, fear aside.

Exactly. We and the cops alike know when a planned action is a big safe family parade. The bloodthirst it takes to fire into that…

A judge had to issue a court order to ensure ICE provided seizure medication to a detainee, and that detainee still didn’t get their medication.

ICE enforcement is a disability justice issue.

They’re a eugenicist movement.

They want the “sick and weak” to die:

all that poor child wanted to do is show support for her friends and neighbors threatened by fascists and they tear gassed her for it

> dozens of unions show up with their families after hearing rousing militant labor speeches.

> the regime gasses their children

I saw it too:

An SEIU member describes getting gassed #Portland #ICEout

Oh there are children and gentle people sauntering with hands in pockets on a stroll to show solidarity? Better light them the fuck up!

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Shout out to the ice officers in Portland for trying to tear gas my seven year old today.
Big brave boys! Warfighters!
