Thank you for reminding us about the importance of feeding people. Amidst all the overwhelm it helps to be able to pick one thing to do.

I really hope an editor pays Lisa to write this thread up. itโ€™s a great example of how academic work contributes to movement work. @bostonreview.bsky.social? @therumpus.net?

One of the most valuable takeaways from the training is that social media and spreading rumors about ICE only stokes more fear and chaos for those most impacted. The best thing you can do is if you are an eyewitness you call the hotline and you film video to be shared w PIRC directly.

There is sooooo much else to criticize that directly harms people.

Purple background with yellow text that says we keep each other safe. Report suspected federal agent sightings to the Portland immigrant rights coalition hotline (1-888โ€“6 22โ€“1510) instead of spreading rumors on social media. Check in with your neighbors: can you help buy groceries if they donโ€™t feel safe leaving the house? Make sure you have a password on your phone instead of Face ID or fingerprint ID. If you choose to demonstrate share your location with a loved one.

Despite all the jokes about Portland being war ravaged, there are members of our community who are quite vulnerable. Letโ€™s step up to protect them where we can. This is from one of our city councilors @counciloravalos.bsky.social

My kid canโ€™t imagine phones attached to walls, phones that didnโ€™t have music on them.

The crowd sizes, especially in small towns, are cheering me up a bit too.

queerness, as a liberatory politics and not just another vague personal label, must involve thinking, speaking, and acting against ICE, against the police, against the carceral + imperial state and its networks across the globe, against the violence of borders. happy pride!
