Turns out fighting fascism helps you live longer Retirees are mobilizing to defend democracyβ€”and the benefits literally show up in their DNA.

Next time you hear someone making fun of grey-haired people protesting, share this.

More women are lost to #LungCancer than to breast, cervical, and ovarian cancer combined. If you have lungs, you can get lung cancer. Learn more about how this disease affects women: LCRF.org/women #LCAM #WomenLC

Sam Balto Has Made Portland’s Bike Buses Famous. Can They Last? The bike bus concept is gaining in popularity, and Portland is now home to about 25 bike buses. This is largely thanks to Sam Balto.

The Bike Bus always puts a smile on my face. It's wonderful to watch the kids become more confident riders as the school year progresses!

Entry into spaces marked PRIVATE required a warrant signed by a judge.

When should you open the door to ICE? It’s all about the warrants. They mist have a warrant SIGNED BY A JUDGE. ICE warrants are usually administrative, meaning they cannot legally force entry into private spaces. Please share www.beluminus.org/warrants/. #ImmigrantRights #ICE

I'm so tired of this nonsense. Does he not realize how disappointed so many people were when Tom Homan declined to meet with Senator Wyden in a town hall format? Does he not realize we are committed to be a Sanctuary City and State? Oh, wait [SMH] -- I forgot. This is a crazy person talking.
