For the first time in days, a large crowd has formed outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in South Portland on Sunday afternoon. https://www.koin.com/news/portland/hundreds-protest-in-a-sing-resistance-outside-ice-facility-days-after-court-ruling/?cid=bluesky_
Only Oregon Dem to vote for the Laken Riley Act — a law that lets ICE detain people on accusation, before any conviction.
Just months later, Frank Miranda, a U.S. citizen from #Milwaukie, got thrown in an unmarked van by masked agents and held at Portland's ICE facility for hours.

“She was hired in 1919 by Chicago Cubs president William Veeck as a stenographer and eventually became corporate secretary in 1926 and vice president in 1950. During her 40-year career she introduced innovations such as season tickets, off-site ticket sales, and reduced ticket prices for children.“
A large green Chicago waste bin sits in front of a metal historical plaque for Margaret Donahue Park. Sunlight flares over the top edge of the bin, partially washing out the plaque behind it, while bare trees and a colorful mural are faintly visible in the background. The bronze plaque titled “Margaret Donahue Park.” The text explains that Margaret Donahue (1892–1978) was one of the first women executives in Major League Baseball. She was hired in 1919 by Chicago Cubs president William Veeck as a stenographer and eventually became corporate secretary in 1926 and vice president in 1950. During her 40-year career she introduced innovations such as season tickets, off-site ticket sales, and reduced ticket prices for children. After her retirement in 1958, Illinois governor Phil K. Wrigley issued a proclamation recognizing her as a nationally acknowledged authority on baseball.
Happy International Women’s Day.
Here’s a plaque, honoring a pretty incredible accomplishment by a woman, unceremoniously hidden behind some trash cans:
Margaret Donahue (1892–1978) was one of the first women executives in Major League Baseball.
Michelle Obama.
Many others…
True that.
Except Jimmy Carter was a smart, fine man who made serious strides toward peace, combating climate change and promoting decency.
Reagan set up the “hostage crisis” to win an election, and, despite seeming affable, was a terrible president, sowed seeds of the worst troubles still here.
It is so not in stable hands.
All the crazy is to deflect away from the Epstein revelations that are horrific now. There’s more 😱😱😱
Hoping the midterms will initiate a change of government…

Ed better be awesome!
Yes, it was! Double is not nothing.
Gas lines, only available every other day, based on 2 digits from your drivers license. So expensive! (From maybe 35 cents to 65 cents)…

Apart from how ludicrous it is to think the speech will be good - Trump is also a rapist who has caused many deaths. It's also ludicrous to think any speech could redeem that.
If that’s not murder, we‘re doing it wrong.
This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:
I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil
it’s also all related. the men who traffic children with impunity are the same ones who start wars, bomb schools, support genocide, ignore laws, shirk taxes, beat their wives and children, and steal every dollar they can from the people. it’s all an expression of the same belief: no one else matters
Sheesh.
The truths that we hold to be self-evident seem to
utterly pass them by…
"llms can write social science articles better than professors now" BITCH I DONT CARE. i literally do not care because the point of people having fucking thoughts and doing research is PEOPLE HAVING THOUGHTS AND DOING RESEARCH. the point of the work is DOING THE FUCKING WORK.
a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people
whether war, vaccines, or critical infrastructure there is contingent of the right that seems to believe that their security from the worst things that happen is some kind of metaphysical principle rather than the result of specific historical processes that could've gone otherwise and still could
The time honored conservative axiom "anything I've never personally experienced is fake," applied not just to gender identities, sexualities and non-evangelical religious principles but the very idea of consequences
Never, ever determine your morality by what the law says. We do what is right because it is right and then we make what is right, legal.
Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.
I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.
Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.
So remember when I said that palantir's "neurodivergent fellowship" was bullshit (www.motherjones.com/politics/202...)? Yeah it was bullshit.

Yesterday, we revealed the existence of nine ICE detention facilities, called "hold rooms," around the state. This afternoon, we visited one of those facilities with Rep. @mannyrutinel.bsky.social
NEW: At least nine secretive ICE detention facilities are scattered around the state, tucked into strip malls and industrial parks. More than 3,000 people were held in them last year, including a 1-year-old girl.
