I am tracking every single thing happening at ICE and watching all the footage, I will also be there in person. I am also working with people to be as strategic as possible to protect my community. I will not seek impulsive statements or solutions. If I am quiet, it is not for lack of action.

In recent weeks, both actual ICE presence and rumors of ICE presence have increased dramatically in Oregon. Unverified rumors about ICE cause panic in our communities and can take capacity away from responding to true ICE action. Follow the steps in these slides to verify & report ICE in Oregon.

@bradlander.bsky.social has been regularly doing accompaniments and volunteering as a legal observer. ICE clearly singled him out to punish him for bringing attention to what they are doing. This is political persecution.

A dangerous provision is being considered by the Senate that would prevent states from regulating AI for ten years with no federal alternative. We must tell Congress to oppose this ten year ban on AI regulation immediately.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Hate to say it, but federal agents kidnapping people from the street into unmarked vehicles, no badges, no IDs, happened last time Trump was in office: Portland 2020. When Trump's feds intervened in the racial justice uprising. Abe Asher, now at the Portland Mercury: www.vice.com/en/article/h...

Wilson is just giving PPB license to continue to materially support ICE, under the guise of keeping out the military. Trump will send in troops on his whim, regardless of what Wilson and PPB do. LAPD was actively cooperating with ICE, too./

Stoking fear about immigrants and mass deporting people is a betrayal of our values and a recipe for economic disaster. The real threat workers face is corporate greed. The labor movement is committed to ensuring that all working people are protected.

This is a good thread for everyone. If you want action quickly, under current authority, involving a bureau -> Call the Mayor and it theoretically could happen quickly. If you want policy change, oversight, or things that cost money -> Call your Councilor(s) and it'll (on purpose) take a while.

I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.
