If the punishment for violating a rule/law is a fine, that's just another way of saying: breaking said rule/law is permissable, for a price
Fines only punish those who don't have enough money - for those who do, fines are merely a slap on the wrist
ICE has more than enough money to cover any fines
oooh which one
a carnitas burrito bowl
On Thursday, our heroes completed their main quest: hand out 45 servings of carnitas burrito bowls to unhoused neighbors! Then an unforeseen side quest: search for a lost phone

Very bad news
gotta love explaining sarcasm to people with no critical thinking skills
If it isn't something like this... it's your typical everyday grift and people who wax and wane hoping you've forgotten who they are.
This is happening here in PDX. I feel the same way about rapid response as I do about ICE. Fuckumup folks.
The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.
They won't only be for brown and Black people.
The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.
The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.
a bowl of pasta topped w/shredded parmesan
On Sunday, our volunteers handed out 68 servings of delicious homemade pasta to our unhoused neighbors! The cook sometimes worries their food isn't good enough - everyone else disagrees

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.
Folks who want to abolish ICE ought to feel the same about Portland's Rapid Response Team
Both are weapons of state violence targeting innocent people & violating human rights
Remember: there's a non-zero chance they'll eventually target you and/or people you care about someday

i punched up mayor wilson's quote regarding the ICE protests this weekend to make it more portland-centric
Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.
In Portland, sidewalks are more important than human lives
Rather than lifting people out of poverty, the city repeatedly traumatizes them, steals their possessions, their homes, & forces them out of sight - ensuring continued poverty
The cruelty is the point

welcome to america, the country that makes you watch executions in the street frame by frame a few times a month just to stay up in current events
This supports the idea that the Administration wanted an armed immigrant to murder & then label a "terrorist" -> maybe, but if so then the ICE bumblers got the gun part correct & screwed up by executing Alex Pretti, an upstanding, legally employed white male citizen with a legal firearm. Whoops.
we are no longer citizens of a nation - we are puppets of oligarchs. under-educated, unquestioning consumers, controlled by an ingrained false belief: "if i just work hard enough - sell them my labor, life, & soul - i might someday have a chance to escape the perpetual hell of economic slavery"

wealthy classists' pathological refusal to share & be equitable w/their excess, is the root cause of most of the unnecessary misery in the modern world - of all the social constructs humans have invented, hierarchical structures of social classes have been the most destructive to all of society
5/6
it's class warfare - it's always been class warfare. weaponized discrimination by wealthy/powerful classists refusing to share their excess w/those who have little; instead, they shout, "fuck you! i've got mine!" & leverage that excess to *do whatever it takes* to keep their in-group exclusive
