Tents? Nah they should be executed.
Tents? Nah they should be executed.
We as activists must do a better job training new activists on resisting interrogations. About 90% of the people arrested at ICE went willingly to interrogation instead of refusing and remaining in the cell. We should role play the scenarios. Saying dont talk to cops isn't working.
The folks who run community free store are facing eviction they need to raise $1,800 by tonight
This is such an emergency need please help share
Venmo fruit-platter-500
Please consider sending something their way and helping this family with a young child stay housed
Not gonna lie, living here in WA that has so many deep ties with Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and Boeing makes me think that we as a state need to collectively reckon with our labor propping up such pillars of unchecked power and greed.
A major coalition is launching a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow, aimed at pushing out ICE.
It includes:
-Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005
-The MN AFL-CIO
-SEIU Local 26
-UNITE HERE Local 17
-CWA Local 7250
-Saint Paul and Minneapolis Federations of Educators
-Faith leaders
And more. π§΅
I know people keep saying this but itβs hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, Iβm on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. Itβs wild. Absolutely wild.
This also goes for smaller Signal groups that say they are vetted by someone! If you donβt know every single person in that group personally, consider your communications in that group to be public. Act accordingly and donβt give any sensitive info you wouldnβt want someone unfriendly to read
at first I was like NO WAY, but damn youβre right she really did get hired by ICE

I think weβve possibly hit peak Portland neo-lib now that thereβs a fund set up for an inflatable costume closet. Meanwhile, your neighbors might not get their Nov SNAP benefits and you probably still call the cops on your Black and Brown or houseless neighbors. Over it.
Tomorrow!
***Portland, OR*** TOMORROW!!!
Please check out the Defense Fund PDX street fair! More info in quoted post.
There will also be tee shirts and stickers for sale with this design that I whipped up. 100% of the proceeds are going to the bail fund.
Before and after photo of an ice sculpture that says democracy, placed in front of the White House . The top half of the photo has the sculpture partially melted missing the half of the second C. The bottom half is the sculpture is where the sculpture is mostly melted leaving only a thin D, the first C, A and Y visible.
A performance by people who think this is a protest.
By the same people who think these precedented times are unprecedented.
For people who do not know that marching with signs is an obsolete tactic.
If your actions can just be ignored, itβs ineffective.

piper viewed me as a victim and the second I corrected her she lashed out at me and shamed me for my body so like, yeah, cool feminist shit I guess
i urge you, if you have been entertaining piper's version of the story, where it was really all the survivor's friends and supporters being evil masterminds and "influencing" the survivor into making allegations against piper, to please read the survivor's own words on the matter.
(edited)
@/yourfriendpiper abused me. I didn't want to talk about it, but she won't stop, so here's my account
If you look at this on desktop CW for flashing lights and music
DON'T SHOOT PDX shared a vid on insta of a dozen pigs going full "lemme see your hands" and aiming their guns at a group of five children at the Holladay MAX stop. They've been super active in Lloyd all weekend to stroke their egos cuz they failed to break up the takeovers on Saturday.
Wild that the "underfunded" and "understaffed" Portland Police Bureau is able to send eight patrol vehicles and dozens of officers to harrass kids doing donuts. 300 million a year for an under 10% clearance rate, but don't drift your car or Joe Beatshiswife from Battleground will fuck you up.
And now there's like 15 Portland Police officers aiming guns at children and yelling conflicting orders from 30 feet away. Truly such a pathetic and cowardly police force. Giving the Uvalde Police Department a run for their money.
the following is posted with the consent of piperβs survivor.
hereβs a fairly simple principle. If Party A says Party B is abusing Party C, and Party B says the oppositeβthat itβs actually Party A abusing Party Cβyou know who is best positioned to know the truth? PARTY C.

On October 27th 2024 I cut Piper Smith or @yourfriendpiper off. This was after witnessing a number of behaviors which I viewed as both dangerous and abusive. Including lying, manipulating, triangulated, sharing non safety related signal screenshots, context collapsing, and many others.
White people say crime is the problem even when crime rates are low. Theyβre really just using the word βcrimeβ to garner public support for over policing of black communities.
One of the biggest failures of 2020 is how we all let a bunch of upper middle class white losers gain followings, control, and insider access to local activist scenes bc they posted really hard about theoretically caring about black people being executed in the streets online
Just gonna say that if you see someone in your white majority activist spaces constantly beefing with the handful of people of color within and trying to paint us all as a threat to safety, while tokenizing our literature to posture during arguments, you should raise an eyebrow and ask questions
Because for every abuser who does legitimately have BPD or bipolar or autism there are hundreds if not thousands of other people out there right now with that same diagnosis and same or similar symptom profile, but lacking the key ingredient: entitlement
