Wtf. PPS changed their fundraising policy to be more equitable. Now, rich white parents from the west side are trying to undo those changes. During a budget crisis. It's gross and an embarrassment.

This whole thread is a bunch of cultural elitism. The assumption that everyone should know a bunch of norms that are learned through exposure - and privilege - and that those who don't follow them are disrespectful does NOT make you a champion of artists and performers. It makes you a gatekeeper.

Just a reminder that the IRS developed free software that was going to be available in every state this year that a majority of taxpayers could use to file taxes alongside their state returns and the regime axed it. You already paid to develop it and they just buried it to profit corporate America.

Most people don't get to file for free. And corruption is part of fascism. Maybe this will help connect the dots for you:

I work with a bunch of leftists who do trail maintenance, clean up public lands, and monitor forest service logging sales. Not having lift kits would mean they could only do 25% to maybe 50% of what they do. But very cool of you to be open to other perspectives.

No. Not even close to the same thing. Just for the tiniest of starters, the people who have to interact with the immigration system - either themselves or on behalf of their clients - are saying *don't* revoke the permit. Just for itty-bittiest of starters. Use your words more carefully.

But relevant to important decisions to be made in City Hall, these two paragraphs from the opinion describe the absolute necessity for emergency legal representation at the ICE facility in Portland. But for a few minutes with an attorney, M-J-M-A would be gone and this case would not exist.
C. M-J-M-A’s Return to Oregon
The next morning in Tacoma, Defendants released M-J-M-A- without explanation and
left her to find her own way back home to Oregon. Id. ¶¶ 19-20. As stated in M-J-M-A-’s
declaration,
. . . [A]n officer called me and told me to get my stuff because I was going to leave.
I thought I was being transferred to another detention center. . . . The officer took
me to another room to change into my original clothes. After I was done, an ICE
officer came to get me and that is when I found out I was being released. She asked
if I had someone to pick me up, and I said no. She said that if I did not have a ride,
they would just leave me alone on the street. This terrified me because I have never
been Tacoma and I did not have a phone or any money with me. Luckily, I was able
to get a ride home with someone else who was visiting a family member at the
detention center that day. I have now returned home but I am still afraid that ICE
will come and arrest me again. They have done it once without a reason, so I fear
they will do it again. I feel it was only luck that I was able to meet with the attorneys
for a few minutes before I was taken from Portland, and that is the only reason I am
here and not deported or in a detention center somewhere else in the country. I
know some of the other people who were detained at the same time as me, have
already been deported or transferred to detention centers in other states.
Id. at ¶¶ 19-21.
