A devastating story has come out about a US citizen child, Orlin, who was murdered after ICE deported his mom. This tragedy is an abject failure by ICE, and it’s why I will not give them another cent. We must stop the cruelty and lawlessness of this administration.

At the first preview of The Lost Boys. It's sure something. After a nearly two hour 1st act, We paused for a set malfunction. I was in the last row of the balcony and I could only see about 2/3 of the stage. Show ended at around 11:20. Live theater, I love you so.

Also, the "No a la guerra" sign has a story of its own: it is the design popularized in the protests against the Irak war in Spain in 2003, which was also worn by many artists (Bardem included) in the gala for that year's Goya Awards (Spain's main movie awards).

DESPITE THOUSANDS of letters from community members, demands from our local elected officials and community board, and protests at Chelsea Piers, the Hudson River Park Trust has refused to end their collaboration with ICE, allowing them to continue to park at Pier 40.
Let's show up in person and send a strong message to the Hudson River Park Advisory Council outside of Pier 57 where they will be meeting!
Spring is coming. Thousands of kids and families will soon play soccer, baseball, and enjoy the park at Pier 40. Meanwhile, the Hudson River Park Trust is providing a "safe haven" there for ICE vehicles.

🚨 Update — Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim (16), the Palestinian-American child detained in Israeli torture camp:

A judge was reportedly preparing to give him two years in prison, but his family replaced his lawyer, who requested a delay to negotiate a deal. The lawyer meets the prosecutor Thursday; the next hearing is Dec 15. (via Jasper Nathaniel)

Mohammed has been jailed since February on stone-throwing charges.

@infinite_jaz
Judge was reportedly planning to sentence Mohammed to two years. His family brought in a new lawyer, who requested the delay to negotiate a deal instead of accepting that absurd punishment. The lawyer meets the prosecutor Thursday, with the next hearing Dec 15. U.S. pressure is critical now. Links below.

This heartfelt and meaningful statement by Portland resident and author Cristina Breshears on another social media platform bears reposting here. I don't think the intent is to idealize Portland but to remind all of us what is important and why. (Posted here with permission.)

For nine nights now, the steady thrum of Black Hawk helicopters has circled over Portland. The sound is constant, invasive; a low mechanical beating above our homes. It’s expensive. It’s intimidating. And it’s unnecessary.

Our protests have been largely peaceful. There is no insurrection here. Yet this federalized military presence makes us feel like we are living in a war zone (the very kind of chaos this administration claims to be protecting us from).

The irony is painful: it is only this occupation that makes Portland feel unsafe.

Each hour of helicopter flight costs taxpayers between $2,000 and $4,000, depending on crew, fuel, and maintenance. Multiply that by multiple aircraft over multiple nights, and you’re looking at hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars burned into the sky.

Meanwhile, the Woodstock Food Pantry at All Saints Episcopal Church — which feeds working families, elders, and people with disabilities — has seen its federal funding slashed by 75%. How can we justify pouring public money into intimidation while cutting aid to those who simply need to eat?

This is waste, fraud, and abuse in plain sight:
* Waste of public resources on military theatrics.
* Fraud in the name of “public safety.”
* Abuse of the communities that federal agencies claim to protect.

Portland is a Sanctuary City. A sanctuary city is not a fortress. It’s a promise — a living vow that a community will protect the dignity and safety of everyone who calls it home. It means that local governments and ordinary people alike will refuse to criminalize survival. That schools, clinics, churches, and shelters will remain safe spaces no matter who you are or where you were born. But the term reaches far beyond policy. It’s an ethic of belonging; a refusal to criminalize need, difference, or desperation.

Sanctuary isn’t weakness. It’s courage. It takes moral strength to meet suffering with care instead of punishment, to believe that our neighbors’ safety is bound up in our own, to insist that safety is not achieved through force but through community, inclusion, and trust. It is living Matthew 25:40 out loud and in deed. It is an act of moral imagination and moral defiance. To hold sanctuary is to say: you belong here.

When we hold space for the most vulnerable — refugees, the unhoused, the undocumented, the disabled, the working poor, the displaced — we become something larger than a collection of individuals. We become a moral body. We do more than offer charity. We offer witness. We declare that the measure of a nation is found not in its towers or tanks, but in its tenderness.

Sanctuary cities are not lawless; they are soulful. They represent the conscience of the nation, a place where the laws of empathy still apply. To make sanctuary is to affirm that the United States is not merely a geographic territory, but a moral experiment: a republic that must constantly choose between fear and compassion, between domination and democracy.

A nation’s soul is measured not by the might of its military, but by the mercy of its people. When helicopters circle our skies in the name of order, while food pantries struggle to feed the hungry, we are forced to ask: What are we defending, and from whom? The soul of a nation survives only when we make sanctuary for one another. Not through walls or weapons, but through compassion and collective will. If we allow intimidation to replace compassion, we will have traded our conscience for control.

Please know that despite the hum of war machines overhead, the conscience of our city — whimsical, creative, stubbornly kind — can still be heard.

Portland is not the problem. Portland is the reminder. A reminder that a city can still choose to be sanctuary. That a people can still choose to be human.

23-year-old journalist Plestia Alaqad, like many Gazans, lost her home in the first days after October 7. unable to reenter her homeland, stuck watching the horror continue, she’s publishing her diaries from reporting on the ground. full interview @teenvogue.com www.teenvogue.com/story/plesti...

Pic of Plestia Alaqad overlaid with text from interview: Plestia Alaqad: I can't believe that it's almost — [she pauses] no, it's not almost, it's actually two years. Okay, I can't believe that it's been two years of this ongoing genocide. When I was reporting in Gaza for 45 days, these 45 days felt like 45 years. And now it's 200 days feeling like 200 years for the people who are actually still on the ground facing bombing, displacement and starvation, which is being used as a method by Israel. Israel is literally ethnically cleansing people in Gaza, and we're watching a genocide unfold live on TV.
