So powerful. A good tool for talking with your people who are pro-ICE or on the fence, combining messages, images & research that portray immigrants as humans worthy of care and speak to the material interests of taxpayers. A one-two punch at ICE's racist violence, lies, and waste www.icecostsus.com

ICE Costs US
ICE’s 2026 budget increased by 400%. 17 million people are about to lose their health care. We’re paying for ICE’s violence while being denied the resources we need to live.

MAGAs are so racist they made up a lie to scare Americans about Obama being a socialist and secret Muslim born in Kenya—and karma responded by electing a Ugandan born Muslim and proud democratic socialist to mayor of New York City.😅

Oh FFS. A tremendous waste of public resources with the intent of terrorizing the public, succeeding in displacing a summer camp for kids. (I’m in downtown LA, 1.5 miles away, everything normal.)

If you think the white Union busting billionaire from apartheid South Africa is for working people but the working class assemblyman from Uganda is an elitist then its not economic justice you’re protecting its white supremacy.

This is ICE. Tearing apart families. Terrorizing children. Militarizing our neighborhoods. Spending untold millions on cruelty to distract people from billionaires’ crimes. And all the while, covering their cowardly faces.

“We needed to create a stir to get some change, to get them [city council] to fund us back up. And I mean, that’s the honest truth. I know, that could make things more dangerous. I don’t know. But at the same time, we needed some change.” Incredible reporting from @bikeportland.org

Watch out for this guy. During a protest in #Portland #PearlDistrict yesterday, he told me the music was too loud. I started to acknowledge the inconvenience, but then he said "if you don't stop, I will come back with a gun." I said that was inappropriate. He hit my hand with his cane.

Portlanders, the New Seasons Labor Union has been asking people boycott the store since their strike at Thanksgiving. And now it seems mgt has fired a union leader at the Arbor Lodge store on a pretext. Please, DO NOT SHOP AT NEW SEASONS until the workers have a fair contract. Just don't.

BREAKING: Acting FBI director confirms DOJ has ordered him to fire 8 FBI executives & share the names of every employee who worked on the January 6th insurrection cases. What a world when the Nazi who wore the "Camp Auschwitz" shirt is pardoned & the people who convicted him are punished. Horrific.

“Donald Trump nominated a man to be AG, that the House Ethics Committee determined statutory rapist … GOP Speaker Johnson tried to cover it up and whitewash statutory rape… this is a microcosm of the corruption [we] will see from the GOP and the Trump administration over these next four years.”
