The best story ICE could make up, after 12 hours, is that ICE agents shot someone in the head because they believed the person they shot, who was not accused of any crime, was a different person also not accused of any crime, and so "public safety" required killing them on the spot.

Took 6 months of wrangling between installation (just under the wire for IRA incentives) and PGE final inspection, but we finally got our solar panels connected. Huzzah!

NoKings yesterday was inspiring, energizing, and fun. Now let’s turn that energy into action for a huge progressive blue wave in Nov (to swamp any elections shenanigans). Post in the replies what you’re doing with your time and money to make that happen. I’ll start with 2 great orgs I’m supporting

Boycott/disruption of Hilton this weekend (action should be called “Heil Hilton”) Book a room, cancel just before free cancellation expires. Ideally, cancel over the phone and tell them, "I no longer want to stay at Hilton hotel after the corporate office doubled down on housing ICE agents."

Encouraging. I mean, one hopes the American public doesn’t like having their neighbors abducted and their fellow citizens shot dead, but given what else it seems to tolerate of late (Jan 6, anyone?), I still find this encouraging

Before I even got home from a protest over the shooting of Renee Good, I was hearing reports of CBP shooting two in Portland OR. FFS. Stay safe out there people, keep It peaceful but make some noise cuz this shit is unacceptable

A friendly reminder that no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty in a hostile incident. Being an elementary schoolchild in America is far more deadly and dangerous than being an ICE officer.

I’m learning a ton at COP30, but my most systematic research is on the ice cream at Sorveteria Cairu — famous for their local tropical fruit flavors. Preliminary results: cupuaçu and chocolate is a better combo than açaí and chocolate, though both were delish. #ResearchPriorities

Naked bike ride in cold rainy October is what we political scientists call a “costly signal” of resistance (the normal, if you can call it that! one is in the summer) And what we Portlanders call “keepin it weird, keepin it real, keepin it real weird”

It was just block after block of people coming from Malcolm X Park headed downtown. Lots of energy despite the heat, and cheers from passersby, as well as church bells ringing in support.

This drives me crazy as a stance towards Israel these days is really quite unrelated to attitudes towards Jews. We have anti-semites who are big fans and there are plenty of Jews and allies who are critics. A stance towards a government and its policies is just that.

If there’s a boycott, I hope it’s strategic. The BoT and uni admin won’t know/care if you don’t give a talk, co-author, or write a tenure letter. They clearly care only about the financial health of the uni not its reputation. Boycott donations or tuition. And/or support StandTogetherForHigherEd
