Building the ship as we sail it. We try things. Some work, some don't. That's effective civil resistance. Heck, that's just life.

Welp, it's a been a few weeks, but I have a new Substack up.

I know some people use some stack like BlueSky, some like a blog, some to repost everything, and I really wanna figure out how to use this platform better. I welcome any feedback.

A news article displays a photo of a person in a dark face covering and blue jeans being led away by two heavily armored officers in tactical gear, one wearing a gas mask, on a city street. The article's headline reads: "ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They're Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises," with the photo caption stating "ICE in action in Portland."

Employees of a system built on exploitation did not expect to be included in the exploitation.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was β€œinvolved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

This captured the dignity and bravery I witness in Portlanders every day. Started tearing up reading it. From kids to elderly people, everyone showed bravery and a discipline to look out for their neighbors that day.

I love the people of this city so much.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.

Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

I have been receiving reports and evidence of First Nations people being racially targeted, assaulted, and detained by the federal agency Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). We want to remind our members to be safe and proactive by carrying with you at a minimum your tribal identification cards or a copy of your degree of Indian Blood. Our tribal identification affirms our citizenship and political status.
Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands. Any federal activity within our boundaries must recognize and respect our tribal sovereignty, treaty obligations, and established jurisdictional boundaries.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

β€œOur Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Cat paw print in a red brick wall.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

The most openly racist, eugenicist monsters are running the U.S. They will use every opportunity to advance their agenda.

And as the wheels come off their regime they will only grow more brutal and obscene. These are dangerous days for us all.
