The American Civil Liberties Union has a link to submit potential cases. As people face abuse from federal agents while exercising their first amendment rights, this is where I would recommend people send information.

Today, OFNHP members went on strike after Kaiser’s refusal to agree to a contract that addresses concerns about proposals that would weaken care, shortchange staffing, and drive skilled healthcare workers away.

Stand in solidarity with Kaiser workers here: form.jotform.com/251634890806...

What a week of solidarity! ✊

Nurses from around the globe met in San Francisco to discuss the rise of authoritarianism & corporate wealth — and how workers have the power to stand up, fight back, and create a world that centers nurses' values of compassion, justice & care.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

“If you’re going to make it silly and say that we’re evil, we’re going to make it silly by showing how evil you are,” said Brooks Brown, of Vancouver, Washington, who passed out 30 inflatable costumes Thursday night to anyone who wanted to get it on “Operation Inflation.”

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, *but* we have an opportunity to make a least one thing less stupid and dangerous.

Please submit a comment to the PDX city planners asking them to prevent any further expansion of liquid fuel storage at the CEI Hub and mandate a fuel drawdown.

It’s important to remember that Zenith’s air permit is not simply the result of some neutral administrative processes and an “aw shucks that’s just how the law is” situation.

Zenith has been the beneficiary of *repeated* political interventions, including most recently, Mayor Wilson.

emily @soupmuse.bsky.social · 3d

Reminder Mayor Wilson rushed to approve Zenith’s land compatibility at the start of his tenure over the objections of Councilors Green and Morillo.

Whether the fuel is so-called “renewable” or not will make very little difference in a liquefaction zone when the river is on fire.
