A few people speak before the protest commences. The crowd is so large, it’s difficult to hear everything. This one is clear: When Portland is under attack, what do we do? Stand up; fight back!

Organizers of the Emergency World Naked Bike Ride plan to hold the protest despite a steady rain forecast, saying:

“It's going to be very very wet. Our numbers will be lower but a slight bit of discomfort for us is nothing.

Mali has announced that US nationals visiting the West African country will be required to post a bond of up to $10,000 (£7,500) for business and tourist visas, in response to a similar requirement the Trump administration has imposed on its citizens.

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.
Tweet by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick: “Border Patrol reportedly shot a dog and then the agent fled rather than deal with any kind of accountability whatsoever.” Below is Keith Edwards’ tweet: “BREAKING: A family in El Paso says ICE shot and killed their dog, Chop. The agent who fired reportedly ran as the family screamed for help. No one came.” Photo of a large black and brown Rottweiler sitting calmly on a tiled floor next to a white chair and a window with blinds. A black-background screenshot of text describing an incident: the sender says no Border Patrol agents rendered aid after their dog was shot, and that the responsible agent fled the scene with help from others. They emphasize that the agent’s name was never released and that their family lost a member “for no lawful reason.”

Vought’s daughter has cerebral palsy, and while she may not require “special” education, she would need adjustments if she attended any school.

Obviously, he is evil and does not care about hypocrisy, but I want people to remember: they’re taking this away from US, not themselves.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.
