It was wet. It was cold. Everyone was having fun.

Thousands of Portlanders showed up to say they are unafraid — by making themselves as vulnerable as possible.

Many fully or partially naked, all of them astride bicycles, the crowd swelled like a sponge in the pouring rain.

I can sincerely appreciate that #47 freed the hostages, while also believing that he’s a rapist, pedophile and dictator who is responsible for our country’s destruction.

Julie Parrish is at it again, publicly dissing Portland. She’s even tagging Ngo and Daviscourt — who’s a J6er — in her posts. Doesn’t Kell, Alterman & Runstein have a social media policy? Her Tweets could easily alienate clients and damage the firm’s reputation.

On Oct. 5, a Portland ambulance crew reported ICE officers were blocking them from taking a patient to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center. Six minutes later, medics said that ICE was still impeding its departure. www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Ongoing protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement policies took a two-wheeled turn in Portland today, when hundreds of people — some fully or partially nude — gathered for what organizers dubbed an Emergency World Naked Bike Ride.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

So that makes at least 4 J6ers creeping on PDX ICE protests.

Fulfer, David Medina, Katie Daviscourt & Quincey Franklin.

It's been surreal watching them all code switch to calling anti-ICE protestors "insurrectionists" as soon as they realized it was the magic police state button.

Far-right asshole Josh Fulfer, who called for vehicular assaults on Portland protestors, has come up from California & is filming on the ground tonight.

"At heat indexes of 110°F or higher, for example, the risk of injury increased 22% in states without occupational heat rules. But the risk increased by only 9% in five states that had workplace heat rules in 2023 (CA, CO, MN, OR, WA).#workerrights #labor kansasreflector.com/2025/10/12/r...

Hotter temperatures mean more workplace injuries, study finds • Kansas Reflector

With hotter temperatures come more heat-related workplace injuries — about 28,000 injuries each year, according to a new study published Monday in the journal Environmental Health.

‼️ Read @kevinhfoster.bsky.social's posts from last night and note how the protest in front of ICE had been peaceful, with little to no interaction with feds, until the right-wing propagandists and influencers showed up.

Kevin Foster @kevinhfoster.bsky.social · 1d

A crowd of right-wing agitators just stormed through chanting “Whose streets? Our streets.” A woman appears to have been shoved to the ground (hear clothes were dirty and hand had a small cut). A right-wing man may have been punched.
