A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

This post is doing big numbers but it’s worth noting this is *print* subscribers, which puts a totally different context on this.

(Last year during their cancellation kerfuffle they had about 2.5 million total subscriptions. The NYTimes has ~11 million total)

The news about lead in pea protein makes me wonder if the cause of the increased heart disease in “grain free formula” dog foods (which rely on pea protein) is lead related.

It is highly irresponsible to refer to tear gas as “mustard gas”. They are unrelated and very different things.

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.
