Please come through and show some support! It is needed more than ever as the rhetoric and tactics from the feds continue to escalate. Pull up after the No Kings march or instead of it, whatever works for you! Please share too!

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

"This chaos and violence will end under President Trump. Law and order will prevail."

All this over the Ghostbusters theme?

the representative from PIRC said the agents have made it hard for them to work, they move their table even though they have a permit. they are in need of volunteers here and at the courthouse, especially if you speak spanish

If they’re going to (wrongfully) charge harmless musician Oriana Korol, she will in all likelihood be arraigned today at 1:30 pm before Judge Youlee You on the 12th floor of the federal courthouse at 1000 SW 3rd Avenue in downtown Portland.

"A clarinet player is apparently being held without bail on no specific charges at the Clark County Jail in Vancouver."

It's very strange.

We will be going to Clark county jail tonight to support our band member and the others who are being held there after arrest yesterday.
Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed. There will be music 🙂🎺

Just days after the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza, Sulala Animal Rescue’s dedicated veterinarian, Dr Mu’ath Abu Rakba, has been reported missing, and several members of his family have been killed. 💔

We hold hope in our hearts that he will be found safe and well.

Yesterday ICE brutally beat members of the Unpresidented Brass band and broke their instruments. A clarinetest was dragged away and as far as I've heard is still missing.
