Someone told me today that the Penumbra-Kelly building used to be a Safeway. Are there other former Safeways that became Dangerways?

Pretty much every Portlander has been tear-gassed by Feds or the Portland Police or both in the past decade. Spicy air won’t stop us.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Citing fear of ICE, pregnant immigrants in Minnesota are
-skipping prenatal care
-requesting home births, even when not medically advised

Many are experiencing complications providers say can be stress-onset: diabetes, high blood pressure, and even water breaking early

Fear of ICE is keeping pregnant immigrants in Minnesota from critical care
Health care providers in Minnesota said pregnant patients are having more complications linked to stress. But fear of immigration agents is keeping them from prenatal care.
