A beautiful memorial in honor of those harmed by ICE has been at the trolley stop near the ICE building in Portland for over 5 months
It has survived sweeps, people have defended it from the cops and feds

I feel like the fractures we are seeing in the MAGA coalition have some people hoping the status quo will simply make a roaring comeback, and judicial consequences will simply engulf all of the bad guys. There's really no precedent that supports that expectation.

One other notable thing here: Northwestern said a few months ago it would fund own research through the end of the year, but remained unclear about what would happen at the start of 2026
Today is Nov. 28 and funding will be restored within 30 days…have to imagine the timing was intentional

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

When police accuse protesters of being "professional agitators," remember—
Police are unscrupulous mercenaries who assault anyone they are ordered to in return for a paycheck.
Protesters who stand up to police are doing so for free, at tremendous risk to themselves, as a service to the public.
