A Love Letter...

please share widely.

#Love #resist #abolishDHS #FightOn #OccupyICE #NoFascistUSA A manifesto: We act to love this world... long block of text.
It’s another beautiful day at #occupyICEPDX

#abolishICE #abolishDHS
Happy punk dance party to ICE ICE Baby!

#occupyICEPDX #abolishICE #abolishDHS
Another arrest. Zip tied wrists and feet. Carried out.

#occupyICEpdx
Less than lethals (that still injure & sometimes kill).
#occupyICEPDX
Activist walking back and forth in front of DHS riot line, playing recording of caged immigrant children crying.

#occupyICEPDX #abolishICE #abolishDHS
Blessed be anarchist antifascist organizing. Despite a DHS raid, breakfast is still being served. Pancakes and eggs.

#OccupyICEPDX
“We are the fire that will melt ICE.” Main camp still holds fast.

#OccupyICEPDX
@tedwheeler & @ChloeEudalyPDX, we were assured at yesterday’s city council meeting that PPD would not help DHS. Yet they are blocking roads to aid this raid. And are local jails receiving the arrestees?

#OccupyICEPDX
Portlanders, please call @tedwheeler and insist he keep his promise about PPD noncompliance with DHS and ICE. Blocking roads & jailing arrestees is compliance.

#OccupyICEPDX
Coffee, not cops.

#OccupyICEPDX
I’ve got the co-working space set up at Bancroft & Moody. Come down. There’s coffee.

#OccupyICEPDX #AbolishICE #abolishDHS
Announcement that this is Portland —not federal— property.

Chants, “whose streets, our streets!”

“I could be your son! I could be your daughter! You look like my mom, you look like my father!”

#OccupyICEPDX #MultnomahLand
Just called a Lyft for an immigrant family with two children who showed up to report in. The mother says they were held in cages.

#OccupyICEPDX #AbolishICE #abolishDHS
An undocumented activist is speaking. “Once you lose the fear, nothing else can happen to you.”

#chingalamigra #occupyicepdx
She speaks to her activism, and getting threatened with deportation. We are privileged here at #OccupyICEPDX. Use your privilege.

#OccupyICEPDX
“May we know Peace, while we make it.”
#occupyICEpdx
I quoted the Odyssey and the Havamal on welcoming the stranger. Together, we chanted Invoke Compassion, Manifest Justice.

#somoteitbe #OccupyICEPDX
“No hate! No fear! Immigrants are welcome here!”

#OccupyICEPDX #abolishice
Queers against ICE.

#OccupyICEPDX #AbolishICE
More middle aged white people have shown up, so I’m tapping out for substantial protein & to finish my work.

#OccupyICEPDX #AbolishICE #abolishDHS #EndFamilyDetention
Stay safe.
Stay strong.
Stay in love.

Please read all 4 of these screenshots from Tiana Smalls.

I’ll follow w a thread of a similar experience:

#Resist #Solidarity
Solidarity & resistance can be simple, folks. But it does take speaking up, which I know can feel hard.

I’ve done this myself in various situations. One in particular stands out:
Police came on a BART train I was on and were going to take a man away (he was Black and developmentally disabled). He was terrified and started reciting a phone number, asking someone to please call his mother who would worry when he didn’t show up.
