Apologies folks: videos are gonna be delayed today. I had a community organizing meeting this morning and I got invited to a local community group this afternoon and I think it's important that I prioritize that over work for a few hours. I will definitely have videos out, but they will be late. Likely after 4pm.

Here's a picture of me finishing the pocket seams of a skirt by flashlight at 1 AM because the algorithm prefers pictures.

Kid Rock did a copyright strike on my video about the TPUSA halftime show and how Kid Rock doesn't match their branding of "faith, family and freedom" but he does match the MAGA branding of PDF File protectors.

Obviously, I've contested the strike bc it's absolutely transformative fair use and allowable under copyright law. But for now, the vid has been demonetized. If you enjoy this vid, please consider donating to RAINN.org

I am working on a video about the Epstein files, and I am having an increasing number of serious concerns.

I would love to know what your concerns are around this latest dump of files, the lack of an investigation, and the way that this story (or 3.5 million stories) is being reported on?

Ruth and I are planning to go LIVE at 8 PM Pacific. Please drop your questions in the comments and I will do my best to get to them during the LIVE. Thank you.

(Also here is a delightful image of some folks walking their cats at Powell Butte today. I love Portland so much).

Running a little bit behind this morning because I just got home from a rapid response call for a possible Gestapo/slave catcher sighting. All clear now, and so grateful this community is doing everything we can to look out for each other and keep each other safe.

Ok, slight change of plans. My apologizes, but I don't think I will get to those other two videos tonight. The 14 yr-old needs help with homework and I anticipate I'll be sound asleep by 9. I'll try to catch up tomorrow. Thanks for understanding. ❤️❤️❤️

Pace yourselves, folks! This is a marathon, not a sprint!

I hope that you all are holding up well today. I spent much of the day doing very necessary garden work. I have a few videos I'd like to film this evening, but I'm trying to set aside some time for myself every day to read: to build my skills and expand my knowledge.

I want to encourage you that taking time to get educated, to learn history - especially the history of resistance movements in the United States and abroad - and grow your skills, learn strategies and tactics, as well as taking the time to shore up your mental health and nonviolent discipline is time incredibly well-spent right now. Taking that time for yourself is not only self-care, it is necessary resistance work that will benefit everybody in your community.

If you need encouragement and help orienting your hope, strengthening your mindset, and gaining perspective, may I recommend any book by Rebecca Solnit? I do believe she is one of the most powerful writers of our time. Her words are a lifeline for me. I just started A Paradise Built in Hell. I'm going to read a few chapters and then I will sit down to film. Take care.

Good afternoon. I have several pieces of positive news to share this evening, as well as some really important Oregon news the media isn't covering. If I have time before it gets too late, I also want to share some more civil resistance skills.

I hope you are enjoying your Sunday. I will be back in this space with some videos a little bit later today.

Hallo! Ruth and I are home from a long hike in the rain (we went farther than we meant to!).

Swung by the Supermercado on 174th and Division for carnitas tacos for dinner (it's a super good deal). Also... we maybe possibly got way too many pastries bc we were shopping hungry. Now is a great time to shop immigrant-owned businesses and give them our financial support and show solidarity.

Ok, I have a few more videos to film tonight, but first: tacos!

Hi, folks. I wanted to say thank you for everybody who joined me on a live late in the evening yesterday to discuss my congresswoman listening session with a few dozen of us in East Multnomah County.

I hope that I didn't stumble over my words too much and that folks got something out of the LIVE. I was mid-migraine and I think it was probably quite obvious. Having a mostly-invisible chronic condition and working a very public-facing job, I try to be very open about it and normalize "Hey, we need be perfect, presentable, at our best to hold the line for democracy." But at the same time I don't want anybody to think that I am normalizing pushing ourselves too hard or not resting or engaging in self-care. I'm trying to strike that balance. People with invisible disabilities and conditions are everywhere in the resistance and I try to be unapologetic about being one of them. We are all in this together and we have to take care of each other and ourselves. It's a marathon not a sprint.

I have a series of videos coming out later in the day. Lots of heavy news but also some really really good news to share. I also want to move back into more skill-building and strategy talk. I think we are in a period of rapid education, which is a way that we build our muscle and build a resistance, and I want to help contribute to that more.

Thanks, as always, for your kind comments both to me and to each other in the chat and my comments' section. I appreciate so much how we build each other up and sometimes your comment positively impacts so many people you'll never meet, so thank you for being willing to extend kindness to strangers.

Let's also take time to remember those people the regime has killed, and work to honor them as we continue to organize.
