@kurt@nelson.funJust cancelled my Ireland trip for this week because it's going to be 50 and pouring rain, and it's not even Christmas. I need sun.
Last minute Amtrak recs? I might Zephyr again? Coast starlight north to somewhere random in NorCal, then Portland, and fly back?
@hex@kolektiva.socialPolice coordinate with ICE all the time, even in sanctuary cities. They ignore the laws, they ignore orders, because they are a fascist gang. The Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Trump *AFTER J6 RIOTERS KILLED COPS*. They have ignored anti-black pogroms basically every time they haven't been leading them. Portland Police literally had a squad to "fight communism" made of known Klan members. That kind of shit is *everywhere*. Washington police formed a death squad to assassinate Michael Reinoehl on Trump's orders. ICE is *still* carrying out ethnic cleansing, and police, who have always been racist and anti-labor, help them every chance they can. These cops are enforcing abortion bans, all while protecting Epstein billionaire. I'm not even touching on *half* of the shit.
They are murdering mothers, they are murdering children, they are kidnaping parents using children as bait, and they're doing all this while protecting child predators. This is one system.
Abolish ICE and the fucking police. Now.

@Neybulot@pawb.funI'm feeling so directionless right now. I was considering moving to the Pacific Northwest, but from the people up there I've talked to, it's getting worse.
When I visited Portland, there were so many tweakers and a furry at the convention literally got beat the hell up.
A friend mine sent me a furry chat up there and it was just filled with a decent amount of people talking about their drug addictions and delusions, was incredibly scary.
To top it off, many of the worst ind…

@philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com@… I often make the opposite decision you do, but I’m certainly not convinced it’s the right choice…
The hours of my life I’ve spent driving 45 minutes to Portland, because none of the big stores have location in SW Washington, to get something that is in-stock according to the website, only to be told that’s a data entry error and they don’t have it.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caHey Seattle/Portland friends.
Look out for information about this missing person. She was found, nearly dead, in the water near Vancouver BC in 2022. She died the next day, unidentified.
New analysis of pollen on her clothing indicates she might have just arrived to BC from the Seattle or Portland areas.
Apparently BC RCMP will be doing a news conference in the USA in the near future to try to find anyone who might recognize her.
