More than a dozen protesters spent the night camped out at Portland's ICE headquarters, where they have been holding a 24-hour vigil. The group plans to remain at the site for the foreseeable future.
"We went from five of us in one tent camping under the stars to a little tent city," said Hanna Tashjian, 25, who lives in Southwest Portland.
The vigil, Tashjian says, began after a Father's Day rally held at the same location Sunday.
"We were just here. The building is still here. And we didn't want to go home. Not now."
Protesters are taking shifts at the Portland headquarters after the Trump administration's policy of separating families looking to enter the county, either without seeking documentation or by seeking asylum, at the southern U.S. border. Protests have also been taking place near Oregon's Federal Correction Institution in Sheridan, where the government crackdown led to 123 asylum seekers being held at the prison. ---

TED C
ted-cruz's-hypocrisy-knows-no-bounds
Sen. Ted Cruz in a committee hearing laments corporations putting their thumbs on the scale when it comes to social and domestic policies and politics. Funny how he never complained about this pay-to-play system he enjoyed with corporate America for the last ten years: “Woke corporations are acting as the political enforcers for partisan democrats, and we're seeing more and more CEOs weigh in on political matters and use their corporate power to try to punish anyone who doesn't agree with a radical policy agenda."

WHAT
what-are-brits-most-proud-of
Emma speaks to Andrew Seaton, junior research fellow at St. Anne’s College at the University of Oxford, to discuss his recent book Our NHS: A History of Britain’s Best Loved Institution.
Andrew Seaton then joins as he dives right into the NHS’ 75-year history as a beloved British institution that always seems to be under threat from the right, first looking at the current state of the service – with the NHS deeply hindered during the pandemic alongside increasing cost-of-living and wage-crises among its laborers. Slowly working backward, Seaton then walks Emma through the Labor Party’s slow revitalization of the NHS over the 21st Century, revamping its budget after decades of cuts, and seeing a drastic improvement in its efficacy and efficiency, only for the emergency of a string of conservative governments in the later 2010s to completely reverse their progress. Continuing the journey backward, Emma and Andrew explore how the NHS remained the beast that Thatcher couldn’t slay during the neoliberal turn, before taking on the post-war labor project that was establishing the NHS, and how the project was viewed by the rest of the West (particularly the US).
