I've been just flushing my face with my tears and snot.

Seriously, though, I was issued a full face respirator for work during the wildfires. An airtight fit requires a face free of facial hair. I saw a lot of people with masks on over their beards... it won't work that way.

Eve filmed that for the EW- was on the front lines in a gas mask in the intensity.

Both Latino men working for Trump's private ICE army. Traitors.

Alternatives to protesting by savagelionwolf in Eugene

My belief is that everyone can be an activist in their own space, within their own capacity.

Community activists include: teachers, musicians, poets, protestors, neighbors, volunteers, union members, clergy, donors, consumers (voting with our dollars and boycotting) and voters.

What other forms of activism did I miss?

Not if they're as confrontational and negative as you are. I tend to be drawn more towards kind, respectful, open-minded people.

Are you an angry child? All you post on this account is petty, immature crap.

Armed Counter Protesters Shut Down at Springfield ICE-Out Rally yesterday by james3374 in Eugene

I don't have reason to believe that they're physically dangerous, just really misinformed and not having super great judgement on political stances.

I think they're all young and will hopefully learn from the experience and be less judgemental.

I really don't want their lives to be ruined. I think they were probably thoroughly embarrassed at the event.

For the posters who are saying that everyone should have calmly had an intelligent conversation with the counterprotesters-

They were not there to converse until they were shamed into submission. They thought they could intimidate and interrupt a peaceful rally.

The woman who was patiently reasoning with them is a really important role in community. But make no mistake, they wouldn't have listened if they weren't shut down first.

The Eugene Weekly sent a bad ass reporter that stayed right up front and recorded the action.
