Okay, mom says she "can& #39;t [tweet] fast enough" so I guess I& #39;ll start a thread of her updates
currently: "we took a moment for Breonna"

"not much action until the ACLU comes back"
"just Bendites being themselves, gossiping and comparing summers"

trying to determine the source of the pizzas. A few local options that I loved when I still lived there are: Pizza Mondo downtown, Olde Town Pizza a little East of there, and Cibelli& #39;s (two locations, East side and South (South side is newer and my fucking JAM))

"Some little old lady brought a gallon of milk,loaf of bread and peanut butter and jelly for the children because she heard they were hungry

"John Hummel is here now. He& #39; s our da and he is trying to find out"
"We are going to be on CNN wow"

I asked what the DA was trying to find out:
"Why he was out of the loop. So far he said this is all trump and barr as far as he knows"

"He [the DA] just reiterated that we are a sanctuary city."
"Film crews and press everywhere"

"Now they are saying that no children are on the bus. It& #39;s two dad& #39;s. One was taken from the gas station."

I mentioned @JFlorencePDX considered going down, but their contact said the event may be resolved by the time they got there
"True Hummel thinks it& #39;s over when ACLU get back"

I asked how many people
"200? Such a different vibe than Portland. Too jovial and party time."

"They have been in the bus for 6 hours with no food or restrooms. This is inhumane"

"Okay, first argument with a pig. I asked him what he was doing here and he said he could go home if we did. I told him I am not going anywhere until those held get to go home. Then I told him he needs to gas me
Bish"

"Two great speakers, one English, one Spanish
Now we are chanting in Spanish. Unitos is all I made out..united"

"Such a diverse cross section of bend. Teachers, clergy, families"

"Now they are calling for the mayor who noone knows the whereabouts"

"The men were apprehended have been in custody since 5am, but I think [the person currently on the megaphone] are exaggerating. they have been on the bus for less time because they were processed but not at the pig house"

"We won& #39;t leave until Sally Russell [Bend& #39;s Mayor] comes here. Hummel came and so should she."

"They just gave out [Russell& #39;s] phone number and of course it went to voicemail, so I texted her one mom to another."

"Mailbox is full as, get this, she& #39;s on vacation until the 23rd. How convenient. Could they have known she& #39;d be gone?"

"Cool, people are walking around with trash bags and chanting, "let them go""

"Now there is a sign language interpreter"
AccessiBloc in Bend you love to see it!!!!

They& #39;re up to a few hundred folks

"Some asshole started spouting"why are you defending criminals,?" The crowd got angry and they told us to ignore him as we are here for the peeps on the bus, not low life& #39;s. I did have to put my finger in his face and say that he wasn& #39;t welcome here. It felt good

There is a police presence, but not directly at the demonstration, she says they& #39;re on the street, maybe a quarter block away

"Okay, asshole got bored and left."
