Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Scholars of the 50s and 60s, now’s your time to remind people of how the FBI infiltrates left-wing groups and foments violent action.

Shorter JD Vance: You are not allowed to criticize ICE. Goes along with shorter Pete Hegseth: You are not allowed to criticize the military's action at Wounded Knee. And shorter Donald Trump: You are not allowed to criticize me. It's full-on authoritarianism, all the way down.

Looks like Microsoft is on the verge of becoming a White House owned tech company like a lot of the media networks.

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

Trump's angry speech before the General Assembly was “coarse absurdist theater.”

Trump’s ICE is hiring goons with no firearms training, whatsoever. 🤪 This goofy fool pulls out his gun to aim at unarmed protesters who are filming, but he FUMBLES IT and EJECTS THE CLIP. He doesn’t notice this and picks it up to aim at the unarmed protesters, anyway. 😩 We are not safe.

Hear, hear.

What exactly is all the tactical gear for if ICE needs to call in the 101st Airborne to defend against six vegans carrying signs, one of whom is wearing a homemade Gritty costume?

Again, this is all lies & false narrative. Portland is no more "war torn" than West Palm Beach.

Tahoma this morning at sunrise. #Tahoma #MtRainier #photography #myphoto

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Also: A couple of nice photos from my travels to Seattle last night. #Seattle #photography #myphotos

Another great photo of Tahoma from earlier this evening. I'm very sad for the low snow/ice level on the mountain, it seems like the lowest I've seen in the ~15 years I have lived here. #Tahoma #MtRainier #photography #myphoto

Ryan Walters Resigns As Oklahoma Superintendent I recently wrote about the Oklahoma state legislature's plan to build a memorial plaza and statue to honor Charlie Kirk, while mandating signage signifying him as a "civil rights leader." That post was labeled as a "Part 1" and this post was intended…

A long decline in vehicle maintenance has left the Army and Marines with readiness problems, the Government Accountability Office found in a new report released this week.

As October brings vivid mountain colors, the post Helene hospitality industry in Asheville, North Carolina hopes for a big return of tourists.

Tahoma! tonight at sunset… I’ve lived up here for ~15 years, and that is the least amount of snow/ice I’ve seen on the mountain since I’ve been here. #Tahoma #MtRainier #photography #myphoto

"DOXing" generally just involved releases of otherwise public information, so I'm really unclear on what is the crime here. www.latimes.com/california/s...

"The point of this kind of flex isn’t Jim Comey any more than it’s Tish James or the New York Times. The point is that after he comes for them, he can come for you. That’s how authoritarians work, how they have always worked, and it’s why it’s useful to read the Niemöller poem backward."

This is the 20th time the Supreme Court has granted an emergency request made by the Trump administration since January. That's TWENTIETH.

In a single paragraph, SCOTUS allowed the executive branch to withhold $4 billion in funds Congress appropriated for foreign aid. Make no mistake: this is a major assault on Congress's power of the purse and yet another step towards giving the president king-like power to defy the legislature.

Over the eons, I have found ways to connect with people in all 50 states of the US. Of every background, generation, and political outlook. I exclude anyone currently working for ICE.

BREAKING: Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R) rejects a referendum that sought to let voters weigh in on the GOP’s extreme gerrymander, escalating the state’s power grab into a direct attack on Missourians’ constitutional rights.

Top Trump officials are reportedly working to identify groups whose activities “led to” violence, whatever that means. The vagueness is the point: The people's government is actively looking for political activity they can *pretend* to link to violence. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2009...

We are so humiliatingly deep into tinpot dictatorship territory. The government has just brokered the coerced sale of a major media platform to an ally of the president, who is openly boasting about converting it into (even more of) a partisan propaganda outlet.

I went to see The Who last night in Seattle. Great show. Epic show.
