🚨Children’s Hospital Chaplain released after being detained in Cincinnati’s Butler County Jail for 73 days. He shares powerful words with us. 1/2

Schools in South Carolina recently sent home unvaccinated kids, to stem a growing measles outbreak. Turns out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly infected their classmates for days. That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

The way Trump is violating the Constitution to pay the troops during the shutdown is a big deal that is getting virtually no coverage because Democrats don't want to be on the wrong side of the issue (podcasts.happyscribe.com/the-daily/a-...), but that's precisely why it's so dangerous.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” (He clearly lets go to save face in front of the reporter, and… splat.)

Community groups, airlines and nonprofits are seeking food, clothing and supplies to help residents in the aftermath of the Western Alaska storms. Here's how you can help.

Every time you see Mike Davis do Mike Davis things, think about Gorsuch reportedly helping land Davis a job at DOJ, then choosing him as a clerk when he was on the 10th Circuit, then choosing him as a clerk when he was on the Supreme Court.

Taken together with impoundments, this would break everything. The president is claiming the power to not spend money he doesn't want to and now also to spend money where it's not allowed. And SCOTUS might say no one has standing to stop him. That would make him an appropriations king.

Uline's owners "have used their wealth to funnel millions of dollars into the most extreme RW politicians & mvmts... contributed $144 million to conservative groups in the 2024 election cycle... donated $4+ million to bankroll anti-abortion groups who pushed to overturn Roe v Wade." refuseuline.com

Kagan is going back to the difference between Section 2 and Section 5. This would work if Roberts was an intellectually honest person. Unfortunately, Roberts hates Black people voting as much as any Klansman ever did.

One of my only remaining joys is that every single time Amy Coney Barrett makes a stupid argument, Ketanji Brown Jackson gets a chance to follow up and illustrate her stupidity. And this will happen again, and again, for the rest of Barrett's life.

Portland doing whatever it takes.

MSNBC from last night.

anti-anti-fascist = fascist

Only reason we aren’t seeing a 1929 stock market event is massive investment in inflatable animals.

I wish I knew who the artist was

If the religious leaders get activated at scale, I think it could mean something is happening…

These folks are SO scared of simple honest protest. They’ve gone from 0 to 60 in lie-telling regarding October 18 immediately. October 18—and the idea that lots of Americans will be peacefully marching in support of American democracy and “no kings,” is terrifying them.

There are more frogs!

Meanwhile in #Portland

This frog costume is selling out this Halloween, right?

US anti-fascism expert blocked from flying to Spain at airport

Spoke with cnn while sitting on the floor of my hotel room hallway bc my family were asleep in the other room.

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

cowardice will not save you capitulation will not save you

Flights at Burbank climbing our most tracked flights list as the tower is currently unstaffed through 0500 UTC. Flights are operating with delays as crews must coordinate with SoCal TRACON and each other on the ground. www.flightradar24.com/airport/bur

Thanks, Donald Trump! Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

“The ratlines (German: Rattenlinien) were systems of escape routes used by German Nazis and other fascists to flee Europe from 1945 onwards in the aftermath of World War II. These escape routes mainly led toward havens in South America – particularly Argentina” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratline...

Might be a great strategy for more than just Comey. “RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES” T-shirts for everyone!

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

“Political culture imagines that the Supreme Court safeguards the Constitution, when in reality it is chipping away at the constitutional rights of historically marginalized groups."

Last time we had a fed incursion in PDX, the Feds were holed up at the Marriott on SW Naito. I also heard there were some staying at the Red Lion a few months back as well. Time to make it untenable for any local hotel to welcome the these fascists under their roofs. You know what to do gang. 💥☎️

So many echoes from this article for US politics....

“It’s looking like Elon renamed it X only because there’s no swastika key.” ⬇️

For years, Black troops fought for policies that allowed them to thrive in the service—including around grooming. To Hegseth, that’s the whole problem: a military with Black leadership and without obstacles to a diverse corps is one in which white men have to take orders from the wrong kind.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Thank you to the neighbors who mobilized in response to early reports. Let's find this man and bring him home.
