NWS spotter in Haines (northern Alaska Panhandle) Sunday late afternoon reporting 38.5 inches (97.8cm) snow accumulation since the snow began Saturday morning. Even by Haines standards that is a lot of snow in one storm. #akwx #Snow #Winter2026 @alaska.bsky.social

if you haven't already, go throw a couple bucks to the reelection campaigns of Mitch Green, Angelita Morillo and Tiffany Koyama-Lane. If you're a portland resident the public match program means even donating $25 to each is a huge boost; we need all three of them to stay on council this next fall

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

I’ve seen no serious engagement from senior Dems about what, exactly, they plan to do in terms of reasserting congressional power, as in identifying the available tools and thinking seriously about ways to use them to dig us out of the current state of total constitutional collapse.

Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.

I understand the maga movement as a grab bag of chaotic reactions and appropriations, skillful only in its ability to coopt, thieve, and parasitize. devoid of coherence or integrity, it’s defined instead by shameless hypocrisy in service to power

Greed puts out the sun.

A silver lining: Car bloat enhances the appeal of cheap, fun, modest-sized golf carts. This year they became legal to use on public roads in South Carolina, Cleveland, and Corpus Christi (plus a slew of suburbs). IMO the golf cart boom is one of 2025’s best mobility trends.

Our photographer Alex Kormann captured the exact moment the presses stopped for the last time in Minneapolis, ending a 158 history of locally printed newspapers.

I rode my bike from Ballard to the WTO protest in Seattle, but I took BART to SF in 2003 to get arrested protesting the buildup to THAT war. My inspirations were the women and more who got out to protest abortion bans in the 80s. It's not that we roll over, even though some of us get tired

Battle of Seattle was in 1999, Iraq war protests were massive after that, occupy and blm after that. there are so many through lines. these are the currents that carried sanders, that elected the squad and now zohran. keep going.

Ready for some good reading in 2026!

Imagine it being easier to just pay the 8 billion dollars and it won't affect you in the slightest. Man what have we done lol

Hey Portland friends, now that the holidays are winding down, my classes for my winter session are quickly filling up. I still have space in the class I’m most excited about though, Put Your Hands to Work. Make more art! www.erikarier.com/shop/put-you... www.erikarier.com/shop/put-you...

While I was putting out fires making sure my parents didn’t buy into crypto or other such scams I left a gap in the armour and pod system coffee slipped in. 100% sunk cost, impossible to convince them it tastes like shit

The first thing ICE did when it was created was raiding meat processing plants in the Midwest and south to help quell labor disputes over safety violations and keep those who weren't detained from getting legal protections as many had kids who grew up locally and were citizens with political power.

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

Where trains have recently electrified, environmental benefits cannot be understated. Check this report out of the Bay Area after Caltrain electrified the San Francisco 4th & King-to-San Jose Diridon segment with 25kV AC lines, in prep for California HSR: interestingengineering.com/science/cali...

There are signs that more and more people are choosing trains for intercity travel: In the Pacific Northwest: www.theurbanist.org/2025/11/24/a... And in the Midwest: www.startribune.com/amtraks-popu...

Today, the US has less than 1% of its railways electrified. en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?... Compare this to Switzerland, 100% electrified since 2017 (and running on 100% renewable electricity since Jan 2025), and India, which will soon reach 100% electrification, a full 5 years ahead of schedule!

But can't we all dream bigger? Like this? www.hsrail.org/regions/

1. New York’s affordability crisis flows from a deeper problem: essential systems — groceries, energy, Internet, banking, healthcare — have consolidated in the hands of distant corporations. Today, ILSR sent the Mamdani team a memo laying out policies to reclaim local control.

Every Sunday, protesters from Florida and beyond go to the notorious immigration jail and advocate for its closure

I snapped this image of the MAX at Pioneer Courthouse Square tonight in war ravaged Portland, Oregon. My favorite part: no right on red. 🥰 #PDX

One elected official in Stafford County, Virginia, goes on the record opposing a federal plan to “warehouse” in the county up to 10,000 immigration detainees before they are deported.

God: [takes giant bong rip] it's like rain, but icy, but cool, not harsh. it's light and beautiful and fluffy and unique. it gives everything an added depth and makes negative spaces come alive with texture. [coughs] oh also it can like kill you a bunch of ways

Plenty of people saying they want to live on a big piece of land w their friends, not enough people moving into the same apartment building as their friends

26 December carries centuries of winter customs: from old traditions like Lá an Dreoilín (Wren Day) and Shelf yn Dreean to those more common in modern times like St. Stephen’s Day and Boxing Day. Today, we’re honing in on the Welsh wassailing folk tradition of the Mari Lwydm. #CrawfordArtGallery

Sweet! I'll add this one to my library list right now. My fave book of the year: The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley.

A single sentence of a novel, warm and scary and imaginative, The Idiot meets the Nazis. I recommend it.
