Until this site gets some Wemby-fever, I'm afraid it's useless.

Billionaire Blazers owner Tom Dundon is actively harming the Portland economy while Tina Kotek, Keith Wilson, Julia Brim Edwards, & the "moderates" on City Council try to convince us to throw no strings attached public dollars at him with blind faith that it will help the economy. This is a farce.

It should be a huge scandal that a close confidante of, and adviser to, President Trump and Secretary Rubio reacted to a deadly terrorist attack at a mosque by calling the mosque "evil" and calling for the deportation of all Muslims from America. But it isn't. *sighs*

The teen gunmen were merely carrying out the views and policies of the Republican party, as expressed by its proud leaders like Andy Ogles, Randy Fine, Tommy Tuberville, and of course our President and Vice-President. www.cnn.com/2026/05/18/u...

The way the Oregonian, the governor, and other electeds are pushing narratives that we must unquestioningly give a billionaire millions of tax payer dollars for the Moda center without evidence is astounding. I’ve never clutched pearls but this level of fiscal irresponsibility is getting me there!

Activist Guido Reichstadter, in Washington DC, shut down the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge to protest the US-led aggression against Iran. He has called for “mass nonviolent direct action” to dismantle the current administration’s war efforts.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

More than 500,000 Cubans marched past the U.S. Embassy in Havana on May Day to denounce Trump’s blockade. In a country of about 10.9 million, that is roughly 1 in every 22 people. They showed up to say one thing: "Viva Cuba Libre."

A state where Republicans just stampeded to eliminate an office before a Black man could get sworn into it is leaping to eliminate more offices held by Black people? Shocked, I’m shocked.

Everyone survives White House Correspondents' Association dinner: defector.com/everyone-sur...

We should care as much about journalists who choose to have a party with a man who orders the shooting of civilians who are peacefully protesting as much as they care about the rest of us.

Not only is @apnews.com attending the White House correspondents dinner, they invited one of the Trump staffers who kicked them out of the press pool as their guest. This is all so wrong. apnews.com/article/whit...

Thank you McDonalds for hiring those facing federal job losses. Every family deserves to earn a living and that’s why we raised our minimum wage in Virginia to $15 an hour.

The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act. Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

Business Legend Warren Buffet calls out America's Billionaires If 800 other major corporations paid what Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway did in taxes, Americans wouldn't have to pay a dime.

@repsummerlee.bsky.social served a #CupOfJoe to RFK Jr. with a latte truth to power. "Do you have an idea of how we could solve the Black maternal mortality crisis if we can't say 'Black?'" The guy is a danger to society.

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

I would add one more thing, aside from the point that no country can possibly replace what Israel gets from US: much of of the influence that Israel has with other states stems from perceptions that it provides a short cut to Washington; without perception of US-Israel bond, much of that disappears.

It should be no surprise that NASA, our most competent government organization, is very clearly the most representative of the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Watch all the kinds of people who were all given spotlights during the Artemis mission, it’s inspiring.

Calvin Duncan, a man imprisoned for 30 years before he was exonerated, won an election in New Orleans promising to fix a judicial system that failed him Now, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and the GOP-controlled Legislature are racing to eliminate his job before he can be sworn in

Filming ICE in public is protected speech. If someone with a badge loses their temper, your constitutional rights don’t disappear. www.PAXIS.app explains: That’s not “law and order.” That’s First Amendment retaliation. FIGHT ICE WITH PAXIS so people know their rights: www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

Whether it's Pete Hegseth being a white nationalist alcoholic sexual predator with a fetish for violence or Lloyd Austin being Black, the two most recent secretaries of defense have alienated segments of the American public.

For people just catching up to the Amanda Ungaro / Paolo Zampolli story (she was an Epstein victim, then the mother of his child; he just had her deported by ICE), here's the bigger context: it was Zampolli who brought the Slovenian model Melania Knauss to the US and introduced her to Trump. 1/

Dear G!  How are you?  Nice story about J. E. in New York mag, you look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania

A blaze rips through a car west of Gaza City believed to have been carrying two people, including Al Jazeera journalist Mohammed Wishah, whom the network said was killed by an Israeli drone strike

Associated Press journalists saw charred bodies in vehicles and on the ground at one of Beirut’s busiest intersections in the central Corniche al Mazraa neighborhood, a mixed commercial and residential area.

Behold our beautiful and brave colleague, murdered today! You know the drill, unfortunately, so… Say his name: Mohammed Wishah, Al Jazeera reporter, killed today in Gaza. US-Israel has assassinated nearly 300 journalists in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran in just 2 years. إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Iran’s first official announcement of a ceasefire A statement by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council claims that "Iran has achieved a great victory and forced the criminal United States to accept its 10-point plan."

They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

Now that the DARK WINDS S4 finale is out, re-sharing my set visit piece! It was so special to go and watch this show come to life & to talk to the cast + crew about the value of this type of Native American storytelling and representation on TV today.

That’s an oldie but a goodie.

Why does the fawning media always call these stains on our democracy “a first” like Trump broke the four-minute mile as opposed to the Constitution

Rep. @ilhanmn.bsky.social says it “should be very alarming for every American” that US nukes are openly discussed, while “we can’t have a discussion on Israel’s nukes.” She says it reveals the fear in Washington to question anything about Israel’s military. Subscribe to zeteo.com

This map shows how far and how quickly ICE has taken people from the Pacific Northwest over the past two years. There has been a huge increase in detentions, and also a dramatic increase in the distance people are taken from their homes. 🧵
