Sad day for press freedom and the First Amendment. The press is not Pete Hegseth's spokespeople.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

His only goal is to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Little does he know the committee looks at the whole man, not just actions abroad but looking at the abuse of his own country at home. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Legendary pioneer. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/b...

Make no mistake, Trump wants a shutdown to give him an excuse to fire more federal employees. Republican leaders need to stop using people as pawns. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

Why is all his speeches always focused on bad news, he doesn't have anything good news to share other than "Hey, we're great with wars." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...

Worth reading

OK, so how many people knew Charlie Kirk before last week? And this is someone that warrants a national moment of silence?

Trump attending sporting events to get the best seats and causing taxpayers to pay for the security required for him attending these public events with his cabinet. I know it's Sunday, but do these people ever do any work? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...

Love this, let's change the game! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/s...

Brave Republican politician calling out bigotry as it's cloaked today in the anti-woke rhetoric. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/o...

Bit of a predictable list for @nytimes.com best restaurants in Portland. Doesn't include newer spots such as the exciting Terra Mae. www.nytimes.com/article/best...

Really enjoyed "Butterfly" on @primevideo.bsky.social. I was confused about the back and forth of Korean and English dialog among characters. I mean, pick a language! But I thought the father-daughter storyline was smart and witty. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBmy... @danieldaekim.bsky.social

Why are my taxes being used to institute martial law in D.C.? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Everyone knows about the Filipino food movement, but still fascinating to learn about the beginnings from this old 2018 documentary that I just discovered on TV. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUQC...

What's with this stupid mini #homerunderby to break the tie in the #allstarbaseballgame? Is it that hard to go another inning?

Democrats had a terrible strategy fighting the #bigbeautifulbill. When they tried to delay the vote with their long speeches, all that did was give the administration more time to sway Republicans to vote yes. They should have pushed the vote earlier when people had doubts and see it fail.

When you're traveling in Seattle with your dog and realize you can't partake in any of these restaurants. Anyone else miss dining out when you're traveling with your dog? www.nytimes.com/article/best...

From a common sense perspective, this is just mind-boggling. Without a nationwide injunction for a national order taking place, now some people born in states protected by an injunction is a citizen and someone in another state is not a citizen. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Trump fighting a war that doesn't exist. Instead, he makes the United States a country of aggression. This is not what American represents.

Why is no one paying attention to the economy and instead just interested in a nuclear war? How does this put America first? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Congratulations to Jinju Patisserie in Portland for this national recognition, well deserved! pdx.eater.com/restaurant-n...

Republicans voted for a president that will bring down egg prices but instead you get someone taking us to the brink of war with Iran. Remember these times next time you vote!

Let's break it down, the tragic death of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman is 1) fueled by the political rhetoric of today's times and 2) easy access to firearms in the United States. How will our leaders change this?

Trump says he wasn't involved but you know he and Netanyahu suffers from the same bravado that feeds on attacks rather than diplomacy. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

I don't know why this columnist at @nytimes.com is piling on Obama in this convoluted essay that has no sense or direction. Ugh, so disappointing of the opinion page. No one was asking or expects Obama to save us. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/o...

CBS definitely not getting an Emmy for this year's Tony Awards broadcast. Sound guy seems to asleep with the levels, always starting off with no sound and then finally adjusting for the TV audience. I feel bad for all the great performers not having a memorable moment captured.

An American hero who speaks the truth www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/a...

An administration that's inept will also hold the reputation of being corrupt. And apparently they don't care because American public seems to think it's OK even though we'll have to pay taxes to support these riches? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/o...

Congratulations again to all the voters who opened the doors to the selling of America. Hope you're happy. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/w...

Exactly this. The new pope provides an American leader that represents the values of the United States to the world, namely inclusivity, welcoming to all, helping the disadvantaged, and building bridges. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

I need a warning with Netflix's "Chef's Table" starts a new series. Found "Legends" on tonight with Jamie Oliver! www.netflix.com/title/81712001

He can't even get his buddy to stop bombing during peace negotiations. Clearly not even trying. 100 days in office and still no end in sight. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Anyone else hear JLO whenever you listen to Minka Kelly talk on Ransom Canyon? www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...

I don't understand the fights with higher institution?! How is this bringing down egg prices. Leave colleges alone and stop asserting your speech onto others. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

For a brief moment, lets listen to someone sane. #freespeech #firstamendment www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u...

45 BILLLION for a detention center. Couldn't we use this money to help the homeless or maybe pay farmers to buy more chickens? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

The stock market totally reflects how great the Republican administration is making America. Don't believe their "wait and see" approach. Demand positive action now.

This is what happens when you put people with no national security experience in charge. And then they shrug it off as no big deal and play the blame game. #incompetence www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/u...

WH Secretary Karoline Leavitt whines that 67% of court injunctions against presidents have been against Trump. Well, maybe stop breaking the law.

Boycott tonight's joint address by Trump. Lets give him the lowest ratings for any presidential address. Everyone's going to post clips of choice moments anyway, so you can catch up that way.

People forget that the US has a big stake in the Ukraine-Russia war because the start of the war directly caused the crazy increases in gas prices. If Trump is going to fight inflation like he promised, he has to broker peace instead of bullying Zelensky. www.nytimes.com/2022/03/10/b...

The #oscar opening with Defying Gravity is everything! #cynthiaerivo

Ariana Grande’s performance to open the #oscars2025. This is her Super Bowl halftime.

If DOGE can't get their numbers right, can America really trust them to rework budgets?

We're connected to someone special through the ages. That's the meaning of the Korean word "in yun." Just watched this and really enjoyed it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA24...

Hearing Trump cabinet members like Hegseth justify firing leaders because they practiced "woke" DEI programs should make any non-whites who voted for Trump feel shame. Shame. Shame. This is what you created. www.foxnews.com/politics/def...

Even MAGA can't keep up with Trump's lies.

Those who support Luigi Mangione are accomplices to murder. There are children without a father now because of your actions. apnews.com/article/unit...
