Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

This is amazing from a city that doesn't even rank in the top 25 in population.

As fucked up as basically everything is right now a gorgeous spring day really does hit the spot

What is this

so we rescued a set of cinema film scanners does anyone need a set of cinema film scanners? if you have a need for a cinema film scanner (or can give it a good home!), and can arrange to have it transported from the Seattle area, message me on fedi or e-mail me at [email protected]

Outrageous.

Know your rights when recording ICE agents and other law enforcement officers in public.

Big Pipe Update:

Invite El DeBarge you cowards.

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

Yet another reason Oregon (and other blue states) need to accelerate housing construction. We are forcing vulnerable people to stay in dangerous jurisdictions because they simply can't afford to move here.

Phenomenal hire by @mayorkwilson.bsky.social. Excited to see what Brenda Alvarado does to better align City Hall with Portlanders' deep and broad commitment to protecting our immigrant communities. www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

Pretty rad to see Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Love on the @portlandartmuseum.bsky.social donor wall.

I'd just like to offer that it's *really* irresponsible and dangerous for anyone who's not trained and experienced with a firearm to carry one in a public setting, even if this person has the noblest of intentions.

Join us Tuesday Feb 24 at 2:30pm Pacific for a live virtual town hall with @wyden.senate.gov, @merkley.senate.gov, and their fellow Oregonians.

"In lieu of flowers, the family and Zipporah Films kindly request that you support your local PBS affiliate or independent bookstore in Frederick Wiseman’s memory."

Every single Wiseman film is a beautiful, insightful, entertaining gift. His body of work as a whole is one of the essential American works in any medium. We were so lucky to have him for so long.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

You will be visited by three ghosts...

"Honey, that singer you like had a cameo in the halftime show!"

Fun with dried limes and barberries.

Having worked a bit on the first version of this bill that failed in the previous legislative session, I do think this would be a win for journalism in Oregon. Big Tech made billions off the backs of people who produce information while giving little back. Write your reps!

Can't wait to get my ass shot by the Dutch Queen as I illegally parachute into Aruba with the 82nd Airborne compulsory service battalion.

Unless the "home" in question is the White House or a governor's mansion with a full-time official function, etc., it's a strategic mistake to target protest activity at an elected leader's private residence.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

In a small sliver of happy news, the Chili Championship at 5&Dime here in old Foster Powell is an absolute blowout.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has said that in regards to immigration, Spain needs to choose between being an open and prosperous country or a closed-off, poor country. I don’t know if this has sunk in here yet, but Oregon has the same choice. www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

If your children got tear gassed today I want to hear from you, even if you don’t live in my district. You can contact my office at [email protected]

To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.

Like many have said, the gassing outside ICE today was really bad, and it impacted a huge group of people. I heard multiple people say they felt like they were going to throw up as they tried to leave the area. (I experienced similar effects.) It followed a peaceful protest led by labor groups.

if you were tear gassed today you should send [email protected] an email and tell him about it

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

What blue states not building housing gets you.

There are Ws everywhere if you have the eyes to see them.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

BYE BITCH

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

Hi I'm a visual forensics reporter at The Washington Post. Do you have any footage of today's ICE shooting? Please reach out. DMs open.
