This is deeply reminiscent of a photo of my grandfather amid a gathering of fellow residents of a nursing home in Silver Spring, Md. circa 1971. At the time, though, Max Simon was certain that he was Kaiser Wilhelm II and had been assured by Hindenburg that Paris was very much within his grasp.

It appears Portland councilors will be asked to approve public funding for the Moda before knowing where, precisely, that money will come from:

ICE agents shouldn’t be executing people on the street even if they ARE the target of the warrant

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I believe we are dealing with is a Schrödinger's McConnell situation

Sit a minute with the astounding contempt the cops are showing for civilian leadership and voters — dumping almost a million dollars into a campaign to drain a popular program that they clearly don’t think they can pull off honestly

Hey, dumbass: Everett, Washington is the exclusive home of the Boeing 747. Every single 747 ever made, including the 747-8 model gifted by Qatar, was assembled here. So yes, the US can, and DID, build a plane like this - including this one. Nice to see the "president" shit on American Manufacturing

Congrats to everyone who helped push this through in South Carolina, I love to see it spread: www.wspa.com/news/south-c...

I just bought tickets to an event in Portland and they were $29 per ticket but the fees were $14.75 on top of that per ticket. It got me thinking maybe what we should really be spending the arts tax money on is a municipal ticketing agency that would cater to smaller venues and have reasonable fees

The driver that doored Riley didn’t have car insurance, was driving on a suspended license, was parked in a no-parking zone, and opened his door in Riley’s path without looking. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/06/b...

another day, another insane arrogation of authority

has any man ever been more vindicated? x.com/stuartbuck1/...

Bicycle licensing laws are dumb because they can't possibly generate enough revenue to cover the cost of licensing without significantly pushing people to drive instead, and in the absence of funding (since no one wants to subsidize bicycle licensing) you end up with stuff like this.

I'm sorry, have journalists lost the ability to read their own writing? This is like saying someone was driving a box truck that was a tractor trailer. They are *different things!*

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

Trump is killing the economy. Spirit Airlines is gone. After 34 years, the airline shut down before dawn this morning every flight canceled, every employee out of a job, millions of passengers left scrambling. And the story of how it happened is a direct line back to Trump’s war with Iran.

Honestly just fill party balloons with hydrogen if you must, there is no reason to use helium.

Fair cop. If you’ve recently show a penchant for breaking international agreements on the whim of your leader, it can make negotiating new agreements difficult. Madman theory doesn’t work.

As someone who lives a few blocks from Sandy, this would be so cool.

imagine a sunny saturday afternoon with Sandy Boulevard car free from 12th all the way to the grotto, or broadway from hollywood all the way across the river and through downtown. think of all the small businesses selling dim sum and asian pastries on a saturday streets event on 82nd avenue

Iran hits back on social media.

I really don't understand why anyone is willing to travel to a lot of places in the middle east. Not worth the risk imho, unfortunately a reputation my own country also seems to be earning recently.

@kenjennings.bsky.social nicely done noting that they were celebrating the Wright Brothers first flight not the first flight. My great aunt Stella wrote two books about Gustave Whitehead's earlier flights.

Blue sky’s reaction to the end of the game suggests that this NYT article is as off base as most of their stuff on politics have been recently.

oh now SUDDENLY he hates it when you tax international trade

ICE agents at airports are wearing vests that say POLICE. A federal court already ruled this practice deceptive and illegal. They kept doing it. Democrats demanded visible ICE identification after 2 Americans were killed in Minneapolis. Republicans blocked it seven times. Now they're at your airport

Everyone knows that the best proof of superpower status is when another country dictates your foreign policy. MAGA!

Sadly I believe the city of Portland has used zoning rules to destroy another outdoor eating space in our Neighborhood. www.pdxmonthly.com/eat-and-drin... I thought they had worked out the compliance issues years ago but it appears that the city is forcing them to tear it down.

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

This is why we demand concrete protected bike lanes.

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

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Starting in April, Carrboro’s East Weaver Street will be closed to vehicles every weekend — the town’s next step for turning the two-way road into a pedestrian and bicycle only plaza. Here are the details:

Any Portland folks want to get really into Australia Rules Football with me this year? I got kind of into it like 20 years ago, haven't watched in a bit, but am considering getting the streaming package but want some folks to watch with. Hit me up if you are interested.

Oh so now we believe in vaccines?? Oz Offers Forceful Call for Vaccination as Measles Becomes More Dire www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/w...

The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939

I’m a Federal employee. I won’t (and shouldn’t have to) go on the platform owned by one of the people who decimated my entire industry to reliably find out about news and upcoming meetings from my local government.

Every American needs to watch this:

Where are you, DA Vasquez?

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

CBS censored Billie Eilish saying “Fuck ICE” at the Grammys. Here’s the uncensored version:

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Victor Wembanyama to reporters today on the killing of two Minneapolis citizens by federal agents: "Every day I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable."

A sentence I'd never think I'd read from a fellow American in 2026. Long live the people.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
