The American Alliance of Museums put out its annual industry snapshot and it's not great. Trump's targeting of museum programming had downstream effects and put a "chill on corporate philanthropy." n.pr/43lIZa7

Preliminary results show that the current framework of "AI" makes ppl less likely to help or seek help from other humans, or to seek to soothe conflict, and that people actively prefer that framework to any others, literally serving to make them more dependent on it.

Federal officials claim Portland's ICE facility closed down due to protests. Even federal judges acknowledged this as true. So OPB decided to fact check it. Data show bookings at the building never stopped.

I love this so much. Funny, sweet, hopeful, and kind of bad-ass. youtu.be/bw5zxdSObso?...

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

The truth of what's happening in Portland doesn't matter to the Trump administration. But it should to all those who recognize the danger of the federal government's willingness to unleash "full force" on cities with different politics. Editorial: www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2025...

Just drove past 6 parked ,private charter buses of military guys in camo milling about, getting fast food snacks off I5 in Tualatin, that hotbed of suburban tranquility. Last stop before #Portland And no pics bc I know not to use my phone while driving.

Scenes from ‘war ravaged’ Portland today. My message to Trump’s troops: You are not needed. You are not wanted. Go home.

ICE has reportedly just taken two North Portland residents, one who was on his way to work and another who was with their 13-year-old child outside of a school. The kidnapping of our neighbors is horrific and unacceptable.
