81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The Oregon Department of Justice submitted multiple videos as trial exhibits that show federal officers using force against what appear to be nonviolent protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building on various nights since June. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Amazing Emergency Naked Ride. Here’s the moment thousands of riders rolled through the protests at the ICE facility and cheers erupted. 😮💯

Portland Mayor Wilson says he's interested in taking over the lease of the city's privtely-owned ICE facility -- a suggestion that came from DHS. (And he rejects feds' ask for "free speech zones" where ppl can be penalized for protesting outside of.)

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

The question of who gets to tell the story is a critically important one right now. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Noem and influencers on roof of ICE facility in Portland, ostensibly looking at a very calm city block on a hot Tuesday afternoon….

In response to an investigation launched by the federal government into the Portland Police Bureau’s policing practices at the local ICE facility, the city attorney shot back, laying out a pattern of excessive force used on protesters, and favoritism toward conservative streamers by federal police.

Even during a shutdown, TSA officers & air traffic controllers are showing up without pay to keep our airports running. While I delivered them donuts, I checked in with travelers to make sure they knew they were visiting a "war zone.”   It's clear Portland is not a military target. It's home.

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

Remember when we had that other building in DC along with the White House? It was full of politicians? Con-something? Anyway.

The President does not have the authority to enter into war without Congressional approval—it is unconstitutional. To begin a war is among the most consequential decisions a nation can make, affecting its troops, civilians, and the world.

Time for some tax bill graphletics!!! One Big Beautiful Bill Act is policy design at its worst. In this thread, I show through some charts just how much MORE expensive it is to give a tax break to rich people than it is to provide services to poor ones. 1/

Here are my top 10 protest dogs! youtu.be/lgOtg-BeV6E

According to GOP: Minimum wage worker makes a mistake on the form documenting his work hours: Fraud! Waste! Abuse! Take away his health coverage! Guy files 866,000 false Medicare claims, defrauds government of $87 million: Give that man a pardon! www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

"In March, the Trump administration cut $1 billion from Department of Agriculture programs that provide food to schools and food banks and said there would be future cuts to other programs..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

In Poland, we know all about fighting illiberal regimes. Here are our lessons for the Trump age | Jarosław Kuisz and Karolina Wigura

#GiftLink. Philip Bump on the Trump bubble and its contribution to the administration’s ineptitude.

Lizzy came out today to protest. #HandsOff #50501

Rural northwest Oregon checking in. About 150 people; town population is 600. #HandsOff

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause. “For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” “For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

#Handsoff. 80 people in a town of 600. Rural Oregon coast.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

This from @joshtpm.bsky.social is very very good talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/elon-...

A tiny, easy thing you can do: wherever you’re traveling, buy the local paper and boost the news of how fascism is trickling down and how everyday people are pushing back. From today’s Caledonian-Record of St. Johnsbury, VT.

Jim Cuddy has written a song lamenting the Republican/Trump/Musk attacks on 🇨🇦. #TrumpTariffs #TrumpRegime #Never51 #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp youtu.be/b5jgJZWG7aY?...

In response to today’s Oval Office meeting, I sent Ukraine some $ for rebuilding. You can also contribute for medical aid and de-mining. Join me? Every little bit helps, and this is a way for us to say we don’t agree.

This week we remember the unjust incarceration of Japanese Americans who were sent to detention camps across the country during WWII, based solely on their heritage. History shows that locking up people in massive camps will not make us safer—no matter what the Trump administration claims.

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

McMartin: “Most painful of all, goodbye to my American friends... I can cross your border but no longer wish to: Your Narcissist-in-Chief has decreed that my countrymen and I have the choice of becoming destitute, vassals or enemies. I’m choosing the latter.” vancouversun.com/news/opinion...

it sucks that he's not using this platform but senator merkley's instagram is actually pretty funny. he's got a recurring series he's doing called "shit that ain't true" where he just debunks various lies the president's team has told

The erasure of the Jan. 6 records comes while the administration is also seeking to whitewash the teaching of U.S. history, threatening to withhold funds from schools that teach about America’s troubled history of racial and gender discrimination. By @alecmac.bsky.social

The 4th Estate seems more like the 4th Trailer Park. I’m looking for more on-the-ground journalism to support. I have enough opinion substack subs, thank you. Who’s doing actual reporting?

Gift link:

vance is lying and knows he’s lying but even if he weren’t, “separation of powers means the president is an elected despot” may be true in some other political system but it has never been true in the american political system

I dare you. #caturday

So thankful that @rephuffman.bsky.social is sounding the alarm on threats to NOAA. Keep those calls to your congressional reps coming! mailchi.mp/ac9da78a3516...

Nobody elected Elon.

This is the way the administration should be covered.

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

Regardless of whether Trump was bought off by Tik Tok investors/donors… ....or driven by his need for narcissistic supply from "young" users... ….Trump’s narcissism compromised him, and once again exposed his unfitness to be president. Let’s unpack the Tik Tok flip-flop…. 1/

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
