When 46-year-old Jim Wetmore died on the floor of an Amazon facility, @ryanjhaas.bsky.social was the sole Oregon reporter to write about that. He didn't stop there: today at @thewesternedge.bsky.social, Ryan examines the hot, stuffy, loud conditions at PDX9: www.thewesternedge.media/p/sweaty-stu...

The new Supreme Court case about mifepristone is about more than just one abortion drug. It’s about whether conservatives can enforce a nationwide ban and we need to all be aware of the details. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Ohio State needs to be banned from the NCAA for all the abuse scandals it failed to cover up. Michigan State and Penn State should have also received bans. The only way this dumb country understands how to pay attention is when we take away their sports.

If animals could talk, the world would be filled with tears… And perhaps also with shame. Original post

Objection!

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

That’s a fake image; please delete it to not spread misinformation!

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

The media told us, based on the amount of coverage they devoted to it, that the number one military-related issue of the 2024 campaign was whether Tim Walz retiring from the National Guard after 21 years was too soon or not.

Now that at least one U.S. air crew member is alive on the ground in Iran, it's worth revisiting Pete Hegseth's commitment to "no quarter, no mercy for our enemies." This is the scenario he was warned about.

The death of a blind refugee left at a doughnut shop on a winter night by border patrol agents without notifying his family, has been ruled a homicide. Arrest them all.

Trump couldn’t stay awake in a trial where he was on trial.

FBI reported 1700 arrested "child predators" in 2025. That's around 1/200k. There have been now 7 pardoned J6ers arrested for sex crimes against kids, out of 1600 J6ers total, around 1 in 230. You can play w the denominator a bit (135M adult males) but it's still around 350x the rate

he forgot the word 'special'

So now Democrats are more of an enemy than Russia or China. The evil that permeates trumps soul grows and grows. Every Christian leader that does not speak up is complicit.

We’re honestly overwhelmed by the support on our last post, thank you all so much 💖 So many of you said it was the first time you’d seen us, which really surprised us as we post every day. We’re a small shelter just trying to give these rescues a safe and happy life 🐾

Just days ago, Witkoff told us on @cnbc.com that Putin said he WASN'T sharing intel and that we had to "take him at his word."

One Trump-allied company controlling more than 60% of local TV news in your city means: - Trump could have more influence over what you watch - Your prices could skyrocket - You could have fewer choices But state AGs are fighting this, and I'm with them. We've got to stop this.

The city of Tyre is now being asked to evacuate, which is just utter madness. Tyre is 1.5 hours by car from Beirut. x.com/AvichayAdrae...

NEWS: Six months before the Trump admin began bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts. State’s energy division got completely DOGE’d. And with it went the people who knew how to plan for a global energy crisis.

Jimmy Lai should be free, not sitting in a Hong Kong jail.  I stand with Sebastian and Claire Lai in calling for their father to be given his freedom. Journalism is not a crime; China must respect this right per the ICCPR.

With the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirming that his regime is receiving military assistance from Russia and China, it is reasonable to conclude that the war has become a global conflict. https://www.ms.now/news/iran-war-military-russia-china-foreign-minister

Just for fun, here are some images of the same DOGE douche (Justin Fox) at the raid on the US Institute of Peace via the MPD body cam footage I obtained:

I dunno man, I think precipitously canceling people's funding caused a lot of damage to other people's careers and lives and reputations and maybe they should live with the blowback. They come from a media ecosystem that makes public lists of insufficiently bigoted professors.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Hegseth: Why do the headlines say inflammatory things like “war intensifies”? Pentagon official press release 3 days ago: Hegseth says war intensifies

The implication here is that a year of secret police crackdowns fueled by racial profiling have left thousands of sleeper agents unmolested, great stuff. *FOX NEWS RADIO AIRS TRUMP INTERVIEW RECORDED ON THURSDAY *TRUMP ON IRANIAN SLEEPER CELLS: THERE COULD BE MORE THAN 1,700

DHS is retaliating against FOIA officers for making lawful releases. At the same time, most of the agency's FOIA officials (including at CBP) are furloughed, and the govt's procurement database has been absorbed by a website that effectively makes it unusable. They are hiding your docs from you.

"A researcher at a far-right think tank helped Justice Department prosecutors craft their indictment for terror charges against an alleged 'north Texas antifa cell,' the researcher testified Monday."

(11/11) In this new normal, costs are individually adjusted to a consumer’s maximum threshold and wages to a worker’s minimum floor. The next time you see a price, know that it may not reflect what the item is worth—but what the algorithm believes *you* are worth.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

The restrictions Miller and Hegseth railed against were designed to prevent us from doing things like slaughtering children en masse.
