Everyone **eyes open** on Saturday for Republican false flags and saboteurs

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Great thread on the distinctive political culture of Portland, by a US historian who is very much from Portland.

so good

Here is a poster that hung in my house my entire life, and which my mom gave to me when we moved to CT. The photo in it was taken in downtown Portland in 1978, and the man in it was a bar owner at the time - six years later he became the Mayor. THIS is Portland humor, which is not new!

The solutions are so obvious. Mamdani is polling at 85% among men 18-34. 85%. For anyone seeking the elusive male vote: I have an idea of how you could win it (but your corporate donors aren’t going like it).

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

The only way we save our country is through our numbers. Trump and MAGA don't have the majority, not even close. Overwhelm them with numbers. Resist everywhere. They are too reckless, incompetent, and self-destructive. Also, divide and conquer. Many fissures, especially around Epstein.

Climate investment is growth opportunity of 21st century, says economist

Belatedly reading about this and as always really important to remind people in *every breath* that when the right talks about “woke” and “DEI” they are talking about the cultural and political wins of the civil rights movement. This arrangement existed for 52 years because of historical activism.

⚡️Netherlands delivers minehunter ship to Ukraine, Navy commander says. A second vessel of the same class is expected to be delivered by the end of 2025, with crew training already underway, said Navy Commander Oleksii Neizhpapa.

Looks from here like the goal is to create confusion, and focus public attention on a subset of the most outrageous firings — to distract from the other firings. We shouldn’t be fooled, and should demand that all the illegal shutdown RIFs are made null and void. /end
