Ancient history now, but workers at Rogue tried to organize in 2011, but the company busted the drive: www.splinter.com/craft-beer-s...

"Rogue is drastically behind on rent and taxes – owing $545,000 to the Port of Newport and up to $30,000 in taxes to Lincoln County." Been waiting for this shoe to drop, but... oof, man.

BREAKING: Acting chief of FEMA David Richardson departs from his job just six months in, officials say.

Meanwhile her ex husband is selling out to fascists, burning money on AI wrecking the public sphere and treating many of the workers that prop up his business empire like total shit.

Enrique Tarrio talked to me about his plan to go to Portland in this piece I wrote on the Proud Boys in the new Trump era last month. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true? HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart-- KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

On Tuesday, far right provocateurs announced that they are planning another "Patriot Weekend" outside the pdx ICE facility for this weekend. Past events billed similarly as this one resulted in lots of aggression, violence, grifting, and the manufacturing of content and propaganda by the far right.

All politics are identity politics. The real debate is which identities get priority.

For those who might not remember, Plaskett was an impeachment manager for the second Trump trial and a quite vocal member of the Democratic caucus. She led a protest on the floor because of the fact the Virgin Islands did not have a vote in the House. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

U.S. Customs and Border Protection hasn't explained why armed agents stopped teens at a Dutch Bros drive-thru in Hillsboro, and they say there's no urgency to explain: “In all fairness the incident is almost a month and a half old, so it’s not breaking news," a spokesperson told The Oregonian.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, has introduced legislation to recognize Israel’s genocide of Palestinian people in Gaza and call for the U.S. to take concrete actions like an arms embargo to end the ongoing slaughter.

NEW from me: a new report found that national resistance to data centers skyrocketed between March and June of this year—especially in red states like Georgia and Indiana:

The share of American women and girls age 15 to 44 who would like to move permanently to another country if they had the opportunity: 🟣 45 percent of single women 🟣 41 percent of married women 🟣 44 percent of those who do not have children 🟣 40 percent of those who do

I just want to say there are a lot of journalists and writers who do real, incredible work on topics that matter while maintaining high standards. Many of them do not have stable employment or recognition from major institutions.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Following up on her pro-labor platform that got her to City Hall, Wilson told constituents to not buy coffee from one of the city’s best-known brands.

NOW WHERE IN THOSE EMAILS DID IT SAY TRUMP AND CLINTON HAD ENGAGED IN—

I was not aware of this story, and I'm guessing that the University of Virginia wanted it that way augustafreepress.com/news/shame-o...

Indiana mid-decade redistricting news.

Broadview.

It's very hard to get good and current data on immigration arrests, but an OPB analysis of what's available confirms what many have suspected: Oregon saw a major uptick in arrests last month.

With the release of 20,000 Epstein files, MAGA finally got what it had been demanding for years. Now they're doing their damndest to brush them off. from @davidgilbert.bsky.social

Every ad now

the news cycle has been so hellish i haven't even gotten to celebrate the fact that taylor swift wasn't nominated for a single grammy this year the world is healing

NEW @motherjones.com: When a 16-year-old accused Russell Brand of rape, Megyn Kelly begged conservatives to condemn him. Now, with Epstein, she’s claiming it’s not quite fair to call him a a pedophile because he was “into the barely legal type” of minors. ⬇️ www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

i was yawning until i saw NO AI CONTENT ALLOWED I AM LISTENING!!!!!!

ProPublica really coming through with the receipts on Fox News airing misleading coverage of Portland to spur Trump into sending the National Guard there. But this is really the cherry on top... www.propublica.org/article/port...

putting a pin in this for whenever someone says "we're a Christian nation!"

the language being used to describe MINORS that Epstein & Co RAPED is telling, + mirrors the exact manufactured consent used to validate the abuse and rape of young Palestinian girls by IDF soldiers. remember this when you say Gaza is an international issue w/ zero applications elsewhere!

I think it's the "saving up for braces" part of this story that adds a whole new level of ick. Like... that's a kid, man

hilary, demi, billie (and I thiiiink olivia?) all have songs reflecting on a dating an older man when they were very young, and I think we should be paying attention to that. demi's song 29 is quietly devastating, and I think Wilmer Valderrama should be getting waaaay more smoke than he does.

😔 WETA in Washington, D.C., and its subsidiary News Hour Productions are ending broadcasts of PBS News Weekend, closing News Hour West bureau, because of Congressional Republicans gutting of federal funding for public media: current.org/2025/11/weta...

Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein. So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
