If you can, buy your beef locally. In Portland we have some great little farms and it’s worth the 40 minutes each way to buy our beef.

"We wanted them to cut the waste, not our hospital," How Democrats handle this moment matters a lot. You can’t lose rural America and working class voters and hope to win elections.

He told us he could shoot someone on the street and no one would stop him. Then SCOTUS said nothing he does in office that he calls official business is illegal. Then he put thugs on the streets to brutalize people. Then he started killing people on the high seas with impunity

You’re a lot more hopeful than me that he and SCOTUS won’t fix it so that he’s still president in 2029

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

This is over the top sadism. And sadism never exists in isolation – it's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

Hopefully @repdexteror.bsky.social, @mayorkwilson.bsky.social are paying attention to this and will make sure the Proud Boys don’t turn #PeacefulPortland into a city of chaos and violence ravaged by right wing January 6 insurrectionists.

Yesterday, during a stream focused on Portland, host "PatriotRob" on a Proud Boys-affiliated podcast urged viewers to "stand with the fucking Proud Boys" & "beat the shit out of" certain protesters.

Veterans Day is just around the corner on November 11. No doubt Trump will make some show of this holiday. The media should ask him about these arrest.

Our veterans shouldn’t be met with force from their own government for exercising the very rights they risked their lives to protect. I stand with every single veteran standing up and speaking out against Trump's lawlessness.

ICE kidnapped a man in Hillsboro, OR over a week ago and he’s still detained. They know they got the wrong “Victor Cruz” and that his papers were all in order. Yet they are still holding him in jail. Just a blatant abuse of power. www.kgw.com/article/news...

'He willingly got out of his truck and presented his papers': ICE agents seeking different man detain Hillsboro grandfather, family says

Originally from Mexico, Victor Cruz has lived in Hillsboro for nearly three decades. Last week, masked agents disregarded his legal status and detained him anyway.

Trump just pardoned a crypto oligarch worth $80 billion. Changpeng "CZ" Zhao is the founder of Binance. He served 4 months in prison in 2024 after failing to stop criminals from using his platform to move money tied to child sex abuse, drug trafficking, and terrorism.

And when Trump gets has death squads in America killing people like Duerte did in the Philippines what will they call it then?
This is what Trump does over and over. He tests the waters to see how much of a reaction he gets. “See they’re not extrajudicial killings they’re drug enforcement”
