Kind of pretty at my house this afternoon…chilly, but pretty. 😁

A truly great actress and a classy lady. I loved many of the movies she was in, always felt like she wasn’t acting she was so believable. Be at peace Diane Keaton.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

I guess the ballroom and this arch are what trump considers infrastructure for the U.S. I thought it meant roads, bridges, wireless network for everyone..that kind of thing. Silly me. 🙄

We protect Taxpayers and Taxpayer money.

The raids falsely mythologize that some "desirable" will do the work that was done by our immigrants that are being disappeared.

They will not. The economy will collapse, and oligarchs will buy up the remains of the dead body like a black market organ sale.

Nobel Peace Prizes have often been awarded to people who fight autocracy. Maria Corina Machado fits right into that tradition

Today at @atrupar.com’s PN: Trump’s rationale for invading Portland is even dumber than you think.

My mom lived for nearly three decades just blocks from this facility.

My parents lived from 1965 to the end of their lives in Portland, so sixty years each.

From a gritty backwater to a thriving and desirable place on global lists.

I've lived and travelled the world. Portland is the best.

“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

It’s very sad that Gov. Stitt can say this obviously true thing but @GovBillLee wouldn’t in a million years.

That got dark quickly.

Absolutely! I was about to make myself another drink…I will hold off for a bit now. Lol

Demerdzhi-Yayla or just Demerdzhi is a mountain range located in the Alushta region of the Crimea. A foggy autumn day, the beech forest growing on the slopes of the mountain range is transformed into an amazing fairy-tale scenery.

He must be talking about ICE.

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

The Trump administration’s highly visible immigration crackdowns have created new barriers to criminal justice and community safety, city law enforcement officials say.

Delightful short read about Jane Goodall, who said, "I suppose I was born a fighter, but a fighter in a rather different way from getting out there & being aggressive, because I don’t think that works. You’ve just got to be calm & tell stories, & get people to change from within.”

I need people not from Portland to understand that a majority of the escalations happening here are the direct result of the far right grifting machine. They are another arm of the fascist regime and have been manufacturing content and spreading lies to manufacture consent. It's as simple as that.
