The reds and oranges of fall have quickly taken over, and October is now in full swing. While summer photos are delightful, the fall beauty is just as nice, so keep snapping those pictures.

SAP America, the U.S. arm of German software giant SAP, laid off employees at its Palo Alto offices, according to a state filing.

SAP cuts dozens of Bay Area jobs as part of new layoff strategy

The layoffs are part of a shift toward steady, smaller job reductions that CFO Dominik Asam described as “like brushing your teeth.”

I love it when people try to say bad stuff about Portland but we just end up sounding rad as fuck.

Yes. Sadly, those are what's left of Portland's bragging rights -- great food, beer, wine, coffee and donuts. Oh, there's also cannabis and sex shows.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley said, “Trump’s troops are deliberately attacking peaceful protesters to incite violence. The goal is to generate riots to justify the expansion of authoritarian measures and to strengthen the case for the troop deployments.”

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
