30% of Oregonians cannot or will not be a driver.

However, 100% of Oregonians will, at some point, be a pedestrian.

Drastic transit cuts--including half of a MAX line--should be a five-alarm fire, but it barely made a dent in the news cycle compared to a 6¢/gallon gas tax increase.
you ever notice how transit cuts in the biggest city in the state aren’t talked about as a political risk for the governor, despite being vastly worse for transit riders than an unnoticeable gas tax increase is for drivers?

Reminder: In November, we can flip over 650 state legislative seats across the country – helping us secure multiple new majorities and trifectas – including in battlegrounds like Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

you don't need to add caveats agreeing that the head of state abducted is a bad guy before opposing abduction of a head of state by military force. If the rule was any head of government is fair game then the entire world would be a series of decapitation strikes and show trials in foreign courts.

That was a great clip with Sinatra. Our country was built by immigrants, not white people who call themselves Christians. If you want to find real Christians, look to our immigrants. They didn't come here to hate, they came because we told them they could and we would welcome them to a better world.

My female Afghan judges and prosecutors had to do this regularly for years, even during the 20-year American occupation of Afghanistan. And then the Taliban took over and killed many as we scrambled to get the rest out of the country. Sigh.
"One judge moved house. Another had to freeze her credit cards after a security breach.

Other judges have taken actions to adapt to the changing landscape by upgrading home security systems, changing the route they drive to work."

This is fascism. This is what terrorist intimidation looks like.

More than 100 pizzas were delivered to the homes of judges and their families this year, some with signs of foreign involvement. Judges say the message is clear: We know where you live.

You are painting a vision of a future in which teachers create lessons with "A.i.," students complete them with "A.i.," and teachers grade them with "A.i."

No learning takes place under this system.

The only benefactors of this system are the corporations being paid for the "A.i." products.

Across the country, women are dying of sepsis, losing organs, being arrested for miscarriages, and used as brain-dead incubators.

Corpses have more rights than women living under abortion bans.

What better moment to run a full court cultural press about how freedom isn’t that great anyway?

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.

NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.

ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.

Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.
