Get these hit squads out of Portland- get them out of everywhere!
A Colombian immigrant who had just appeared in federal immigration court Wednesday was pulled over while driving on a downtown Portland street and arrested by masked federal agents dressed in plain clothes, his immigration attorney told The Oregonian.

This paragraph stopped me in my tracks

“John Hoffman… entered state politics after he struggled to obtain insurance for his daughter, who has spina bifida. He figured others were having the same difficulty”

He entered politics to help people get healthcare coverage.

He got shot 9 times
John Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman were hit by a combined 17 bullets from the Minnesota assassin, and both survived and are now recovering. Yvette shielded their daughter.

Sen. John Hoffman and his wife say they are “incredibly lucky to be alive”

I've received some information from a local about the individual accused of being the SLC shooter (who did not fire, was shot by 'official' security who also hit and killed an unrelated person

He'd done armed protesting before. Dressed more radically. Was a little awkward. no more than that
The shooting at the Salt Lake City protest is strange. The guy with the AR never fired it, and instead appears to have been engaged by "peacekeepers" or protest "security" in yellow security vests?
Moment of the shooting at 0:02 in this video. I believe the guy partially hidden fired at Gamboa, and struck someone marching in the street behind him. The mortally wounded man was tended to near the blue Mazda near the red X. h/t @mrsissy.bsky.social for vid

Dems should take a hard line: no CRs or debt ceiling increases without full reinstatement of fired federal employees with back pay and an independent special prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened over the last week with Musk.

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

For those who say Elon Musk’s neo-Nazi ideology is just a troll and not a deeply held belief, I give you the reality of what happens when you give him this kind of unchecked power.

This is who he is, and it’s also who he associates with. Essential we discuss it as it is instead of whitewashing.
NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

I also believe in my bones that learning to build and fix things(building tables, mending clothes, fixing toasters) is honing an instinctual and ingrained muscle memory that allows us to build and fix other things(community, inequity, etc).
A lot of you make jokes about guillotines but few of you have been getting your woodworking and metalworking skills up. Get those callouses made, babes.

WIC. They are pausing WIC.

That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.
Broader agreement that it to applies to discretionary spending payments (Head Start, WIC, etc).
