Southern Oregon University’s Community Preschool shows what early learning can be when research meets care. It supports families, builds confidence in young children, and prepares future teachers through real practice. Small program. Real impact.

This is what American aid used to be. 🥣👶🏽🤰🏾 Millions fed. Mothers supported. No deals. No profit. No leverage. Just public service. As of July 2025, this is gone. Replaced by transactional cruelty. Remember what we lost. Remember who will pay.

Yikes. Be careful everyone and listen and follow instructions by emergency crews.

Grateful for the chance to read and share stories from former Peace Corps Volunteers 🌍📖 Each one carries a place, a moment, and something that stayed. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do.

Rep. Cliff Bentz has consistently voted with corporate and utility interests over consumers, opposing accountability and protections that keep costs off working families. This is the result.

Ten years ago armed men seized Malheur and laughed on livestreams. We called them clowns. They were a rehearsal. Cowboy cosplay, stolen land, white grievance, guns as politics. Now the fever spread. What broke at that refuge never healed.
The Takeover of Malheur Kicked Off a Decade of Lawlessness
The wildlife refuge occupation set the stage for Trump, January 6, and so much more.

Wiles unloads like a busted confessional. Trump with an “alcoholic’s personality,” driven by compulsion and control, convinced limits are for other people. JD Vance the political shape shifter, conspiracy soaked. Russell Vought a zealot. Musk a volatile live wire in the room. Trash TV.
Susie Wiles Talks About The First Year of Trump’s Second Term (Part 1 of 2)
In the first half of ‘Vanity Fair’’s interview with Susie Wiles, the chief of staff discusses Elon Musk’s DOGE disaster, the FBI’s “incredible job” investigating January 6, and how Trump once berated ...

Teachers show up early, stay late, and still fight for kids when the system cuts corners 🍎✊ Teacher unions are how dignity survives in public education. Paying our dues protects classrooms, communities, and futures. The Oregon Education Association is Oregon’s backbone 📚❤️

Trump’s economy is failing rural Idaho and southeast Oregon because jobless rates are rising, federal jobs are stalled by shutdowns and small towns see fewer opportunities while wealth concentrates in cities, leaving farms and Main Streets behind.

We need to do our part in Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District.

U.S. Rep. Cliff Bentz keeps drawing fire for failing the people he claims to represent. Rural families say he ignores teachers, nurses, farmers, and workers while backing policies hostile to labor and social investment. VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE! #VoteblueforOR02

Had a great time yesterday with the other candidates working to flip Rep. Bentz out to truly represent Oregon’s largest by land Congressional District, 2. We did a Zoom Bill of Rights Showdown, with the hard work of county leaders. Thank you. #MaryDoyleForCongress

1 Regime staff cut 90 percent of USAID and ate cake 🎂
2 Cholera clinic shut. Bodies followed.
3 Experts warned millions would die. Regime applauded.
4 This is blood policy. Get them out. Share. Burn the cover story 🔥📢 This is white Christian nationalism.

Marco Rubio 🤮 most be so proud of himself.

As an environmentalist, I feel the paradox OPB reports from southeast Oregon 🌱 Lithium helps us leave fossil fuels 🔋 but drilling in sage grouse habitat 🐦 risks undoing years of rancher led conservation. Clean energy must protect living ecosystems 🌎
OPB’s First Look: Sage grouse, lithium pose ‘environmental paradox’ in southeast Oregon between conservation and clean energy
Plans to mine for lithium in southeast Oregon help efforts to use more clean energy, but it also raises concerns about impacts to high desert habitat for sage grouse. Here's your First Look at Friday'...
