I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us
Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Horrible, horrible images from Portland:

Senator Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov · 2d
It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Wow. That company has been around for almost two centuries. My heart breaks for the hundreds of people out of jobs.

Look at how they characterize the purveyors of this message lol.

The funniest thing in the world is someone posting something egregiously fake followed by “let that sink in.”
Debra Messing: @emmabenson92 I have nothing against Socialism, don't know where you got that. I voted against M because he celebrated 9/11. Let that sink in. I love my country. My reasoning is not Islamophobia. I I've chosen to live in the most beautifully diverse city in the world.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary
@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Doing a deep dive into hives that also bleed is not something I ever thought I'd need to do. And it's amazing that in spite of the fact that I'm under the care of three specialists (immunologist, rheumatologist, & dermatologist) for this, I still mainly have to rely on myself for finding answers.

Waking up to some careless parachute journalism from the NYT. Really frustrating that @kellen.bsky.social chooses to write that "some top filers" have left Portland due to the Preschool for All tax but neglects to mention that the number of overall filers went up by many thousands in that period.+

Remember the episode of West Wing where the administration does some horse-trading to get a liberal woman appointed to the Supreme Court + in exchange also appoint an arch conservative, + it turns out the 2 are friends + bond over the rule of law. Should have won a Hugo for best short-form sci-fi

This book chapter is a great case study of what good, values-driven management looks like. It sometimes involves making hard choices that may be unpopular with stakeholders and higher-ups but that will protect the long-term well-being of your reports. Well done Amanda!

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

good lord, dick durbin wants democrats to give up their only remaining leverage this year for an *informal commitment* from republicans. www.semafor.com/article/09/2...
For instance, some Democrats indicated they could be open to funding the government with simply a commitment from Thune to extend health care subsidies in the coming days. "It would be a real mark of progress. I hope that's considered by him. That's progress, as far as I'm concerned; whether it's enough, I can't say," said Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-II. "If we're not sitting down talking about ending this responsibility and helping people deal with health care, it's going to be a rocky road."

Part of a hospital group, and I'd be more ok with it if she even bothered to try to be helpful or explain anything to me. I don't think we have a rheumatology practice around here that isn't part of a hospital group, so the choices are limited. I asked my primary for a referral to a different group.
