I know it’s a stupid sideshow, but I am surprised that Strict Scrutiny has not covered the moment where Pamela Jo Bondi retroactively declared Halligan a US Attorney www.rawstory.com/halligan-267...

Thank you! I need education on this front

If you look instead at how bigly the sharpie line is trending upwards, it is clear that this is just another “deep chart o crat hoax” thank you for your attention to this matter

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

extremely happy for jaedyn shaw, no idea how she had the misfortune of finding multiple coaches who didn't know how to utilize her quite specific, and generally very coveted, skillset

Came here to say the same thing. Sports careers are short, and watching teams waste Shaw’s talents was maddening and sad.

Last week. In my neighborhood. And she was on foot and on completely the wrong end of the neighborhood for where she wanted to be. Pretty odd.

Zanzibar’s ‘solar mamas’ are trained as technicians to help light up communities Around half of Zanzibar’s population of 2 million people live unconnected from the electricity grid.

Chicagoans buy out street vendors amid a federal immigration crackdown Across Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods, fear of a federal immigration crackdown has emptied the streets.

This seems like the sort of great idea that Portland would like. What do you think @bikeportland.org @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social ? https://apnews.com/article/chicago-illinois-immigration-ice-c24537965e31860fb07ba83e79de4f4b

Biovac starts trials on South Africa's first domestically developed cholera vaccine Researchers in South Africa have launched clinical trials for the first vaccine developed entirely in the country.

Good news on a cholera vaccine. Hopefully the trial goes well. apnews.com/article/sout...

Yes imagine having many of your star players out injured and making adjustments like the Portland Thorns have been doing all season

Maybe ChatGPT was down?

Was this a Cormac McCarthy adaptation or am I remembering wrong

Thank you for that damning comment

Hillsboro man released after alleged wrongful detention by ICE U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici calls Victor Cruz a 'well-respected grandfather with legal work authorization and a pending visa claim.'

But they kept the wrong one locked up anyway. “Cruz’s family and friends have previously said that ICE told Cruz during his detainment that they were looking for another person with the same name who had a record of driving under the influence” www.opb.org/article/2025...

a bunch of public employees pulled an all nighter with no hope of getting a big bonus to make sure that hungry people got food. I hope that story gets written

“Further, evidence at trial does not support that the protesters acted with the common purpose” More evidence that the frog and the chicken were not colluding to…jeez idk

City will use cargo trikes in new sidewalk cleaning program The plan is to focus on sidewalks along major business corridors and commercial centers.

This feels like the moment where tv news jumps over to get comment from the Portland Frog

Didn’t think that an Apocalypse Now reboot could get any weirder but I was wrong

Retroactively giving you last year’s Nobel Prize for literature

So, fire government employees but also hire interns?

A comment that extends beautifully beyond the Thorns match

Nobody should be suffering like this in this rich country. Heretic coffee got a lot of donations for food, can you hit them up or can I help with that?
