How the Government Shutdown Affects Oregon Forests, Trails Rachel Saslow

Multnomah Falls interpretive center is closed; Trailkeepers of Oregon has cancelled trail maintenance on federal land.

So tell me this: Will the Secretary of "War" Hegseth also ORDER that JD Vance shave off HIS beard?!

British Army Band Plays 'Paranoid' in Tribute to Ozzy During the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace The British Army's Band of the Coldstream Guards performed a beautiful cover of the Black Sabbath song "Paranoid" in tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.

He's building the ballroom so he can be the new host of "Dancing With the Stars". He's already dancing with the tsars.

Today we made it possible for this little 6 or 8 week kitty (now named Midnight) found near a dumpster to be saved. Bought her food & paid for vet bill so our Oregon partner could save her. Donate to my #tailsofjoy b'day wish! THANKS!

Today we made a "Little Guy Grant" to help save this baby Poodle who was run over and whose back legs & feet were crushed. I've spared you the awful photos and instead share his post surgery progress.

My heart breaks even further for the deportees. We know what kind, loving people they are because my #tailsofjoy is helping rescue the pets they were forced to abandon and each pet is gentle, loving, sweet, and trained. You can tell a lot about people by their pets.

Trophy hunter killed by buffalo he was stalking. (After photos.) And here I thought only wolves had dens.

Didn't notice that, but it's now so evident! I was there at Woodstock 1969, and she sure as hell was one of the high points of my 3 nights and 4 days. Stay healthy and smart... we mustn't give up with the crumpy White House and all the et ceteras this dictator thinks are his friends.

PEACE

Now the Epstein files are the distraction from the fact that assface is doling out martial law across the country. Martial law would allow him to cancel the midterm elections. Amazing that there is something worse than the Epstein files that uses the files as a distraction.

I avoid doctors. Many of my friends are my age and we're suffering the same ailments. I wait for them to go to the doctor, tell me what we have, what physical therapy we need to heal, and then I do it. I haven't spent a penny and I feel great.

Let's save animals!

Just watched David Firestone’s chilling interview w @nicollewallace.bsky.social. This whole piece is a must read. 🎁🔗: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/o...

Legal advocates raise red flags as DC police team up with ICE President Trump’s deployment of federal forces in D.C. is drawing dissent from residents and legal experts alike.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said Trump pointing the finger at cities with Black mayors who were making historic progress on crime “tells you everything that you need to know — it is a disgrace and distraction.”

He should activate Baltimore mayor Brandon Scott instead.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, and opened several schools up for summer classes ... Crime is down 62%.

Democrats and Liberals understand how to reduce crime.

Republicans and Conservatives just create more crime, more expense, and are all corrupt criminals themselves.

True freedom, true liberty, is being free from crime, not imprisoning half the population for profit.

Trump’s recent comments about crime in D.C. and other major cities like Baltimore, Chicago, and Oakland miss the mark.

What do these people have in common?

Well ...

They are all MAYORS OF COLOUR.

We all know this isn’t about “law and order”.

It’s about RACE.

It’s about Republican Racism.

Thank you Maple Mama. Got a few more. Brandon Scott (Baltimore's mayor) is right

Opinion | Boy Crisis of 2025, Meet the ‘Boy Problem’ of the 1900s

I‘m a bit dumbfounded at how a sociologist as renowned as Putnam can honestly rebrand the Boy Scouts, an organization historically mired in racism, sexism, and empire, as a solution to today’s “boy problem.” Backlash times, I guess.

And yet another anniversary of the one and only, the original, WOODSTOCK!

My guy-friends and I (musicians on the move) were there from early Friday morning 'til mid-afternoon on (post-Hendrix). That's three nights and four days of nothing but music, peace, no fighting, and a half a million of us.

This is why I love to study sociology and psychology. Because why lol. Grouping behavior is interesting

Why does this sampling work matter? Because #shorebirds rely on food sources like #invertebrates to fuel their long migrations. Food is a key part of the habitat puzzle & measuring invertebrate abundance helps us gauge how well the habitat created through #BirdReturns is meeting the needs of birds.
