This photo. Wow. #WorldSeries

John Schneider just said that this was an "epic World Series for a variety of reasons" and that is damn correct

A photo of a brozened statue standing in a shaded city park.

For those curious, the statue of a pioneer family dubbed "The Promised Land" formerly of Portland's Chapman Square has left town.

The statue was taken down after being vandalized in 2020.

According to the city, it was returned to the artist who made it in Enterprise, OR earlier this month.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

OPB/KMHD's union has been bargaining its first contract with mgmt for 16 mos. It's been... frustrating.

Here's a way to support/follow updates as we inch toward gaining some earned respect & support from OPB leadership during a bonkers, endless newscycle:

Tuesday, we attended the OPB Board of Directors meeting in solidarity.

We sent a letter to the board asking them to invest in us, the creators of the content our communities rely on. We haven't received a response. Read the letter here.

We are determined to get the contract we deserve!

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

I am very, very, very proud to be in a union with my hardworking colleagues at OPB & KMHD. Follow for updates & good vibes 😊

A post that reads "We've been bargaining for nearly a year and a half to create a better workplace at OPB. We've done all this during a profoundly unstable time for both the public media and the country as a whole. But we are undeterred." Underneath is a repost from OPB-KMHD Creators United account, but it's blocked by a spam warning.

Hey @moderation.bsky.app, please take my union off the spam list

We've been bargaining for nearly a year and half to create a better workplace at OPB. We've done all this during a profoundly unstable time for both public media and the country as a whole. But we are undeterred.

From one of our donors: “I make a monthly donation to ProPublica because I value the work of the ProPublica reporters. They deserve a fair contract”

From a ProPublica reader: “They’re asking for reasonable job security protections and a fair contract. How you act and meet this moment has significant implications for the wider world.”

From a former ProPublican: “Hi Robin and Steve! I loved working at ProPublica and believed strongly in its mission. I still do. … Please agree to the contract, because it’s the least that hard-working ProPublicans deserve.”

From a ProPublica reader: “Do the right thing, ProPublica—we’re watching.”

Many of the signers also eloquently shared why they support our union and our calls for the contract rights we deserve, including Just Cause job security, steward representation throughout the disciplinary process and guardrails around artificial intelligence implementation.

D’Angelo, R&B’s reluctant icon, has died at 51 The expressive singer made just three albums, including his 1995 debut, <em>Brown Sugar</em>, but retreated from the public after each. He had been battling cancer, according to a statement from his f...

We live in a world without D'Angelo, but we'll always have his music.

Fed agents are deliberately stopping individuals who appear Latino, demanding proof of legal status.

There are reports of U.S. citizens being detained until they can verify their identity and status.

At this point, legality or criminality no longer seem to matter.

In Pendleton, a tiny plane keeps people connected. But could buses do it better? The Essential Air Service program helps Eastern Oregon stay linked to Portland, especially after Greyhound ended service in January.

As the Essential Air Service program’s cost soars, Congress is debating whether taxpayers should keep picking up the tab. Earlier this week, flights nearly stopped altogether when the program ran out of money during the partial government shutdown.
