Is Portland ‘War-ravaged’ as Trump claims? Here’s what residents say. President Donald Trump had said living here, in the nation’s 26th most populous city, was like “living in Hell.” Portlanders mostly met the news with confusion.

President Donald Trump said living in Portland, Oregon, was like “living in Hell.”

For many Portlanders, the city is something closer to heaven. The trees stay green all year long. The coffee is good at every shop.

Sweeping Israeli actions transform West Bank in shadow of Gaza war The dramatic expansion of Israeli settlements and escalating violence by radical settlers aimed at evicting Palestinians are among the measures remaking the territory.

While much global attention has focused on Israel’s war in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and Israeli settlers have been remaking reality in the much larger West Bank.

Judge blocks Trump’s stop-work order on large New England wind farm The temporary injunction comes amid the administration’s broader assault on renewables that threatens the electricity supply as demand skyrockets.

A judge temporarily lifted the Trump administration’s order to halt construction of a massive offshore wind energy project that would power hundreds of thousands of homes — the first major setback for Trump’s campaign against the renewable energy.

While Israel is escalating ethnic cleansing of Gaza City, the US is pushing ahead to send more weapons for its genocide.

US-Israeli holocaust.

Israel has bombed a car today in south Lebanon, killing four members of a family.

Israel has bombed Lebanon nearly every day since the “ceasefire” almost one year ago.

U.S.-facilitated terrorism.

Some people might not realize that there are bird species which have the equivalent of what we humans call "happy hour" or a time of the day when they get together to socialize as a group. Pigeons have it and so do Canadian geese.

So here's an example.

Mystery Music Leads to F.B.I. Raid on Noriega Business Most businesses lining the 2500 block of Noriega Street are closed by 8:30 p.m., except for a restaurant that stays open until midnight and a bar on the corner of the next block.

Some of my SF friends might have heard about the police raid on the underground nightclub in the Sunset District last month.

Evidently, whatever was going on there has been happening for some time, as in years, according to the neighbors.

Since I was a boy I always wanted to take a train ride across the country, so between July 11th to the 14th I took two Amtrak trains, the Floridian and the California Zephyr, across the USA.

I loved seeing our fine country instead of just flying over it.

Democrats release plan to boost party's California's House seats in fight for Congress The Democratic plan — a response to GOP redistricting efforts in Texas — aims to secure 48 of California's 52 U.S. House seats, up from the 43 currently held by the party.

In a display of cutthroat yet calculated politics, Democrats unveiled a proposal that could give California’s dominant political party an additional five U.S. House seats in a bid to win the fight to control Congress next year.

ICE is joining D.C. police patrols. Moped drivers are an early target. D.C. police’s efforts to enforce moped laws resulted mostly in food delivery drivers’ immediate release. That has changed.

NEW: As immigrant delivery drivers started using mopeds, D.C. police pushed greater enforcement of their vehicles.

Now, amid Trump’s federal takeover, ICE is joining their patrols — and detained at least 11 of those drivers.

Protesters block a highway in Israel to demand a ceasefire in Gaza and a deal to return hostages as part of a one-day nationwide work stoppage in the country.

Democrats are returning to Texas, clearing way for GOP to draw new map Texas Democratic lawmakers left two weeks ago to block a GOP plan to redraw the state’s congressional districts. They said they were returning now that California Democrats are adopting a counterpropo...

Texas Democrats agreed to return home after California Democrats announced they would redraw their congressional map and give their party an electoral advantage, effectively wiping out the potential GOP gains in Texas.

Of course they do. They both hate liberty and freedom.

D.C. Attorney General sues over Trump's 'hostile takeover' of local police U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi appointed DEA Administrator Terry Cole as the "emergency police commissioner" of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Update: Washington, D.C.'s police chief is the force's top official once again, as part of an agreement between the Justice Dept. and D.C. AG's office, after the Trump admin. rescinded an order that stripped the police chief of power less than a day after U.S. AG Bondi issued it.

Trump drops ceasefire demand for Ukraine war after summit with Putin An immediate ceasefire to the war in Ukraine had long been a bedrock demand by the U.S., Ukraine and their European allies.

President Donald Trump said Ukraine and Russia should go straight to agreeing on a final peace deal, dropping his demand for a ceasefire, a reversal that aligns him with Russian President Vladimir Putin hours after their Alaska summit.

Our friends at Cultura Y Arte Nativa De Las Americas are raising funds for several families in SF whose breadwinners have been kidnapped by ICE. If you want your money going to a local cause that's fighting back, there's no better place, and no better time! buff.ly/MF5g0NF #SFPol #USPol #ICE
