Portland's homeless residents prepare for the first potential snow of the year This week's cold weather isn't expected to trigger Multnomah County's criteria to open warming shelters. Regardless, it'll be a challenge for those living outdoors.

Multnomah County has no plans to open warming shelters. Clackamas County opened an overnight warming center Monday night. In Longview, a severe weather shelter opens Monday through Wednesday, and Clark County is opening both overnight and daytime warming centers.

Testing the power of the internet: I'm helping a friend look for someone she met at the Bright Angel Campground in the #grandcanyon over Thanksgiving (11/27/25). She inadvertently went home with his pocket knife and would love to reconnect. She was in site 17. He was next door, white tent. Thanks!

"Just making s**t up" β€” David Roberts sounds off on the EPA "To say members of Congress didn’t anticipate a specific pollutant is just f**king comical."

This and the FDA's refusal to approve the new MRNA flu vaccine are the things that really scare me at the moment. The science deniers in the administration are going to damage our lives & health well beyond their own political half-lives.

ICE Melts in the Minneapolis Winter Now it’s time to abolish the agency and impeach Kristi Noem.

Getting ICE out of Minneapolis isn’t enough, says U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar:

β€œWe need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.”

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was β€œinvolved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

It was terrible. I was in the middle of the march and just as we got to the ICE facility with no warning they started firing flash bangs and unleashing gas.

Children, dogs, elderly people all moving slowly in the march were suddenly hit with flash bangs and an enormous bombardment of nasty gas.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

This is the moment DHS agents came out of the Old Federal Building in #EugeneOR and flashbanged, PepperBalled, and tear gassed a nurse-led Candlelight Vigil for #AlexPretti with #LaneCountyOR elected officials supposedly in the crowd.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

Keep your eyes wide open.

US immigration agents detain two-year-old Minnesota girl: β€˜depravity beyond words’ DHS detain a toddler and her father on Thursday and fly them to Texas before returning child on judge’s order Federal immigration agents detained a two-year-old girl and her father in Minneapolis on Thursday and transported them to Texas, according to court records and the family’s lawyers. The father, identified in court filings as Elvis Joel TE, and his daughter were stopped and detained by officers around 1pm when they were returning home from the store. By the evening, a federal judge had ordered the girl be released by 9.30pm. But federal officials instead put both of them on a plane heading to a Texas detention center. Continue reading...
