"Many of them, he said, held legal status, but were unable to immediately produce their documentation to the agents.

“Some people left their property, their work permits in their lockers here,” [their boss] said. “I could bring it to them and get them released. But I don’t know where they are.”"

I do not celebrate Sandwich Guy.

Real news that @60minutes.bsky.social cut from the televised show. Real, important news for an educated public. This is sane-washing out of fear of losing favor.

Thank you! I have really enjoyed voting by mail. I can take my time and get a chance to learn about measures and lesser-known candidates for lesser-known positions. We also have a great Oregon Voters pamphlet that includes a wealth of information. So good!

OREGON WAS FIRST ! 😁

Thank you! But _this_ is th part of th Declaration of Independence that first came to mind, for me!:

"... that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, ... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations ..."

Have you forgotten Ralph Nader?

The biggest story in the country right now should be Donald Trump admitting he has no idea who he's pardoning—and that he only pardoned a crypto fraudster because his sons told him to.

Could you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden admitted something like that?

Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet.

Corporations are the real "welfare queens" of society

I whole-heartedly agree. I love Bernie (but 'married' Hillary), but that is exactly what I began to notice about him in 2016.

Federal agents are gassing peaceful protestors. That is not making the public safe. That is making the public the federal government's adversary. We're being targeted by our own government. Something's deeply wrong about it.

Wait -- I just got here!

Taylor Swift donates hugely to several causes -- and I think she just donated to food aid, following Billie Eilish's lead.

This gives "Don't Look Up" vibes.

... referring to my recent reply, I consider myself to be a mainstream Democrat, but I do have a river of "degrowth crank" running through me.

Well, I consider myself to be left, but pragmatic. I try to squelch th 'degrowth crank' in myself. But when I see a chunk of luscious land be stripped to build a new mega distribution center, I do not celebrate. I know it's good for th economy, but, philosophically, I AM CRANK. I cant help it.

The Original Sin of the Trump Presidency.

I think Trump's Epstein Ballroom is more accurately referred to as the Great Gatsby ballroom. Obviously he visualizes himself sitting in his very own Pleasure Dome, with scantily-dressed semi-bare-naked ladies entertaining his guests.

I agree with everything you said except for the "full of shit" statement. Also, dont forget that Reagan broke the air-traffic controllers' union.

Meanwhile, Republicans refuse to work with the elected Democrats to find a solution to benefit everyone. Remember this when you vote in every election from this day forward!

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

They are shutting out all Dems bsky.app/profile/chri...

Bravo to space.com for this deeply reported, lengthy piece.

Depressing, but a shocking thing is Goddard is using the shutdown to order moves out of lab and engineering spaces on 2-3 days notice, requiring major equipment to just be left behind and demolished

@jaketapper.bsky.social OK, just _one_ more, then I'll quit bugging you

President Trump and his congressional allies could end the pain of the government shutdown “by doing what they should have done months ago: making a deal,” the editorial board writes. “The hard work of governing in a democracy is hammering out a compromise.”

Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending' A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." Stephanie Sy examines what’s b...
