Ninth Circuit Restores Block on Trump’s Portland Guard Deployment Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals voted to rehear President Donald Trump’s Portland National Guard case Tuesday β€” a step that vacates an earlier ruling that allowed Trump to federalize Oregon’s troops and deploy them against local protests. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Heretic Coffee is a volunteer-run, nonprofit coffee shop that trains people to become baristas and coffee roasters.

The coffee shop has been soliciting donations for less than a week to pay for breakfast for people losing SNAP benefits from the federal government

One of the strangest games I think i have ever seen. Don't think we will keep the DC after this year.

Non-rebuttable deference is a sewage synonym for absolutism.

Which is more awkward....tariffs require payouts to taxpayers or federalists not really federalists as they defined the term for decades. Just asking for "states rights" as an Oregonian.

We have entered the rabbit hole that leads to the end of a state and creation of new ones.

I appeared before J. Immergut when she was on the state bench. It was a basic question of procedure. She sat down and said somethingvlike.. counsel I read the briefs, I am inclined to rule against you...why am i wrong...(she was right).

If you allow a government to break the law because of an β€œemergency”, it will create an emergency to break the law.

Please do not limit J. Immergut to being a trump judge. Her history shows a traditional conservative approach to law that was approved of by 2 democratic senators for the federal bench and appointed to a state judge bt a democratic governor.

It's like they are reading the script from Starship Troopers as if it's some sort of encyclopedia of truth.

Friendly PSA, so you don't end up feeling awkward: Yom Kippur starts Wednesday evening. You will probably have coworkers unavailable part of Wednesday and on Thursday. Respect their time off. Don't schedule essential meetings.

And don't wish them a "happy" Yom Kippur, it's not that kind of holiday.

So when grand juries indict Trump, that is Biden β€œweaponizing the justice system” despite the fact that he said nothing about it. When Trump demands an indictment & appoints his personal lawyer to get it after his first MAGA appointee refused, that is β€œhow our system works.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal β€œresources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.
