This, from the people who said sending artillery shells to Ukraine would leave us unable to defend Taiwan.

Alice Wong, disability rights advocate and wordsmith, dies at 51 Alice Wong, a transformational leader for disability rights and justice, who founded the Disability Visibility project to magnify disabled culture, died Nov. 14.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50.

I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman.

In Northfield, Minnesota, masked ICE GOONS violently abducted a father. The Goons smashed a car window, beat and dragged the man at gunpoint, while his teenage son filmed the incident and begged them to stop. The father has not been seen since. (November 11, 2025)

The Epstein case against Trump is as if everyone is looking at a 500 piece puzzle with 2 pieces missing and pretending they can't make out the picture for certain.

Screenshot from Portland Maps with aerial view and text "Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park is one of Portland¿s most iconic public spaces, stretching along the west bank of the Willamette River from the Steel Bridge to the Bowl. The park is an essential Portland public space and attraction that park draws locals and tourists to Downtown, playing a key role in boosting the local economy and serving city and regional residents. However, the park has not received significant investment in many years. Its amenities and infrastructure have deteriorated, limiting its appeal, accessibility, and ability to host the full range of activities Portlanders and regional residents expect. The Bowl area, located north of RiverPlace and the Marina and south from Salmon Street Springs, is especially underutilized. In 2025, Portland Parks & Recreation received $750,000 from Metro¿s 2040 Planning and Development Grant Program to address this need. The Gov. Tom McCall Waterfront Park Bowl Redevelopment Project is a national design competition to reimagine the Bowl and create the foundation for future improvements to the entire park. This project, in combination with multi-bureau coordinated efforts, is one of the mayor¿s priorities for the Downtown Revitalization. The process will invite national design teams to propose bold ideas that reflect Portland¿s values and priorities. Through community engagement, the project will identify a preferred design that balances cultural heritage, ecological restoration, and public use. The outcome of the project will be a design, cost estimate, phasing and implementation strategies, and an economic analysis outlining feasibility."

Portland Parks has scheduled a Pre-Application Conference in advance of the design competition for the Tom McCall Waterfront Park Bowl Redevelopment Project, which will "reimagine the Bowl and create the foundation for future improvements to the entire park" www.portlandmaps.com/detail/permi...

Mary Shelly lost her virginity on her mom's grave, facilitated a lesbian wedding, and carried her dead husband’s heart around in a bag, so, yeah, I agree, let’s return to traditional values.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I was just detained by ICE for 10 days despite being a citizen carrying Real ID. But at least I know the Oberlin Student Senate won’t be doing land acknowledgements any more.

An unwrapped tamale.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

People swear up and down that the notion of "supply and demand" is somehow not relevant to Bend, Oregon...

Eppur si muove

Baby formula distributed out of Oregon recalled as infant botulism outbreak grows ByHeart, a manufacturer of organic baby formula, recalled all of its products sold nationwide Tuesday, days after some batches were recalled in an expanding outbreak of infant botulism.

Recall alert: A manufacturer of organic baby formula has recalled all of its products sold nationwide.

ByHeart produces formula powder at a plant in Allerton, Iowa, and then ships it to a site in Portland, Oregon, for canning and distribution. FDA inspectors were at the Portland plant yesterday.

The absolute mess that is the center and left side of the British political spectrum is really putting them in danger of handing the country to people who will take it down a very dark path.

Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

These are the people who forged Electoral College vote certificates and tried to pass them off as real, right in front of the whole country.

Maybe the most insane crime of them all.

Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in bid to overturn 2020 election The pardons may be largely symbolic as none of the people listed were convicted of federal crimes, which the presidential pardon covers.

Trump is offering a pardon to any criminal who tried to help him steal an election.
 
The most corrupt administration in history and Republicans won’t say a peep.

But Schumer is against a deal

I think you just cracked the code!

One easy way to fix this would be to stop voting for republicans so the don’t turn whole departments of government into roving gangs of masked thugs.

Just admit our governor here in Oregon outsmarted you, Stephen Miller.

Disgusting. White supremacy enforced at home and abroad.

Oregon was prepared (thanks Gov Kotek) and grabbed our money before Trump / Miller could take it away again. Outsmarted, the regime pattetically wants to claw the money back. Too late, it’s all out there feeding humans in need.

I'm actually pretty interested in how much Republicans can paper over wrecking the lives of their voters with petty bigotries before they turn on them. Obviously, White Southerners have tolerated this for generations, but I think this is new for a lot of the GOP's base.

Hillsboro teen's emotional testimony highlights pleas from community for leaders to take further action amid increased ICE activity Many during a Tuesday city council meeting pleaded for leaders to do more amid increased immigration enforcement in the area.

Calls are growing for local authorities, including police, to be willing to confront ICE and protect their communities. These calls are only going to grow louder. Seeing local cops brag about shoplifting operations while residents are terrorized isn’t tenable. #oregon www.kgw.com/article/news...

US mortgages at 30 years are already at the high end compared to other wealthy countries, which are more likely to have 20 to 25 year terms. www.oecd.org/content/dam/... Every year the mortgage term is extended, the more interest the household is paying.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

They are already doing that.
