Yesterday was the anniversary of the fall of Tenotchtitlan August 13, 1521, after a 75-day seige. Tenotchtitlan became Mexico City.
Yesterday, I was shot in the feet and head for standing on an open public city sidewalk in the neighborhood I live in.
There is no 1st Amendment in Portland, Oregon.

What minerals? What does Alaska have that putin can profit from that he doesn't already have or gets from China?
This story is weak.

Alaska Stands With Ukraine (Anchorage) · Stand UP Alaska Stand with us in Anchorage, Alaska, as we rally against the presence of an international war criminal in our great state. With the governor's approval, the president has extended an invitation to…

Join us in Anchorage to protest the invitation of Vladimir Putin to Alaska. We're sending a strong message to Donald Trump and Putin that our state opposes authoritarianism. Raise your voice!

The fun part is that the red states are already gerrymandered and its hard for them to gerrymander any further. That's why Texas put out that crazy map. Got to break a lot of rules to game the system. And theyre ok with that.

Now for the old tomatoes and eggs

If Putin reneges on any agreement like Stalin did after Yalta (and he certainly will), then it may be a very clean comparison.

Squadristi bullies.
Like a bunch of rude tourists taking up the whole sidewalk on their stroll.

Severe consequences for who? Ukraine I suppose.

Yep.

Far-right discourse on crime has *nothing* to do with crime.

It’s irrational cowards obsessed with myths, urban legends, and rank prejudice talking themselves into believing their delusions have an association with reality.

Far-right fear of crime should be in the next edition of the DSM-VI.

This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.

LAPD & LA County Sheriff CAN arrest anyone committing a state crime — even a fed. Under PC 422.6, targeting someone for race/nationality is a hate crime “under color of law.” No permission needed. Do your job. #PC836 #PC4226 #StopTheCoup

Imports plunge at Seattle, Tacoma ports as tariffs take toll A sharp drop in shipping volume threatens local businesses that rely on steady two-way trade.

International imports recently dropped by a quarter — in a week — at the ports of Seattle and Tacoma.

We knew this would happen, yet President Trump started and continues to escalate a reckless trade war.

Washington state employee and 6-year-old son detained by ICE Sarah Shaw crossed into Canada mistakenly thinking she had the proper visa to return home to Everett. She and her 6-year-old son are now being held in Texas.

This is tyranny.

That was posted yesterday. For the march yesterday from Dupont Circle . I haven't heard if another is organized for today.

Good one, Seth.

The tone deafness of #MGPisGOP. She is posting about how being able to go to fair makes her proud to be an American while a fascist President is seizing control of local police for his personal use. Our Sec of Defense posted she shouldn't have the right to vote! STAND UP MGP!
