Honest story: I asked the spouse yesterday to cancel AppleTV because we don't watch it enough and I was aware that I intentionally left off the "+" for no reason. Now I realize I DID THAT FOR FREE. smdh

I just started watching it and am half way through season 3. I now realize there will be no season 4 and I am devastated. What an amazing show! These are my favorite characters ever.

Is Portland Burning? No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

According to the Worst "President" Ever,
Portland is β€œburning to the ground.”

The reality feels a lot different.
But how can you be sure?
A new website, isportlandburning.com
answers the question.

How?
Live cameras of the city,
fact-checked claims &
a live map of fire incidents in the city.

TBH, if you’re at the point of needing an assessment, I have never personally seen a case where the person passed. I would say trust the process. Primary care physicians can also weigh in if the person has a diagnosis that limits or prohibits driving.

So here’s a little known tip. You can avoid the family battle with an older adult who shouldn’t be driving by getting them a clinical driving assessment. Many health systems do it. Let them recommend taking away the keys. It’s easy, definitive and unbiased.

I had to flee the constant war in Portland and have sought refuge in Bend for a few days (business trip). #PDX #PortlandStrong

Dear Gary

The silence of this war is deafening. I shall imagine bombings to cancel out the quiet. Looking forward to that litter-free street. Stay strong.

Grown ass educated white men who blatantly lie to manipulate Americans who are too ignorant or racist to know the difference.

Portlanders raising signs protesting the Trump administration on the city's waterfront.

Portlanders raising signs protesting the Trump administration on the city's waterfront.

Heads up: For those wanting a peaceful, family-friendly way to protest Trump sending federal agents/troops into our city, there's a "No Federal Forces in Portland" rally and march being held today (Sunday 28) at Tom McCall Waterfront Park at the Battleship Memorial. Bring your signs and kids! πŸ‘€βœŠ
