Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Trump administration sues Oregon to force it to turn over full information about every state voter "I look forward to seeing them in court," Oregon's secretary of state said.

Oregon has been the national leader on vote-by-mail for decades. Now Donald Trump thinks he can undermine our elections for his own benefit. Hell no.

I visited once in the mid-90's looking for Les Baxter records along with a few soundtracks. Sanders was gruff but very helpful and I found what I was looking for. But what did disturb me was the frail dog covered in open soars resting in it's bed near the front door.

"I was listening to it last week, and no one sounds like that. Discovering him and everything he’s made, it felt like a door into another world. In that sense, it’s monumental for me."

claire rousay has announced a new album: a little death (out October 31st)

The end to an unofficial trilogy (A Heavenly Touch, a softer focus, a little death), claire says "all three records were approached and constructed in similar ways - pulling sounds from lived experience"
