Missing teen with autism transferred to refugee facility by HPD He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

I'd add just one wrinkle to what C.E. has said here--and that has to do with the place of Portland in the imaginations of the more reactionary Oregon libertarians who live outside of Portland (or Eugene). Nothing says "Oregon libertarian" like wanting to impose authoritarian control over Portland.

I'm so old, I remember them going with "Obama bin Laden is funding the anti-WTO protests" back in 2000.

so, this weekend the great Dr. Demento did his final show. I could write a lot about the importance of his show to me & my friends when we were 12 and 13. there's more to it than "he played funny stuff" and "his show is where @alyankovic.bsky.social got his start." 1/3

How is RFK Jr going to answer questions put to him about his boss having access to, and obtaining a COVID vaccination when he's ready to chuck the vaccines?

For me, not for thee.

Regarding the Compact | MIT Organization Chart

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration.
MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

President Donald Trump's threatened crackdown on the finances and activities of liberal non-profits and groups opposed to his agenda is a multi-agency effort with top White House aide Stephen Miller playing a central role, according to officials.

more and more I am convinced a good share of why Trump 2 is so much worse than before is because of what Elon did to Twitter. it's like those group chats where people gassed themselves up to join ISIS, scaled up a millionfold

👀 Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with Republicans on Obamacare funding, saying she’s not a fan of the law but demands action to prevent a premium hike. “I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year.” She says GOP leaders don’t have a plan.

You can’t get anti-institutionalists to trust an institution I will stipulate at the outset that I do not know how to reverse the long trend toward distrust in traditional American news sources. There's probably a solution out there, likely something involving ...

I was curious if The Post's shift to accommodating the right was yielding any distinct benefit to the paper. To this point, it hasn't — and it's hard to see why it would.

Oregon Republicans know they can't use an image of the actual (small, tame) protest in Portland to illustrate Trump's fever dream and their fake intel, so they had to make one from stock photos of South American "Policia" leaning on riot shields + what looks like Brazilian football fans with flares

If you were young in the '90s and lived in Portland, this song may make you happy.

Look for "Portland How I Miss You."

The whole album is available on Spotify. Added to your playlist. It'll help us out with the algorithm and I promise you you'll like it. 😁
