Great turnout and vibes in Enterprise, Oregon @wyden.senate.gov #NoKings

Two protestors in T Rex suits with signs that read "No Rex." They have a golden-haired dog on leash.

Protest sign that reads" True patriotism is defending democracy, equality & the rule of law."

Protest sign that reads: "No Kings, No Clowns." American flags wave on either side.

Protestors line street with county courthouse and blue sky behind and a horse-drawn carriage in front.

#NoKings protest in Enterprise, Oregon. We're rural and remote, but we consistently show up to support democracy. #Oregon

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

What Happened to The Migrants The U.S. Dumped In Panama? Nearly 300 people were sent to a country they’d never lived in. The journey didn’t end there.

his summer, I went to Panama and met Jharana, a 33-year-old from Nepal who had been deported there in a group of 300 others — the 1st group to be sent to a third country. I wrote about what happened to her and others over the year for

I moved from Portland to the far NE corner of Oregon. I love my quiet life here but also miss a lot about my former home these days. Keep it weird, Portland.

Please don't let Kristi near our dogs.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

Autistic moms are livid after Trump and RFK Jr blame Tylenol — and them Autistic moms tell Eric Garcia that they fear Trump’s outlandish and conspiratorial claims about autism and Tylenol both erase their needs and those of their children

I interviewed #ActuallyAutistic moms about their reactions to Trump uring pregnant women not to take Tylenol and his anti-vaccine claims. They are a mix of livid, disheartened and frustrated that once again, their experiences as autistic women is erased.

Sending love to my former hometown of Portland. I hope you and @tinakotek.bsky.social and other elected officials push back hard on this assault.

I encourage all the media outlets who are about to send people to ”war ravaged” Portland to think twice. Some of the strongest extremism reporters in the country live in this region; journalists who understand the culture of the Northwest and the history of activism here. Do it right this time okay?

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

The great Dakota artist Oscar Howe's 1959 painting of Wounded Knee. No matter what Whiskey Pete says, it was a massacre not a battle.

Writing about this right now. We've had five-plus years of educators being ousted by MAGA. Can we go back and restore those folks' careers, safety, and peace of mind?

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

I think…people’s obsession with “a cause”…is precisely because autism’s genetic randomness is hard to stratify by social class……………..

Autism does not need to be cured

Ableism does

I already canceled the @washingtonpost.com. I wish I could cancel again.

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence.

For all those who think their power and wealth will protect them...I give you Nepal.

Gen Z stands up to expose corruption in Nepal Youth-led demonstrations against corruption erupted throughout Nepal on Monday September 8, 2025, resulting in at least 19 deaths and over 350 injuries.

"Youth-led demonstrations against corruption erupted throughout Nepal on Monday, resulting in over 19 deaths and over 350 injuries. The protests were triggered by anger over impunity on corruption, the prevalence of nepotism, & the nationwide ban on social media."

A very hot day in the table Grape harvest.

Farm workers were hurrying to wrap up their day at noon on this day as the temp reached 100° in Bakersfield CA. These workers had been at work since 6am earning minimum wage for their work in the table grape harvest. #WeFeedYou

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
