Another beautiful autumn day in Portland. Maybe when the military comes they would like to go paddle boarding, kayaking or on a hike? They’ll need something to do.

Another beautiful autumn day in Portland, OR.

Dear @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app
I follow #quiltsky for my love of quilting. HOWEVER, people randomly tag someone and throw their "fundraising" ask in there. I have no idea who they are or if they are legit. The hijacking of #quiltsky SO many times by SO many accounts means a lot of blocking.😡

In a handicraft moment, I made this little list for you. I hope you enjoy it.

Hitler committed suicide.
Mussolini was shot and then his corpse was attacked and hung.
Pinochet died under house arrest, while facing criminal charges in Europe and in Chile.
Idi Amin died in exile.
The Shah of Iran died in exile.
Pol Pot died under house arrest.
Mobutu died in exile.
Ceausescu and his wife were executed by firing squad.
Saddam Hussein was hung.
The Dominican Republic's Rafael Trujillo was assassinated.
The last Somoza dictator was assassinated in exile after being overthrown.
Paraguay's Alfredo Stroessner, Colombia's Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, and Marcos Pérez Jiménez all died in exile.
Argentina's Jorge Rafael Videla died while serving a fifty-year sentence.
Ferdinand Marcos died in exile.
Only last winter Assad fled Syria; only last summer Sheikh Hasina fled Bangladesh.
That hasn't been the fate of all dictators but for many of them the chapters after their power crumbled were not what they would have written. Nor is this reassurance that justice or democracy always wins or dismissal of the damage each of them did. I was just thinking and then decided to compile a list.

My cutting station hack for @laurashawquilts.bsky.social.
#quiltsky

Trimming quilt blocks on a cutting mat set on a cutting board on top of my ironing board watching Alvin Bragg announce 34 indictments of what’s-his-name. A happy day a long long time ago.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

So, according to Jake Tapper, Joe Biden was so infirm, so cognitively vacant, so frail and feeble, so incompetent that he was utterly unfit to serve & yet, at the very same time, he was able to hide all of that from the press, including the likes of Jake fucking Tapper?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?
