Putin picked Budapest. In my experience, the boss decides where performance reviews take place.

Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District is the state’s only Republican seat. It represents 16.55% of the Oregon population, but 22% of the state’s #SNAP participants. In 10 days, all SNAP benefits will stop. You okay with that, Rep. Cliff Bentz? www.kgw.com/article/life...
Government shutdown to halt SNAP benefits for 757,000 Oregonians
The Oregon Department of Human Services is notifying residents they may not receive new SNAP benefits after Oct. 31 because of the federal shutdown.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Mark Levy performs “Keep the Faith” at the #NoKings rally in Florence, Oregon. He wrote it years ago in the great American protest song tradition.

Sounds to me like we have the answer. What SC deserves is consequences.

ProPublica reports that ICE fascists have detained at least 170 US CITIZENS. ICE fascists "dragged, tackled, beat, tased, and shot them." At least 3 women were pregnant, one had her door blown off while Noem watched.

All have one thing in common—they're brown Latino Americans.

This Is Fascism.

On Thursday night, the Woodburn Education Association, which represents more than 300 licensed educators in the mid-Willamette Valley school district, proposed a new article to the contract currently being negotiated — protecting staff from Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Woodburn educators propose protections from ICE as part of their employee contract
The teachers union is looking for ways to bolster protection for staff and students amid influx of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in communities across the state.

Good news! In the past 24 hrs, a judge extended a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking National Guard deployment to Portland for another 14 days; a federal appeals court upheld a similar TRO in Chicago; and a judge ordered ICE officers to wear body cameras in Chicago. #BabyAnimalsHaveGoodNews

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. — ProPublica
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

We’re not just on the brink of martial law; we’re on the brink of civil war. I don’t see how we get out of this nonviolently, unless state Adjutant Generals and National Guard rank-and-file start refusing Trump’s orders.
