The Portland and Oregon reddits are now swarming with posts on where to buy inflatable frog costumes, who has the best prices, and how to donate them to the Resistance. And I just learned 3+ frogs is an "army".

I love this state.

White-collar workers are done with burnout, layoffs, and corporate spin. They’re organizing for fair pay and real power on the job. Union strength isn’t just for one class of worker—it’s for all workers. 💪 https://seiu.co/47qitOb
The future of white-collar work may be unionized
Law firms, banks and tech companies are seeing an uptick in employees choosing to join unions.

The Deseret News didn't print my letter to the editor, so I guess I can post it here.
Editor— Our dumb, wet president got on TV the other day to say that Tylenol causes autism, which it does not. The next day he rambled for an hour at the U.N. Your articles about these events painted over his embarrassing behavior and didn't push back at all on his lies. Uncritically repeating a cascade of lies told by a demented rapist would be irresponsible for any news outlet, but it's unconscionable for one owned by a church. This policy that the Deseret News and other right-wing outlets have of being stenographers for liars (as long as they're Republican) is harmful to America, and it's especially embarrassing for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to endorse it.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Firing someone purely for their political affiliation is illegal and is a violation of free speech.
Tweet from The Bulwark: “Q: ‘How many layoffs have you authorized?’ Trump: ‘A lot. It will be Democrat oriented… They should be Democrat oriented. It will be a lot and we’ll announce the numbers over the next couple of days... Many of them will be fired.’” Below, a photo shows Donald Trump speaking to reporters in the Oval Office surrounded by staff and press.
