Remember when Trump said he’d go after the “worst of the worst?” ICE just targeted a U.S. citizen high school student. That is not public safety—it’s cruelty.
ICE detains 4 U.S. citizens in Oregon this week, advocacy group says
They included a 17-year-old high school student and two women filming ICE activity in Canby.

That is my long-time go-to car wash. Folks there always seem really nice.

RIP, my frequent double scull partner Ellen Spear. The obituary is nice. I got to see the rowing side of her, that side of her was focused and very tough. We raced together this summer; cancer went fast enough to leave all of us who rowed with her in shock. www.berkshireeagle.com/news/local/b...

A good friend described to me meeting in 2012 or thereabouts with some billionaires who supported Obama in 2008 but had turned on him by 2012. He said the billionaires told him that President Obama had been way too mean to Wall Street, he had said some very, very hurtful things about Wall Street.
Mr. Obama sir we tried to tell you that you were running with a bad crowd (billionaires), they’re bad news
