I am a freelance writer in Portland, Oregon, focusing on agriculture and field-to-plate issues. My blog, Good Stuff NW, is about my journey to connect the dots between what's happening in the field and what I'm putting on my table: https://goodstuffnw.com
The right-wing outrage machine is working overtime to villify Mark Doxtader's Tastebud restaurant for claiming "food is political." Read about it here: goodstuffnw.com/2026/02/loca...

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

Four red Bartlett pears had been sitting on the counter for well over a week, but when I cut one open it was very ripe but perfectly fine. Get the recipe for this Lemony Pear Ginger jam at: www.goodstuffnw.com/2025/08/an-i...

In Minnesota, the federal government is no longer a trusted authority—it’s an active threat. After ICE’s massive deployment and fatal shooting of a Minneapolis resident, Governor Tim Walz has put the National Guard on alert and focused his efforts on defending his state from the regime’s extremism.

Homeland Security‘s social media gets more unhinged and master-race-y every day. Today they want us to believe that terrorizing immigrants is “the fight for western civilization.”
