USPS blue mailboxes are stamped with year of manufacture. This is one of the oldest ones I've seen in a while. I am lots of fun at parties.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Wouldn't this -- peaceful, pervasive, and soon -- be the action most likely to force positive change? Wondering why we aren't seeing calls from large orgs.
"Minnesotans are doing all they can, but they can’t keep fighting alone," writes @soleilho.com. "It’s time for a nationwide general strike: a coordinated withdrawal of labor across industries and regions until ICE is abolished."

There is no left-wing violence in Chicago or Portland. It simply is not happening.
It's so not happening, in fact, that Republicans in Oregon took footage from two South American countries to create a hoax photo about Portland.
They have no actual violent footage to put forward.

Portland is a peaceful, vibrant city with no need for federal agents on our streets. I urge Oregonians not to fall into Trump’s attempt to incite violence. Just as I did in 2020, I will lead our delegation and state officials to oppose any unjustified increase in federal forces.

I’ll be in Portland today watching a soccer match, eating dinner outside (it’s a beautiful fall day here), maybe going to a bookstore because life in Portland is totally normal. But in case I’m met with the “full force” of the US military during my regular rounds, it was nice knowing you all.

California's first solar-covered canal is now fully online
The 1.6-MW pilot system is among a growing number of initiatives to put solar over waterways. The approach could generate gigawatts of power nationwide.

Big news: California, Oregon and Washington State just announced a joint "West Coast Health Alliance" to counter Trump/RFK destruction of our public health system.
As I argued last week (see below), this is becoming a new frontier in Dem Gov resistance to Trump.
