Did my tree pruning for the winter and had a bunch of branches without a use. With only a couple tools I made a whistle in 15 minutes, in case you might need a whistle some day soon. 🌱

The Portland Housing Bureau has found additional unspent dollars in its coffers, adding to the previous $21 million it found through an audit last year. The uncovered funds could impact two pieces of Council business this week.

Oh no.
A Wyoming housing proposal would put a private development on national forest land. It would set a precedent for carving up public lands whenever local housing or economic pressure mounts.
It's a small project, but a terrible precedent to set.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

We’re crushed to hear that Catherine O’Hara has left us. Horror fans know her work in BEETLEJUICE and THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (as well as a memorable appearance in TALES FROM THE CRYPT), but her body of creativity beyond genre is an epic one. Our condolences to all who loved her.

I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

Now we are hearing from @crockett.house.gov. She is describing the conditions that children like Liam are experiencing at Dilley. Education is thwarted; kids aren't eating. Crockett says she spoke with a 16-year-old who has been there with their family (including younger siblings) for 8 months.
