DANISH PARLIAMENT MEMBER: “🇺🇸 had 30 bases on Greenland, why did you leave? You can resume that tomorrow without attacking a NATO ally… the rationale lacks factual foundation and doesn’t stand any logic testing.”

NEW: In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, plaintiffs who live in housing across the street from Portland's ICE facility today filed a preliminary injunction motion to bar the feds from shooting tear gas, etc., when not necessary, because it keeps entering their homes.

Why do these people think the US is the only country that uses wide?

If only this was a known thing and the agencies worked together.

Oh, wait, they have since 2011.

Video essay: That OU Essay Is Supposed to Be Bad

I approached the OU essay as an editor and realized it didn’t want to be fixed.

Thoughts on craft, refusal, ugliness, and why some writing is bad on purpose.

(Weekends are the perfect time for new content, right?)

Did you know that the US hasn’t had an ambassador in Moscow in 6 months?

Or that our chief envoy to Russia won’t take briefings from the CIA?

But wait, there’s more. Much more in this 6-byline WSJ piece on the Witkoff-Putin axis.

Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.

Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

Wow, that must be so terrifying to think you're being abducted.

Not only does this story get a number of basic facts wrong, it doesn’t take time to actually explore why Portlanders elected these folks. Coming in with a pre-baked PDX story to fit a NYT narrative about NYC is harmful, especially at this moment.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.
