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.

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.

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.
