Is Portland Burning?
No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

Portland is so peaceful Republicans had to go all the way to South America to find photos from years ago for their bad memes.
The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Despite the loss on Tuesday, Miles was awarded player of the game in his first game back after knee surgery. I'm so proud and happy to have him back and playing the sport he loves!

Unfortunately, Wilsonville scored in the second half and won 1-0. Tualatin had a chance to tie with a PK, but we missed. Miles also almost scored from the half line in the last thirty seconds from a free kick, but Wilsonville saved it off the line. Miles still had a great first game back though!

Tualatin and Wilsonville are tied 0-0 at halftime. Wilsonville has had majority possession, so Miles has seen lots of action. 3-4 saves and multiple corners caught. He's not looking rusty at all! Even his goal kicks are going the distance!

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

What happens when post-op trans women lose access to HRT?
• Rapid bone density loss, including fractures from basic falls
• Menopause (hot flashes, fatigue, brain fog)
• Forced detransition and depression
The U.S. government just did this to its own employees and their family members, on purpose.

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus.
Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet.
Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

this is what people mean by trans genocide
if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported
this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order
it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

“The administration’s war on D.E.I. is of a piece with a broader effort to turn the nation’s civil rights laws upside down, taking weapons forged to fight racial subordination and wielding them, instead, against any effort…to ameliorate racial inequality and end invidious racial discrimination.”
Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights
The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

In toxic cultures, being a workaholic is normalized and sacrificing sleep is glorified. The best way to get ahead is to burn out.
In healthy cultures, quality of life is expected and having a life is celebrated. You're encouraged to put your well-being above your work.

Is there a setting in Bluesky that makes it so the default screen starts at the last posts read rather than going straight to newest? First world problem, I know, but it's a pain to have to scroll down and read posts out of order and try to figure out where I was when I last closed the app.
