I’m from the Portland area. We like our coffee pretentious and pretend our beer is not. We’ll line up for hours to get a chance to feed carrots to the local therapy llamas and once made a roll of old airport carpet the grand marshal of our yearly rose parade. So, like, yeah—totally “War-ravaged.”

USAID is gone. Soft power aside, USAID saved lives.

80 years.
80 years ago—with the help of Canadian, British, Polish, Dutch, and American troops—my family was liberated from a horrible, evil, muderous fascist regime.
These are stories that I grew up with.
80 years. And still free. Happy Liberation Day.

Apparently someone has never been to Boston….
I mean, its…Boston. Is this really the way you want to approach people who walk the land of the revolutionaries?

I’ll drop everything to go chase after a rainbow.
Today’s was faint, but man…I’ll take it.
And in case I post nothing else today, here’s a reminder:
Ukraine is a sovereign nation. Russia has no claim to it—no matter what Putin, Trump, Vance or anyone else tells you.
Slava Ukraini.

I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love, I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost

Tonight, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we light a candle to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
We do so in memory of all the souls who passed through those gates—both living and dead.
“For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.”
— Elie Wiesel

ICE raids are coming to the Portland area. It’s not a matter of if but…when.
Here are some tips as to how I would suggest the average (documented) citizen should respond.
1) Someone’s status is not your business. Do not ask. Even if you are trying to be helpful. Do. Not. Ask.
