LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE DESPERATELY RUNNING 26 MILES, 385 YARDS TO ESCAPE A WAR ZONE
It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

🚨REMINDER: Open Enrollment for Medicare is October 15 - December 7 for 2026. I would encourage those on Medicare (non MA), to research their supplemental/Medigap premiums. Also, please review your Part D RX plan as well. For 2026 you will enter catastrophic care for OOP RX at $2100. PLEASE REPOST 🙏🙏

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Fact check:
mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).
This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.
Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.

Wherever you land on the issues, I think the vast majority of us are strongly against the vile murders of October 7 and also strongly against an entirely avoidable mass starvation of a vulnerable people.
Let’s end the false equivalences. This has to stop now.

My latest story: The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations. The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary RFK Jr. www.propublica.org/article/meas...

The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status.
I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

Good to see: Senator Klobuchar weighs in on our story about Trump's State Department terminating a contract involving the tracking of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia, a potential war crime. Hopefully more Dems will register outrage about this:
The Trump administration shut down a program tracking Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. Canceling this program doesn’t just undermine justice—it helps war criminals.

Trump Admin Nixed Contract Helping Kidnapped Ukrainian Children
The fate of abducted Ukrainian children is a white-hot issue for peace negotiations—and it looks like the State Department may have just undercut the cause.

JD Vance best watch this vid ‘cuz yesterday he bitched that his 3-yr-old was scared by a group of protesters shouting “Slava Ukraini.”
The hypocrisy is staggering: This girl lost her leg in a Russian attack & is a symbol of the unyielding strength of the Ukrainian people who are fighting pure evil.
