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...

On Sunday, the medical drama “The Pitt” won big at the Emmys, taking home the top prize for drama. Earlier this year, we spoke with one of the show's medical consultants about its spot-on depiction of the ER.

Looking back on what happened in 2001 and all that has come since, we must hold to the memories and examples of those who were lost, those who responded, and what it was like for this country to come together as one.

Judging by their rulings, the conservative justices of the Supreme Court believe that the use of race to improve political and economic outcomes for minorities is intolerable, but using race as a proxy for who does not belong in this country is permissible.
The Supreme Court says colleges can’t consider race. But ICE can.
So much for the justices' promise of a "colorblind Constitution."

I passed a pop quiz today. I was dining near campus when a retired professor came up to me and asked me two questions about the content of a video that I helped him with in the 1980s. The answers? 'Telescoping etiatus (sp?)' and 'Idaho Sand Dunes Tiger Beetle'.

Autistic people are far more likely to have encounters with police, often leading to violence. Victor should be alive and with his family today, and this finding is completely absurd. That boy is DEAD.
Everyone at the ACLU of Idaho was deeply disturbed upon learning of the circumstances around the officer-involved killing of Victor Perez, a 17-year-old Latino with Autism.

Yesterday's finding that officers acted within the bounds of the law but could've made better decisions is disappointing.
