The Trump indictment lays out, in exact details, how named senior administration officials planned to stage their coup and then use the US military to violently crush all of us when we took to the streets. It's stunning.

Marion County Commissioners sign off on millions in contracts every month.

The public records that document these contracts are buried on the county website as hundreds of pages of clunky PDFs.

We created the Marion County Public Spending Digest to help shine some light on billions in spending.

Cops in San Francisco attacked a group of children at an annual skate event today using riot gear causing a mass panic.

Completely unprovoked, cops kettled, beat, and fired munitions at the teens. 50-60 were trapped by cops w/o food, water, or medical for hours from the afternoon past midnight.

Oregon’s GOP continues to distill itself down to the worst people advancing the worst ideas.

Sure, these ideas & conspiracies keep their base feeling righteously hopeful.

But outside that bubble, where truth and reality live, courts seem to have little patience for their infinite shenanigans.

If you live in western Oregon, there’s a chance you’ve heard of Caesar the No Drama Llama.

Unfortunately, drama had located Caesar and his owner, Larry McCool. Drama in the form of a lunatic right-wing extremist targeting the beloved llama because of (checks notes)…a beer company.

On the surface, Keizer, Oregon, Mayor Cathy Clark inviting a local school board director to a city council meeting to talk about the issue of youth suicide doesn’t raise any red flags.

But the invitation, and Salem-Keizer School Board Director Satya Chandragiri’s presentation, were bizarre.

I'm serious when I say that STEM without the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities will produce more "innovative" tech bros who giddily reinvent rent, roommates, taxes, and...roller skates. With complete, straight-faced, sincerity. This is a problem. And I have a list (So, a thread )

"they had been warning of the submersible’s design flaws for more than five years, filing complaints to the U.S. government and to OceanGate itself, and pleading with Rush to abandon his aspirations."
The Titan Submersible Was “An Accident Waiting to Happen”
Interviews and e-mails with expedition leaders and employees reveal how OceanGate ignored desperate warnings from inside and outside the company. “It’s a lemon,” one wrote.

In some ways, Keizer, Oregon, is trapped.

Its aging population is programmed to vote for the most staunch Republicans possible.

That leaves us with state legislators that can't even manage the basics.
