How ICE Is Weaponizing Social Media Against Its Critics

The agency says its surveillance program searches for threats to agents, but critics see free-speech infringements.

Like Tom Holland's "Umbrella", there should be an #RCTID rule for this clip that every time you see it, you need to repost it.

still enjoying this! #RCTID

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

@kelseybaker.bsky.social is so good with a camera. #RCTID

This is a great article. I still have my boots from when I was on a shot crew back in the early 90s. Mine were handmade in Portland, but I can’t remember the name. Their storefront was in Sellwood.

These boots are the safest for US wildland firefighters. Fewer and fewer can afford them

The handcrafted leather boots are a century-old tradition – but with money tight, the cost of up to $800 is harder to justify

Somebody needs to be building a roster of people to vindictively staff a Democratic administration in 2029. And somebody else needs to find this guy and put him on that list, with “to go through every fucking file” in the notes column.

This is going to make it very difficult to know which sports we should ban them from.

Some avocados are female in the morning and male in the afternoon, while others are on the opposite schedule. This helps them avoid self-pollination. How do they do it? A @ucdavis.bsky.social study explains. www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/st...

Thank you so much to Coach Vilahamn for taking the time out to join us for a Q&A last night! It was a ton of fun and we look forward to doing this more! For those that couldn’t make it, the video is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOUi... #BAONPDX

Great Q&A with Robert Vilahamn at the @107ist.org Axe & Rose/Legends/whatever else it is called. Was a bit surprised more people didn’t take the opportunity to hear from him directly. I think the Thorns got a good one. #BAONPDX

"Rather than being born a Kennedy, or a Rockefeller, the old man had been born to a family of modest centimillionaires. Having a Kennedy in his employ could not make up for those humiliatingly humble roots. Besides, the Kennedy working for him was the lowliest Kennedy."

The Old Man and the Strait

“The old man thought about how everyone was constantly rigging things against him. The Strait must be another one of those things. There could be no other lo...

My favorite genre of soccer photo remains "goalkeeper falling backward into own net after goal has been scored." This is unofficially referred to as a "Guzan," and Rafael Cabral paid tribute to the iconic goalkeeper last night. Congratulations to him.

Whew, just in time to get replaced by AI. Oh wait, that’s your marketing staff.

621 days since her last match. There is no one like Morgan. Welcome back to the pitch, Weavs ❤️

Not a fan of Emily Sonnet being stretchered off less than ten minutes into the match

Isn’t EVERY night at a Thorns game “Pride Night”? #BAONPDX

Ahhh, petrichor!

Pretty serious t-storm rolling up the valley towards downtown, will be a race with the devil for the end of the Timbers game

Well that was garbage

Providence Park is so great! As it turns out, the owner of the primary tenant of a city-owned stadium/arena in Portland ~can~ invest 9-figures of private funds into renovations/expansions! #RCTID

This is such a great piece!

In February, USA Rugby banned trans women from all levels of one of the world’s most inclusive sports. What happened next was telling. Across the country, teams refused to comply. The story of the Baltimore Ferals, who are pushing back: www.thebanner.com/sports/rugby...

This is a great remembrance of an icon in the Portland brewing community. Fred was the beer everyone talked about but Adam was always my favorite. I’m sad I don’t have one in the cellar to celebrate Alan’s life. I guess a Doggie Claws will have to do.

Jeff Alworth@beervana.bsky.social · 2w ago

And here’s my remembrance.

Lots of brands affected.

Have thought this was it all along, but very succinctly stated.

I have yet to read a better summation of Trump and his administration(s) than this. Trying to divine any motivation for his actions other than “he’s a dumb, shitty person who only cares about himself” is wasted energy. as much as we don’t like to think things are that simple, sometimes they are!

Pete Hegseth: "We need our warriors to embrace the Spartan mindset" U.S. Military: *suffers crushing defeat to the Persians*

Stories like this are one of the best examples of why we need independent journalism

Nice.

Does Hansome Jack know that Kelsey has to be subbed out now?
