Free speech? Really? It cost Jimmy Kimmel his job.
“U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement made clear detention limitation commitments to our community, and we believe they broke those policies more than two dozen times,” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said in a statement.
This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Whether you agreed with Charlie Kirk or not, the right to express yourself freely without fear of being shot is one of the things that makes our country great. Using his death as a pretense for an authoritarian crackdown on free speech is abhorrent and anti-American.
Everyone should be held to the same standards.
Weird, indeed.
I seem to recall the right storming the Capitol on January 6th and beating police officers with the U.S. flag.
“You look happier.” “Thanks, I’m on Bluesky.”
This stinks to high heaven.
Louie died at the age of 79 on Monday, leaving his son to manage operations alongside Louie’s siblings.
Who wants to tell him they call this “Mexican Coke”?
Thousands of people descended upon downtown Portland for the annual Pride parade on Sunday, filling the streets with an ocean of color and songs.
As Heather Cox Richardson writes, The Epstein story is about more than the sex trafficking of girls. It's also about rich and privileged people evading accountability for breaking the law." People like Donald Trump, in other words.
Trump wants to go back to a racist name and logo but folks have other ideas.
Highly unsettling!
The Trump administration’s first six months back in office have been defined by chaos, cruelty, and incompetence, with polls showing that the very voters who put Trump back in office are now souring on his leadership.
Congratulations on learning absolutely nothing about making deals with him, Senator.
TFW you realize that none of the people you’re debating even want democracy, equality, or the rule of law.
Imagine if Trump trying to explain the world to you was part of your daily job.
We have to reset our priorities from top to bottom.
In today’s episode of “Very Important Presidential Matters”…
This is extraordinarily creepy and troubling.
27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.
The Internet wins again 💀😂😅🤣
The parade, which is the biggest Pride parade in Oregon, kicks off at 11 a.m. on Sunday in Old Town.
New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.
Oregon and 14 other states have sued the Trump administration over its plan to allow the sale of forced-reset triggers that make semiautomatic rifles fire more rapidly and to return devices already seized to their owners.
It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.
Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks. The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.
MAGA world is turning on itself, and I’m not mad about it. This Week In Wins covers it all, including Trump’s “big beautiful bill” flailing in the Senate, popcorn-worthy Republican infighting, and a huge special election win for Dems in South Carolina. Catch up and enjoy the highlights.
Here's your LAPD when they think no one's looking
Protesters instigating violence in Boston, March 5, 1770.
This is absolutely reprehensible.
The similarities continue..
The hypocrisy...
It's Fleet Week in Portland, which means some big military ships will be cruising up the Willamette River to help celebrate the annual Rose Festival. It also means commuters should be prepared for some longer than normal bridge lifts that could back up traffic.
We’re waiting, JD.
Canadians make up the largest proportion—nearly 28 percent—of international travelers visiting Florida. They also comprise the largest number of international visitors for the entire United States. But that comfortable relationship may be taking a turn.

There’s always a tweet with these folks.

While Donald Trump sucks up to Saudi Arabia, I’d like some actual answers about what the Saudis are doing to help their nationals evade U.S. justice -- and what Marco Rubio is doing about it.
It’s plain for all to see.

To the woman at the matinee performance of Tosca at @seattleopera.bsky.social wearing light sabers in her hair. Happy May 4th!!
In the last days of the Vietnam War, nuns in Mt. Angel received a call asking if they could take in over 160 Vietnamese children and nuns fleeing Saigon. With only hours to prepare, volunteers transformed the town's empty beer hall into a shelter.
We don't have a government anymore. It's somewhere between a melee and a clusterfuck. 🙄I need a break from it today. See y'all tomorrow. ☮️+💙
The “but her emails” crowd are now cheering on drunken rapist idiot Pete Hegseth for sending out classified military intel on Signal Chat not once but twice and not just to a reporter but to his wife and brother. He should be in jail, not running the Pentagon.
So Rfk, jr is launching an effort to track autistic people using private medical records. You know in his heart he would like to kill them.
Dear Neighbour: I am so concerned for you. You are being threatened and abused by your leader - but no one is coming to rescue you. You must save yourself. We are cheering for you! Hugs, 🇨🇦 www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...
A week after Harvard University refused to comply with Trump administration demands, the presidents of Lewis & Clark College, Willamette University and Reed College are denouncing the cascade of federal actions that have thrown higher education institutions nationwide into financial uncertainty.
Careful, Donald — courage is contagious.
And if they had the power to spring Tate out of Romania, they have the power to spring Abrego García out of El Salvador.
This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”
We must make our stand here.
Never forget.
It should go without saying but... if you don’t understand it, don’t legislate about it.
Trump sure prefers a certain type.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are here.
👉 The "Republic of Texas" in 1845. 😲 Just look at the vast amount of "Indian Territory" the U.S. Government stole from Indigenous Peoples by NOT honoring any treaties made since 1845‼️
Lawless corruption on an unprecedented level.
Sadly true
Lags in Yakima County’s court system reflect a breaking point in Washington state’s public defense system. A shortage of public defenders leaves indigent defendants waiting weeks, sometimes months for an attorney.
You tell 'em, AOC!
The White House Press Secretary tried to convince reporters that Trump's sudden reversal on his proposed tariffs was actually all part of his master plan—but nobody's buying it.
Also: Karoline Leavitt suddenly worried about denying reality.
And this is why countries are dumping their U.S. treasuries and dollars.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"
I totally fell in love with her sign. My sentiments exactly.
NOW would be a good time for someone or a group of people to start a replacement for Facebook just as Bluesky has replaced Twitter! www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...

Due process just means making you follow the rules and letting judges determine if you did. How is that bad? It’s literally part of why we rebelled against Great Britain.
