“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” she said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago.

The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Renee Good was her name.

No money for SNAP benefits and no money to pay air traffic controllers, but plenty of money for ICE. wtf

😬

It shouldn't be lost that the East Wing held all the offices of the first lady and the social secretary. They tore down the offices typically reserved for women to build this gaudy wannabe Versailles ballroom.

That’s $5 billion more than the entire annual USAID budget. All to one country. To rescue one friend of the president’s.

Remarkable effort to note where DC neighbors are being grabbed by ICE

When the secret police lie to you, normalize telling them they are fucking liars.

There are certain hypotheticals you simply never get to test out. This seems to be an exception. How will a judge and later a jury treat an indictment if you had to fire multiple prosecutors before you could find someone to bring an indictment. I guess we'll find out! www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p...

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

Dolly Parton is living proof that it’s possible to become successful and stay a good person who gives back and I love that so much

You don’t know what to believe about Portland? Why don’t you just Google all of our traffic cameras?
There’s so many publicly accessible cameras in the city.

Trump's FCC yesterday voted to kill a program that provided free Wi-Fi to rural school kids at no cost to taxpayers, falsely claiming the program was "illegal" and was being used to "censor Conservative ideology."

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

A step in the right direction.

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

Why would you use these words, @opb.org ?

@opb.org
Hey OPB news. Can we use words in articles like this that don’t just feed the administration’s agenda. I can understand the language, but come on. How about “As Portland denounces troop mobilization…”

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

I had no response to that and froze up.
The 2 people with me had my back. One turned to me and said, “in his fucking little Kia?”
