Old cat lady who loves dogs just as much. I’m not much of a poster, but I love learning, so I spend most of my time here reading and sometimes laughing. South of Portland, north of Eugene

Same, and I tend to blame them for most of the mess because goldfinches and their cousins lesser goldfinch would never leave a mess like that 😀

When I was younger (much) insurance of any kind was something you bought hoping you would never have something bad enough happen to need it. I still treat my insurance that way, but I know it’s not how most do.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Oregon has a long history as a datacenter state. But a new study details a wild imbalance that comes with the industry. Data centers consume ~23% of the state's electricity, but provide jobs for just 0.2% of the state's workforce
opb.org
Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report
A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

This - I remember feeling horrified at what happened, hundreds were still missing and Bush told us if we needed to start spending $$ again and going about life because “they” were happy when we weren’t. Didn’t feel right then and it still doesn’t as we move on so quickly from school shootings, etc..

Here in my county in Oregon I receive a text when it’s sent and when they receive it back for counting. I do plan on using a drop of box this year, our SOS has asked for more this year because of this. In this state I think the GOP will be the most affected,many are rural with no drop box access

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

Pope Leo, in a letter to the U.S. on its 250th anniversary, makes a point to champion welcoming immigrants, arguing doing so is part of the Catholic Church’s larger concern for life. Full letter here: www.usccb.org/resources/48...
Defending human life also includes welcoming, protecting and assisting immigrants, whose hopes, sacrifices and contribution have formed part of the history of this country from its very beginning. In every generation, those who have arrived seeking freedom, opportunity and a place to belong have helped to shape the nation's character. To receive them with compassion and generosity is not only an act of charity, but also a recognition of the dignity that belongs to every human person.
