The initial PPB press release was vague to make people believe the suspect killed the dog. Update: "K9 Kylo was unintentionally injured by police fire during the violent encounter with the homicide suspect. The decision was made to euthanize Kylo in consultation with the emergency veterinarian."

J6er and failed Christian Nationalist gubernatorial candidate, David Medina, applauds anti-progressive Portland Mayor Keith Wilson for campaigning against the progressive seated city councilors. It's not like the MAGAs will ever like or endorse Wilson but he is giving them ammo to attack Portland.

It has been eight days since Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez was shot by ICE while making a DoorDash delivery in Austin, Texas. He is currently facing a severe medical emergency. The bullet remains lodged in his back, and he is being held at the South Texas ICE Processing Center in Pearsall.

DOORDASH IS ABANDONING ITS DRIVERS
URGENT UPDATE:
8 days after ICE shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in the back while he was making a DoorDash delivery, the bullet remains in his body. Wilber is in agonizing pain inside a TX concentration camp, and the silence from DoorDash is deafening. A photo of Wilber smiling, before ICE shot him, is shown.

The leadership of the moment requires taking any and all action. That’s why me and @mitchgreen.bsky.social brought a policy to tax 400 mega corporations, give tax relief to 18,000 small businesses, and bring in $72 million in revenue to save city services like Parks, Fire, school lunches, PSR, etc

The devastation that Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires and mega corporations had on wealth inequality is profoundly under discussed. That’s why people ask if a meager increase in a local tax on a $100 million corporation is going to be a burden to the company. The scale of wealth is incomprehensible

A longish post which goes beyond the description of the heroic pause. This message is my takeaway

Screen shot from the post linked below. Text reads:
So here's how I would urge you all to celebrate Stanislav Petrov Day this year. Remember the example of the man who disobeyed orders to ignore what the cutting-edge computer system was telling him to do, and saved untold millions of lives in the process. Whatever an Al is telling you, whether it's a warning of a national security threat or a business efficiency" recommendation or healthcare "cost-saving" or personal "communication tips," do not trust it unreservedly. Do not let yourself become a meat-puppet for unthinking software because it's easier in the short run. Do not take irreversible actions, especially actions putting life at risk, due to AI guidance.

Disobey, always, rather than do something barbarous.

Rahm Emanuel's career has been built on the myth that he did a good job with candidate recruitment and campaigning in 2006 at the DCCC. The DCCC actually did a bad job that year in both its primary and general targets. He benefitted from a wave and recruitment by the netroots and groups like LCV.
