Voters in conservative Wallowa Co. repealed a law requiring officials to discuss seceding to ID twice a year. The law was part of a GOP strategy to steal Electoral Collage votes from Dem states. The law passed in 2023 by just 12 votes. This year, Dems organized & repealed the law w/61% of the vote.

@klccoregon.bsky.social I just want to add my flowers to Eye5 along with the guy who called in during today's program. He said whatever changes you made to the program, today's show absolutely hit it out of the park. I agree that every song was effing fantastic. Keep doing what you do.

As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.

The decision to allow the government to collect the names and phone numbers of Jewish people on campus could allow the government to pursue similar tactics elsewhere.

As it turns out, the "Board of Peace" is just a real estate redevelopment for the super-rich, built on stolen land. So basically, at it's core, it's ethnic cleansing dressed up in diplomatic terms. This is beyond disgusting and immoral.

BREAKING NEWS: We just filed a lawsuit challenging a new policy that would force states to discriminate. Read more about what happened and why it matters in Oregon. #orpol #breakingnews

AG Rayfield sues HHS over policy forcing states
to discriminate

“Oregon has worked hard to expand access to medical choice and make sure everyone can get the care they need. This policy uses federal money to interfere with deeply personal medical decisions that belong to patients, families, and their doctors. Agencies shouldn’t be forced to take care away from people just to keep their funding.”

Today, AG Rayfield and a multistate coalition sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for unlawfully conditioning hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding on states’ agreement to discriminate against transgender people. Under a new HHS policy, recipients of federal health, education, and research funding must certify compliance with a presidential executive order that seeks to deny the existence of transgender people and impose rigid, unscientific definitions of sex.

Oregon law declares discrimination based on gender identity to be a serious matter of public concern that threatens individual rights and the foundations of a democratic society. Consistent with that policy, Oregon broadly prohibits discrimination based on gender identity in employment, education, health care, housing, and public accommodations, and specifically ensures that students, employees, and visitors in educational settings are protected from discrimination and harassment.

Democrats should absolutely demand that the $170 billion given to DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol to build a kidnapping machine that preys on Americans should be clawed back and spent on whatever their state or district actually needs.
