Rebecca Solnit comments on Trump's attack on Portland, Oregon"

"This is as malevolent as it is ridiculous, this threat to invade Portland militarily. It's striking that witht this administration, the more extreme it becomes, the more unpopular it becomes, but the more unpopular it becomes the more extreme it becomes."

Teaching students from both fields, linguistics and engineering—separately, no shared courses—I witness two kinds of growing resistance towards the use of #GenAI:

- low quality output needs too much effort to fix manually
- low quality output is not worth the high amounts of energy it costs

Future linguists argue with efficiency, future engineers with resources. Ethics comes much later, but is a shared concern. Anyway, I see justified refusal

Trump’s rhetoric — his constant talk of 'animals,' 'invasions,' and 'vermin' — isn’t some sideshow. It’s the main event. And his disciples repeat it like gospel. …

The scariest part? We are nowhere near the bottom. As Trump continues to lash out — at immigrants, at the courts, at the media — the permission structure grows stronger."

Next up in the anything-but-Epstein distraction plan: Send troops into Portland.

"President Donald Trump said Saturday that he will send troops to Portland, Oregon, and to immigration detention facilities around the country, authorizing “Full Force, if necessary” and escalating a campaign to use the U.S. military against Americans that has little modern precedent."

Trump said in a social media post that he was directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide troops to what he dubbed “War ravaged Portland.”

"Portland has been a target of right-wing politicians for the way it has handled racial-justice protests as well as its homeless population, tolerating encampments in the central part of the city. But Trump will again encounter the dynamic he did when he deployed the National Guard in Los Angeles — a military deployment in a state run by a Democratic governor who objects to the decision and will have grounds to fight it in court."
