The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

I measure the health of our economy by checking the retail price of the Shure SM57 microphone

The public servants (PPB) who are dispatched via 911 frequently engage in very similar identity-obfuscation practices. It is time to bar ALL law enforcement from concealing or obfuscating their identities while on the job in Oregon.

Yeah. I think the initial poke-back at the "war-ravaged" frame was important, but now it's time to shift to talking about where resources should *actually* go, which is housing and supporting people's basic needs, not invading, terrorizing, detaining, bombing, and starving people, here and abroad.

Shit’s getting real

Growing up in the south, it was drilled into me from childhood to not touch or play with Spanish moss bc it’s crawling with bugs, mites, etc. Doomed from the start.

Things I've been told are deescalatory by officers: Pointing a rifle Pointing a taser Pointing a 40 mm launcher Screaming "I'm going to fucking shoot you" Shooting a taser Shooting a 40 mm launcher Punching a suspect in the face Throwing person to the ground Throwing a flash bang grenade...

The Billy Joel documentary trailer has a voice over that goes “uptown girl, it could have been a Mozart piece.” No offense Billy Joel fans, but what.

Got a painting in this upcoming group show at Old Fashioned Garage Gallery. Dm for address.

Would rather chew glass than listen to Dan Savage and Nancy Rommelmann talk about the Diddy trial.

I know I talk a ton of shit about nonprofits: the perverse incentives to water down messaging, coercion by the larger donor class, and their perpetual bandaid approach to the many great ills of society. THAT SAID, a lot of cool programs are really struggling right now.

Everyone references the movie Her these days. Not enough talk about the Kate Bush video for Deeper Understanding.

Don’t snooze ppl Kelly Reichardt’s first movie River of Grass is leaving mubi soon

Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

RCV, folks. Amazing what happens when you’re not forced to pick between Evil and the Diet Coke of Evil.

I’m trying to be less of hater in my post twitter life but today I stumbled on a local realtor who claims buying pre foreclosure property is community building. I miss shit posting.

Seven of the sources cited in MAHA commission's report do not exist: “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with," says one researcher. www.notus.org/health-scien...

Can PBOT fine them for blocking the bike lane?

PPB wanted to show off one of their toys today. Parked (and running!) at Davis & 3rd for the better part of today. A cop told me it was for “extra police presence (gestured vaguely around)… nothing special”

Is the Nottoway Bonfire festival cancelled or did it come early

lol remember when Ani DiFranco booked a songwriter’s retreat at Nottoway plantation.

haven’t had as much time with it as I’d like, but it’s been fun messing with the #makenoise #0coast I borrowed from the #pdx synth library - if you’ve got a passing curiosity about synth gear (shit’s expensive to buy!), I def recommend joining. #portland #oregon #synthlibrary #synthlibraryportland
