Around Portland with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social today.

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone who is pretty sure that they’re fundamentally unlovable. 💘💝💞

I may regret this but if I get 100 likes then yes.

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked

it's backwards. obama and biden conceded the republican framework of border obsession, sliding right and setting off a near-inevitable push to where we are today. once again the democrats triangulated themselves into becoming republicans, allowing republicans to publicly embrace explicit fascism.

incredible how white men are given the benefit of the doubt when anything coming from marginalized groups are treated with utmost suspicion and distorted beyond recognition

There’s one near me called Whore Home.

There’s a WiFi network near me called Dolly Fartin

I do really wish more reporters would just ask "Speaker Johnson, do you think it’s appropriate for the Speaker of the House—third in line of succession to the presidency—to be so consistently unfamiliar with current events?"

If you saw this in a movie you would think it’s a bad movie.

If I ever ask for this call the police

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

if elon had a normal dick he absolutely would have posted it by now

It’s the hope that kills you.

“If all the names in the Epstein files are released then our entire system will collapse.” Works for me.

They actually tried to indict sitting members of congress for telling the military not to obey illegal orders. They failed because even the grand jury thought this was ridiculous. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

I didn’t get the job I am heartbroken The search continues

Dem leadership capitulating on the Constitution? Perfectly normal for elected leaders!

Reintroducing Team Avalos! Behind every email, policy memo, council livethread, town hall, community meeting, and Constituent Day, is an office of Oregonians dedicated to advocating for East Portland. And right now? Things feel heavy.🧵

"There is no question that the number of police killings of civilians in the U.S. – who are disproportionately Black and other people of color – are the result of policies and practices that enable and even encourage police violence. ... American police kill civilians at incredibly high rates."

Now we learn from Reps of both parties who saw the unredacted Epstein files today that Trump, Bondi, & Blanche are covering up the absolute worst things in the Epstein files to protect the wealthy, powerful and politically connected. DOJ is being run by criminal co-conspirators.

"I'm going to Mars" "I'm going to the moon" You can't even go to visit your children

Levels of ketamine never before ingested

Do I want to know the answer or am I happier being ignorant?

US elite institutions be as ethical as Burning Man challenge via @henryburke.bsky.social

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Where are your citations?"

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "You've already tried rebooting, right?"

If you had to defeat a centaur vampire, where would you stab it with the wooden stake? 🤔

watching mamdani get into office and just start flipping the switches labeled "good things" makes me think about this post a lot establishment democrats don't like the guy because he puts on display how intentionally ineffective they are

Hey remember when the regime defunded and destroyed all of those government agencies created by acts of Congress? That was just sorta allowed to happen, right? Seems bad. We should fix it

The solution to homeless people is giving them homes.

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

Today, 31 unions & labor organizations representing over 130,000 workers in Portland and OR sent a letter to @mayorkwilson.bsky.social & District Attorney Vasquez demanding that they enforce the law and get justice for the children, elderly, & working people tear gassed by ICE on 1/31.

maybe we need to talk about how fame and quality don't always synch up

Once again, the bad men say “this is how men behave” to justify their behavior and I’m sitting here thinking, then I must not be a man because I have never done such a thing and would never.

Elon Musk will have to appear on April 20. For those of you, unlike Elon, who don't celebrate it, that's Hitler's birthday. Never say the French don't have a sense of humor. www.nbcnews.com/world/europe...

Reminder for Future Brian: no matter how full the sink is with dirty dishes and pans, it will take 20 minutes or less to wash them. #LifeHacks

On X, @osinttechnical.bsky.social reacted with this bloosk by @tommchenry.bsky.social

The oversight resolution from me, Councilor Green, and Councilor Avalos passes! Aye - Avalos, Smith, Pirtle Guiney, Kanal, Green, Morillo, Koyama Lane, Dunphy Nay - Ryan, Clark, Novick, Zimmerman Portlanders deserve transparency about public dollars, I hope this is the beginning.

whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero

Someone clever should work on this!

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

I am begging you all to host your newsletters somewhere, anywhere that isn't s*bstack

Dem leadership doesn't want to dismantle ICE because they want to use ICE when they are in power.

Of all the things in the history of the world that definitely did not happen - this is the pinnacle.
