An interesting thing I've noticed in Oregon GOP politics is that there's been a real reluctance to publicly embrace Trump's aggressive revisionism around J6. It's not like OR GOPers will condemn the events of that day, they just generally don't want to talk about it publicly.

wow cara from two years ago,,, how prescient

Will be interesting to see how this plays out, especially given the numerous security issues already discovered in XChat. A reminder to all hackers that I can be reached over Signal at the username @mikaelthalen.12 😉

On Monday, about 83 servings of homemade mac & cheese w/hotdogs & bags of fruit slices went out to our unhoused neighbors! We also gave some kibble to some very good dogs! We rely on donations to feed people Venmo- pdxfeedthestreets Cashapp- FTSPortland #MutualAid #PDX #MutualAidPdx

NEW: We obtained 100 gigabytes of data from unlisted websites associated with Canary Mission, revealing their internal workings, employees, and an internal website called BlackNest where the group celebrated its “impacts”— arrests and deportations. www.dropsitenews.com/p/canary-mis...

you ever notice how transit cuts in the biggest city in the state aren’t talked about as a political risk for the governor, despite being vastly worse for transit riders than an unnoticeable gas tax increase is for drivers?

it rules that, objectively, ana valens deactivating is the exact same scenario as parker molloy, save that valens wasn't being an asshole, but there's a handful of people at best who are willing to say it. one wonders what trait might distinguish valens from molloy. we may just never know.

i dunno man i just think if you're gonna cry about a Specific Type of Person being a punching bag, i should not be able to find the Same Type of Person being a punching bag Except You Don't Like Them and They're Conspicuously A Pornographer/A Furry/Something You Think Is Fine To Bully

Meanwhile about SARS-CoV-2... "It's just a flu". "Don't worry, it's endemic like colds and flu". "We can simply manage it like other seasonal respiratory viruses".

Personally I think this was Biden’s single greatest failure

This framing is off. This is establishment Democrats doing what they do which is supporting other corporatist incumbents.

Leakers do what governments won't.

US justice department has released less than 1% of Epstein files, filing reveals www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The rise of deepfakes and AI CSAM prove public and private sectors don’t actually care about abuse, but still punish sex workers, queer people, and women under that guise. Credit cards companies and law enforcement punish consensual sex and sexuality, but ignore and therefore encourage abuse

NY Orders Apps To Lie About Social Media ‘Addiction,’ Will Lose In Court New York Governor Kathy Hochul just signed a law that's going to get expensive fast. The state’s new social media labeling requirement—S4505, courtesy of state Senator Andrew Gounardes—forces websites to slap unscientific…

This law is so blatantly unconstitutional, @agounardes.bsky.social and @governor.ny.gov should be ashamed for wasting everyone's time, not to mention NY taxpayer's money having to defend a law so unconstitutional even the 5th circuit rejected a less onerous version of years ago.

the real doom loop is service cuts to our transit system. if you cut frequency on an already infrequent system, it’s going to hurt ridership, which will lead to more cuts and fare hikes, which further hurt ridership. all of that of course adds future liabilities to the rest of the transport system

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month

The US has a major problem with Puritanism. Anyway, now to go cancel Bugs Bunny. Why would you need to put boobs and sexualized clothing on a cartoon character like this?!

MICHIGAN: Police arrest protestor of Trump’s attack on Venezuela while she’s live on air 🤔🇺🇸

everybody's gangsta against puritanism and the authoritarian desire to control acceptable sexual expression until they encounter one (1) furry and then it's "if you give Isabelle curves you're a misogynist incel who has a pathological need to sexualize women"

New — I wrote about how corporate media is immediately siding with power in the wake of Trump attacking Venezuela and capturing Maduro, and how journalists need to treat the administration as a hostile entity that’s openly lying to them.

reminder that more kids now have long covid than asthma.

30% of Oregonians cannot or will not be a driver. However, 100% of Oregonians will, at some point, be a pedestrian. Drastic transit cuts--including half of a MAX line--should be a five-alarm fire, but it barely made a dent in the news cycle compared to a 6¢/gallon gas tax increase.

Remember folks, your elected representatives DO NOT EXIST BETWEEN ELECTIONS. Ask NOTHING of them, no messaging, no statements, no action symbolic or substantive. They go back into their bottles like genies until it is YOUR responsibility to VOTE AND DONATE AGAIN. No majority, no labor. Just paycheck

Incredible stuff

Just a reminder, because everyone seems to have forgotten: Tumblr wants to or is actively selling your data: mashable.com/article/tumb...

the thing with grok, and thousands and thousands of cis men gleefully using it to make revenge porn and csam? that's what happened to anita sarkeesian, now at scale. they did that to her first. THEY WERE ALWAYS FASCISTS. GG wasnt the starting point but it definitely was a major mainstreaming vector

democratic leaders in the senate acquiesced to republican demands to massively cut transit funding in order to avoid a walkout during the special session this summer and then had to shut down the legislature for a month anyways because of gorsek’s surgery. just a catastrophic failure of leadership

In other important transphobia news the New York Times is so upset about their transphobic media practices being exposed by the trans journalists at @transnews.network that they published a fake "debunking" of the story, read the original story here Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

this website routinely labeling women's non-sexual selfies as "adult content" is incredibly fucking creepy. moderation team can't see a woman without seeing her as intrinsically "for sex"

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

what does "an effective boycott" of a service most people do not interact with, much less pay for, look like? how is "the progressive movement" supposed to have gotten mark cuban and matt yglesias to log off?

What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

last i paid attention to sentiment analysis it was super fucking racist, did they fix that

Why show up to work at all then? At minimum, as the opposition party you say "This wouldn't happen if we were in power and if you give us power here's how we'll impose consequences on the president's lawbreaking." Have they outlined that in any real way?

I think that the Washington Post editorial page is extremely destructive and overrides the news side's value. Unsubscribe.

scathing but true. "queer community" as it is currently used on en-net mostly just means either an abstract discourse-subject not unlike a "Nation" or a college campus space framework. there are currently many *queer subcultures* or *scenes*. "community" does not yet exist, it must be made first

"I wasn't calling it weird, I wasn't being rude, I wasn't being condescending or using my platform to punch down at a random trans person" to "Actually you are as bad and violating as random incels" in...what, 3-4 hours?

The thing about the "Maduro is a brutal dictator to be sure" caveats is, what does that have to do with anything? Do you think the US military cares if someone is a brutal dictator? Are you nine?

Amazon kept its identity hidden for as long as it could. But the behemoth has finally emerged from the shadows, purchasing the 85-acre parcel near the Eugene Airport that it needs for its controversial parcel-delivery warehouse. Read more at EugeneWeekly.com
