just one moment of celebration for getting a major donor to move $3 million dollars this week to rent funds now if only there were more than one generous super-wealthy person and the news hadn’t moved on from this entirely predictable crisis

The Atlantic during the campus protests

this is why you can’t say this is a Netanyahu thing, a damning majority of Israeli officials and settlers are like this

Because there are *always* Epstein connections, here's your friendly reminder that Prince Andrew was invited to the HBO Harry Potter set... Last year. www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/ro...

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

I really can't put this more clearly. If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on. There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.

Let’s not slash the auditor budget. Fuck you wilson. www.portland.gov/auditor/news...

In 2020, the Portland City Auditor’s office found that the City’s oversight of its own Enhanced Services Districts (ESDs) was virtually nonexistent. That meant the City was basically facilitating a de facto property tax on residents for the benefit of private corporations with no evident ROI

Under the new contract Downtown Clean & Safe provides around $10m a year to the Portland Business Alliance/Metro Chamber whose lobbyists are up in City Hall virtually every day and whose president Andrew Hoan goes on the news a lot to complain about Portland and say how much it sucks

Feminists have rightly pointed out that women are not believed by doctors when they say something is a problem for decades and yet these "feminists" who are reactionary anti-trans campaigners want to pretend like they're the real champions of women.

Gays, fags and theys if I see a SINGLE one of yall watching the new fuck ass terf show reboot I WILL chase you through the woods for Sport ❤️🙏 thank you

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

What about Portland Water’s gross fiscal mismanagement of a now-multi-billion water plant, which customers pay for? www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

She wasn't hired for ratings. She was hired as part of an ongoing fascist ideological project. So she is succeeding.

There is a fundamental laziness here, an unwillingness to do the hard work that good research demands, a complete failure to understand what makes it worth doing in the first place. 27/

ICE is incompatible with a constitutional democracy and must be abolished.

How about some legislation that makes these massive data centers pay their fair share of the electricity they use?

Nothing more radicalizing than telling the word to stop killing kids only to be met with endless attacks

There’s so much to unpack in this order regarding Pentagon press access. Make sure you read it! (No paywall.)

I think this is a great idea that will be even more amazing when floated by someone whose hobbies don’t include covering up murder

TBH, I live in probably one of the more bike-friendly cities in the US and even here, I cannot think of a time that I was more than slightly annoyed by a cyclist, but I can think of multiple times where I had to physically slap a car's outside because the driver almost hit me.

Got you covered

I am only in America because even when the dictatorship fell, it would take decades for Paraguay to recover. Even now, it has not fully recovered. My mom brought us here because she wanted us to have opportunities women didn’t get in Paraguay at the time. Now we see the American Dream was a scam

“I look forward to having a secretary who doesn’t take orders from Stephen Miller.” What guarantees does Heinrich have of that?

what’s going to happen if they actually do this in any real numbers is that a lot of folks are going to be harassed or groped in a way they have never encountered before just because they went to the airport and that’s something that really sticks with you

when sheriffs bring in massive surveillance equipment with zero public oversight or even approval, because private surveillance corporations say they’ll just pay for it: boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...

Widen your gaze and look upon Lebanon. Nearly a million people have been displaced by Israel in the past 3 weeks. They've been told not to return. That's ethnic cleansing. The last time Israel occupied Southern Lebanon, Hezbollah was born. What horrors will be unleashed now?

Correct. If billionaires are paying this much money to fight it, then it's probably a good thing to pass.

Lets see what the professor of political science has to say about a certain major politically impactful event….ah.

Serial harasser and bigot Brian Owendoff is back in the news today. 👇 Owendoff’s antics and lack of self control have given us a glimpse into the right wing networks that work behind the scenes to keep the rich and powerful in control. Also, when will Dan Ryan release his texts with Owendoff?

it's a real mindfuck to see the leadership of a publication creating some of the most important journalism of a generation trying to screw the people doing the work

This is going to make me cry. It means so much to have the mayor recognize the humanity of prisoners. (He calls them "New Yorkers"; they are his constituents too.) Faith communities and holidays matter enormously to people who are incarcerated. They will remember this.

Reminder that CBS spends thousands of dollars a day on an unnecessary security detail for Bari pagesix.com/2025/11/03/e...

He knew what playing Dumbledore would mean, had trans ppl tell him what it would mean, he considered not taking it… but did anyways. His desire to secure his legacy for cis children mattered more to him than trans kids lives. Ironically, this role is the thing that will most tarnish said legacy.

the government is saying “underage girls are testing positive for pregnancy at ICE detention centers” instead of saying “ICE agents are raping & impregnating underage girls.”

95% of contract work is just taking an existing template and making some minor tweaks. i assure you that AI cannot make this much more efficient.

I think Lithgow is right here when he thinks his career would have otherwise been assessed as fumblingly but earnestly an ally to trans people. And then at the finish line of his life the devil backed a big truck of money to his door. And he's right - that now it'll poison everything. So it goes.

You do not, in fact, have to hand it to Steve Novick for finally telling off Bob Owendoff and calling him racist. Steve still voted against Councilor Kanal for council president, and since I don't remember if he was one of the people complaining about people of color being angry on council...

Why is it that when white people call out racism they get praised but if we defend ourselves or each other we are argumentative, rude, or “race baiting”? We know why, but I don’t want to see the praise while I get called angry and combative.

Oh yeah these guys are definitely giving us a UBI for sure any day now

Amen to this. Looking forward to serving on the Housing & Permitting Committee under your leadership, Councilor.

Hahahahahaha ahahhahhahah AHHAHHHAHHHAHHHAA AHHAHHHAHHHAHHHAA GET FUCKED YOU PIG MOTHERFUCKERS AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAÀAAAA

I have begun looking into the process and talking with community leaders about renaming Cesar Chavez blvd to Dolores Huerta blvd. Per city code, one of the first steps is a petition with 2500 signatures. Stay tuned for ways to be involved in this effort. 🫶🏾
