Not for nothing, instead of refusing to endorse Mamdani, congressional dems could think about poaching his comms team to make ads hitting that Trump's ballroom is being gilded with your child's SNAP benefits, but then that would require an actual opposition party.

I’m not going to tell you what to do what not to do but if you’re an LGBTQ person and you follow Roisin Murphy anywhere you should reconsider that because what the fuck is this

When Woke 2.0 rolls around, we gotta abolish the death penalty. It’s a stain on every American.

I see we're just making up people to be mad about. Would love to know who the "lefties cheering on China" are and see their influence compared to the "silicon valley tech titans" - but that would make more sense than whatever gas leak produced this post.

Trump's (probably correct) belief that his Justice Department will give him a quarter-billion dollars in public resources is the product of a Justice Department controlled by Trump loyalists who understand their jobs to be "using the law to do whatever the boss wants"

Congrats, The Atlantic and The New York Times, this is the country you've created.

this is the telling thing about all the billionaire hysteria they would literally rather set more money on fire propping up the most uncharismatic sex pest who ever lived than they’d pay in additional taxes these are not serious people

my most lib opinion: so long as we have law enforcement officers, they should probably be able to pass an exam about what the law allows them to do without consulting notes

ok one more quote post and then i'm laying down for the afternoon lol

Since the “ceasefire,” Netanyahu has killed 100+ Palestinians, has continued to restrict aid into Gaza, banned all UN investigators, & still enforces an international media blackout. And billionaire owned Washington Post runs this pro genocide editorial. Why do you still have a Wash Post sub?

They joined for ethnic cleansing, not to learn how the law applies to the job. They joined to brutalize brown people, not take tests.

I saw a blurb about this case in the NYLJ today and went to look at the docket...maybe it's just a crazy pro se, but I'm not *sure* there's not an actionable claim here? Someone who does 1983 work should at least take a look. www.courtlistener.com/docket/70316...

Um, #Cascadia says HELL NO to oil drilling off our coast. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

the day that society at large understands that testosterone and estrogen are necessary hormones in your body regardless of your sex, and that hormone supplementation is a health question rather than a loaded emotional question, will be one of the greatest days in human history.

*screams*

This is good and a fair question to ask Dem senators is why they're not doing this routinely. As with nomination rules, repeated process objections from the minority will eventually push the majority to change the rules, to which I say, yeah, okay, make them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It should be illegal for security guards/companies to have cars that are wrapped to look like cop cars

Just to reiterate: you are more likely to die in a car crash in the Portland metro area than you are to have died in any TriMet-related way--on a bus or train, at a stop, or even being hit by a bus or train--in any given year dating back to when the MAX was built.

this always felt like the natural direction to go if the owners just wanted to retire, kinda odd they didn’t line this up before the big announcement earlier this year

Following a massive anti-Trump march, hundreds gathered at Portland's ICE facility to protest hostile immigration enforcement and violent policing. They were met with gas, flashbangs, and other crowd control munitions.

use your motherfucking turn signal so people don't have to guess whether you're about to crash into them

Boy does this photo get right to my feelings about all the post No Kings cop love on the TL.

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

Of course the Elon booster has no notes for the ai slop!

I have a note: Please don’t make AI slop versions of actual signs ppl made by hand.

I've watched this 100 times and I plan on clearing my schedule so I can watch it 100 more

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Across all the major outlets — NYT, WSJ, WaPo, LAT, CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News, NBC, CNBC, NPR, Bloomberg — the only outlet without a No Kings story on its home page is CBS News. For every other outlet, it's near the top. Even Fox News is running with "Nationwide unrest looms as thousands mobilize"

if you'll indulge me... lmao it's a sweep

My favorite sign at the Montclair NJ No Kings today:

Books: for reading AND reconnaissance 😉

👀 someone calling out big law firm complicity and cowardice

Genuinely one of the most important things right now is building up the memory of what happened. Who collaborated? Who was disappeared? From and to where? Who downplayed what was happening? Who was right, just unforgivably early?

Unpopular Opinion: People calling for ICE agents to unmask and/or wear body cams are missing the point because that still gives legitimacy to their operations. The focus needs to be on preventing kidnappings, driving them out/stopping them and dismantling the agency, not cosmetic changes.

Hello Missoula!!!

Are we surprised when Aaron is so busy watching porn on the job he can't ban Jesse Singal?

I think the final confirmation that “New Atheism” was in reality an Islamophobic movement piggybacking off War on Terror hysteria is that Bill Maher is now quoting the Bible to support his Zionist beliefs

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

🔴 In the past 48 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 29 killed (23 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 21 injured arriving at hospitals. This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 68,116 and 170,200 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)

I made this meme for all of you. You know what to do.

ICE is raiding in Gresham near home depot today and yesterday Hillsboro. ICE frequently use the federal garage at Terry Schrunk Park. In and out all day. Many of the vehicles filmed going in to ICE are spotted dowtown. They are at an extreme tactical disadvantage when exiting.

The main incentive for so many powerful Americans to climb the ladder is to be able to molest children without consequences

Now WeRateDogs is TRIPLING THE FUCK DOWN and talking about how often cops shoot dogs

Hi. There is an influx of government sites and I’m gonna use what little clout I have To say Don’t bait them. pay them DUST. Commit to boosting coverage of what they do, centering the voices of who they target . In fact start muting folks who over antagonize them
