this is making me think of when small birds mob a large predatory bird by going apeshit and screaming at it/taking shits on it while pulling feathers

I think my favorite thing about "every city reveals its inner character" era of ice protests is that people keep saying portland is weird or cute or nice or silly when one of the most common chants at the ice building is people looking up at feds on the roof and yelling "jump! jump! jump!" in unison

What the actual fuck

Yesterday on Canal St. in Chinatown. (Photo by the superb www.instagram.com/nigrotime?ig...)

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

I guess that’s the end of it then. The tattoo is covered up, he’s not a nazi anymore.

Pretty much a who’s who list of every asshole you already thought would be on the list.

Thought experiment, how much of the White House could the president tear down before anyone in power did anything meaningful to stop it? Like if he just kept going?

I never knew that in the United States literally the president can do anything as long as everybody agrees not to stop them. Very weird, realizing the entire thing was made of cotton candy

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

this is an absolutely wild use of passive voice, where you have to get through layers of narrative to figure out an ICE agent smashed a car window with his gun like an idiot, which went off and shot two people

I keep saying “it’s almost impossible to explain how corrupt this is” but then something like this happens that’s even MORE corrupt:

there is a new scandal as bad or worse than what got trump impeached the first time about every 48 hours

Trump in July, on the WH $250MM ballroom project: “It won’t interfere with the current building.... It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

JUST IN: The appeals court overturned the ruling of a lower court judge in Oregon, and clears the way for President Trump to deploy the National Guard to Portland.

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

FYI: Horror master John Carpenter will executive produce JOHN CARPENTER PRESENTS, an upcoming anthology series set in the remote wilderness of Alaska.

Lol

Unless anyone is unclear, celebrating “bringing peace to the Middle East” and nicknaming yourself the “President of Peace” when all you brought was a ceasefire that didn’t last a week… is embarrassing.

Not a single mention of this across the Sunday shows as far as I could tell

MSNBC Live coverage: @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social interviewing a pink unicorn on live television is giving me life. #NoKings

This is almost literally what the English Civil War was fought over.

ICE just arrested a singing giraffe in Portland.

This Democrat voted with the Republican platform 49.8% of the time, making her the most aligned with the GOP.

What a bunch of pathetic losers.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

Also lying: - your own eyes - every bit of video evidence - the fabric of reality itself

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn. The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time. "People can be fun loving people and still protest." www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Way too much liquid.

Those mother fuckers are eating Burgerville.

I've pointed this out before and I'll say it again: Washington and Oregon together produce 84% of the nation's hops. Fuck with us and we could bring this nation to its knees.

OMG YES PLEASE

The "antifa army" that Noem stared down 😂😂😂

Knowing that they have the full support of the federal government, the Proud Boys are going to try invading Portland again. Since Portland residents won’t passively accept it, this attack will only serve to reinforce the fascist narrative that the city is a war zone.

Last night, an intruder broke into the Legislative Building and damaged several facilities and historical artifacts. There was significant damage in our State Reception Room, which is a particularly important space. We are still assessing the damage.

Sounds pretty civil-warish if you ask me.

This story is crazier than it even sounds

Oh-So we’re to THAT point in the country now

Among other things, it remains extremely weird that the [checks notes] director of the FBI uses phrases like “ass clown factory” in public statements posted on his official account
