Had the quintessential apartment dweller experience of schlepping a duffel bag full of laundry on the bus today. Genuinely pretty good that I’ve had a decade of renting without on-site going out until now!

having your city noticed by the president is now a natural disaster on par with a hurricane or major flood

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Easy: They hate America. They hate Anericans. They desise our multicultural multiethnic democracy and the dream of freedom and egalitarianism for all and they're stamping it out.

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

Idk how the Melt the ICE hat can be ineffective when it’s raised over $250k for rent & other assistance for immigrants in MN. People are housed & fed because that pattern.

And a happy Pitchers and Catchers Report week to baseball!

no eres mis casa bonita no eres mis esposa bonita

the results are in from Heartland County, West Redstatekota. They've sent a Republican to Congress every election since 1962. In a shock this special election was won by a local teacher with no political experience running on a platform of putting ICE agents in a gigantic blender in the town square

“The female presenting nipples guy is gonna run WaPo” is the kind of sentence that’s supposed to let my future nieces & nephews know I need help remembering things, not be real life.

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

Music streaming needs a button where one can indicate they’re not a 12 y/o who still has to go to church with their mom and thus does not want to listen to Twentyone Pilots & as a result the streamer stops putting them on your playlists.

Donnie Oliveira is either deeply corrupt or deeply incompetent and either way should’ve been fired months ago.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

JD Vance Booed for Sleep (10 Hours, No Ads)

Friday afternoon City of Portland bad news drop is the type of thing one could set a clock to

They found the funding for the Dan Ryan video content that Andy Chandler was gonna make

Multnomah County would be inarguably better off in this moment were Mike Schmidt still the DA

probably not great that every natsec-adjacent reporter has spent the last 24 hours going "ron wyden expert here, this is not cute, ron wydens only do this when they're very distressed"

LITERALLY STORMFRONT WAS OPENLY INVOLVED FROM THE FIRST MONTH and people acted like I was being hyperbolic and nagged me not to “godwins law”

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Harold that jacket is not hitting your hips at a flattering angle

Oh no Justin forgot his shirt! How embarrassing!

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

My main takeaway of the Pretti assassin name leaks is they’re both long term veterans of 12 and 8 years respectively They weren’t six month new hires Tear down all of DHS

that little girl has every right to be on the sidewalk of her own damn city. she lives here. i don't want to hear any shit about how she shouldn't have been down there. she is a citizen of portland oregon and she is entitled to use of our public sidewalks at all times

Imagine the press releases yesterday if City Council was still mostly Dan Ryan, Rene Gonzalez, Mingus Mapps, and Ted Wheeler.

The current Portland City Councilors who are endorsed by the police union are: Smith (D1), Ryan (D2), Novick (D3), Zimmerman (D4), Clark (D4) Listing them because the Portland Police Association is making it a fight to have a masking ban (for law enforcement) and a tear gas ban.

Something about the government that thinks trans healthcare is child abuse blasting families with massive amounts of a known endocrine system disrupter is adding even more bile to the pit of fury in my gut.

I had to leave for an event just minutes before this. The crowd was full of kids, elders, and dogs, all peaceful, marching with union banners. The plumes that I saw went up from a distance are just bonkers. And this is why say ABOLISH. They are galvanizing the resistance with this violence.

I’m so glad I’ve gotten to live so much of my life in Portland. It’s such a joy to run into people I’ve known forever but not seen for a decade & learn that we’re neighbors again and also they’re gay. It’s also a joy to meet new people every day, even in passing. Time makes small towns of big cities

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

Every major website/company now: Yeah if we find out you post or look at a boob we will freeze all your accounts without warning The CEO of every major website/company over Gmail: Oh Jeffrey you are simply a hoot. Lovely spending time with you on Party Pervert Pedo Island Jeffrey Epstein: yeag ,

Call me a filthy commie but I think if we're going to have a carceral legal system it's probably more important to prosecute the child sexual predators and murderous fascist goons than kids who shoplifted, and if we're doing the opposite maybe we're doing everything wrong Just a thought

Also trying to parse all the emails that read like they were written by a concussed golden retriever I think I finally get why these guys are so enthusiastic about getting chatbots to write for them

Growing up on the Replacements & the Clash made me think having beer for breakfast would be a relatively normal guy thing; starting to think those fellas had problems

It would be neat if m00t being in the Epstein files helped deradicalize the guy who cried on my shoulder when Trump won in 2016 & channed his was into posting Nazi memes on Snapchat by 2021.

Anti-Trump/ICE car caravan going down SE Belmont. Lots of home printed signs taped to windows, blocks of cars.

Ozzy saying it’s wild the Game Changers jury gave a million to Sarah Lacina’s Trumpy cop ass in his RHAP preseason press, we’re so back. #survivor50

Think the new Joyce Manor is gonna do something for me.

A really strong 🧵 here. Business taxes are indeed very important to our local governments, but they are not at all outlandish. The "astonishing" thing is that Portland's lagging business climate reputation seems to be primarily driven by the Metro Chamber's overwrought disparagement.

Cool company! If you ask which way they want you to walk around their work vehicles blocking the whole sidewalk on a busy street they’ll scream at you & get in your face taking pictures.

It brings me great joy to report that this season’s knitters’ resistance hat is entirely gender neutral! And it fundraises for MM immigrant aid.

missing from the list: multnomah county’s republican DA

Just emailed the mayor’s office to inquire as to which financial crimes one has to commit to have a friendly interview with Keith! Will keep posted

When two police officers were shot in NE Portland last week, Oregon's right wing influencer sphere was convinced that this must be some radical leftist who did it. Instead, it was someone many of those folks had previously attended MAGA flag waves with. leftcoastrightwatch.org/articles/por...
