That provision would effectively ban trans health care for people of all ages everywhere in the country. If Dems can't stand up to that, then they deserve to lose forever.

There’s a lot of things I love about being a transit commuter but my favorite is probably how often I get to see & chat with the folks who live and work in my neighborhood!

At the same time an OR GOP leader tweeted this pro-military invasion statement last night about violence in Portland, the party's meeting in Welches, OR descended into a physical confrontation between rival factions. The hotel hosting the event kicked them out like a bunch of rowdy high schoolers.

It breaks my brain that there is no part of the editorial process for the NYT that suggests its writers check that reality matches what they publish in their columns. These are supposed to be the thought leaders of the center-left & they can’t be bothered to check if they’re lying.

Stop buying Brandon Sanderson's books.

i took a stab at editing ezra klein’s most recent comments about trans people and electoral politics to make a point often lost by the american liberal commentariat

Chuck the president thinks he authorized lethal force against my neighbors and family, can we do more than an ActBlue spam text?

Must be a rough day at the Portland Metro Chamber, who spent the last four years pushing false narratives about “out of control” crime until we had the republican DA they wanted and are now shocked there were other chickens coming home to roost.

The thing that is so disorienting to me is how patently obvious it is that Portland is not “at war” or whatever but the right wing media machine is so potent and entrenched that something like forty percent of the country believes it or is willing to go along with it just to own the libs

Beautiful day in the hellhole warzone of SE Portland! Come getcha pizza.

small businesses wondering how this is going to impact their bottom line should reconsider their membership in the portland metro chamber, an organization that is perhaps singularly responsible for conjuring up the imaginary crime wave trump is responding to

Anyone have a good Spanish/English flyer for PIRC’s hotline on hand? Trying to get some info/resources up for the app delivery drivers who come through my job

New first for Portland -- having the President of the United States threatening to kill us

I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

Overheard outside Revolution Hall: “she’s really smart and thoughtful but she posts like…. a lot”

I often say that conservatives want to repeal the various Civil Rights Act but it’s probably more accurate to say they want to overturn the Reconstruction amendments.

If someone from another country explained that their president could violate their constitution's plain text but that it was completely legitimate because lifetime judges who belong to political parties said he could on the "shadow docket," you would laugh at them because their country is primitive.

headline in my inbox: "The War on Tylenol". Except that it isn't? It's a eugenicist war on pregnant people, blaming them and their medical caregivers for autism, which the eugenicists regard as a fate worse than death. Focusing on Tylenol hides that fact.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

I respect Supergiant making sure we get some sleep but I cannot wait to see the endings for Hades 2, I really hope my beautiful boy Zagreus gets to meet his cool sister I’ve spent so much time with in early access!

Being autistic is a fine & cool thing to be. Some people need extra support, some don't, it's just a normal part of human life. It doesn't need 'curing' or 'preventing' & the people who want to do as much are, straightforwardly, part of a Nazi legacy.

New utility poles on Belmont have reduced the available sidewalk for pedestrians by at least half. It does not seem large enough for a wheelchair to get through.

Can't help but notice that the media breathlessly reporting on the messages that shooters write on their bullets seems to have been followed by a surge of shooters writing messages on bullets

Psssst check out my step-bro’s cool prints if you like cool prints

They built this technology with this use case in mind.

libertarianism has always failed

Alright, which eugenicist at Politico really thought they were gonna get away with it?

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

Hey, uh, are the Mariners good now? Missed my bus home from work watching on ESPN

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

Just so folks know: This article quotes the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine, which is a formally-designated anti-trans hate group, as an authority here. The Economist should be ashamed of its reporting here. No wonder the authors refused to comment. www.splcenter.org/resources/ex...

Portland State U historian @catherinemcneur.bsky.social is doing a very cool series of local history posts on TikTok. Portland folks will be especially interested in them, but so might many others out there. This one is about the horseshoe courts in Laurelhurst Park. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8SXnEWH/

the main divide in portland politics is if you think we have a “livability” crisis resulting from high levels of unsheltered homelessness or a broader housing and cost of living crisis of which unsheltered homelessness is one symptom

Ezra Klein is promoting the idea of anti-choice Dems in states where abortion out-performs Dems because he wants anti-choice policies enacted nationally.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

the wall street journal still has not retracted its reporting on “transgender bullet markings” btw

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

Rewatching Superman (2025), caught this fun little “blink and you miss it” gag. The Metropolis Meteors have Pride Night!

oh alejandra deadnamed mcbride on bluesky too. she should be reported and then blocked like nobody’s business imho

it would be a pretty good week for Rolling Stone to have a TV critic

Gonna start one of those rumors like homophobes have about Matthew Shepard, actually Charlie Kirk was killed in a drug deal gone wrong, still sad or whatever but comes with the lifestyle (moral conservative)

The FCC isn’t gonna rest until Gina Carrano is back in Star Wars

if kimmel is edgy we are so fucked

every single day, at least one member of this administration says something in public that's absolutely disqualifying for public service or civil society, which is what makes all of the condescending admonishment from people like klein so hard to take
