cuts to Oregon Health Plan of $421 million, a little bit more than the $365 million the state wants to use to subsidize renovations at the Moda Center on behalf of its rich owners

Instead of depriving a million Oregonians of medicine perhaps we could cut a single ODOT project.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Republicans at the national level are to blame for these devastating cuts to Medicaid but don’t tell me we have to gift $300 million of state taxpayer money to a Texas billionaire when we have people’s healthcare being stolen. @tinakotek.bsky.social

this is imo an example of how data center hatred isn't just reflexive nimbyism

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

Are sports stadiums a scam?

Human rights in the US means white guys are entitled to political office but trans people aren't entitled to their own bodies.

Meta Glasses are like, a Cybertruck for your face.

siri, play "hate to say I told you so"

6 years of research: "The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism—the tendency to be self-centered & entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status—& the more they favored return-to-office mandates."

Centrist Democrats: "Nothing can be done except for more tax cuts. Also we love the police, the military and some wars. Also we will say 'kitchen table issues' twice a day. Vote for us."

This is NOT what the FIFA World Cup is about. The FIFA World Cup is about *opens history book* uh oh *Frantically starts flipping though pages* uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh

Making slop-filled games you won't want to play that you'll never actually own except as a digital license that can be revoked at any time to play on hardware you can't afford to buy because of the very same AI. yaaaaaaaay

Any MLS owner in PDX that doesn’t invite Cabo Verde for a Copa Verde Cup is passing up his first sold out match of the year. #rctid

Having 48 teams in the World Cup was a very good idea

😄

it's pretty funny that the World Cup has sensors that detect the ball's rotation, acceleration, and location every .002 seconds (not exaggerating, the actual tech specs of the sensor) but also the game gets to the end and the ref says "ok I think 9 more minutes ... maybe more if I feel like it"

"I wonder what the public would think about electing a councilor...who's under investigation. I just want to throw that out there." -Councilor Olivia Clark, 07 Jan 2026.

"I do not support boys playing in girls sports. This is already settled law in Ohio, and as governor I will enforce and uphold the law," Dr. Acton said. "As a doctor, public servant, and a mom, I will always stand up for fairness and protect kids' health and safety" Fuck the Democrats

Good. Let's undercut the antidemocratic status quo of the PBA and their council cronies expecting special treatment and special access to elected officials at the expense of the public.

telling each other stories <3

Reminder for (some of) SE Portland, our congresswoman Janelle Bynum voted for the Laken Riley act

I appreciate that he apologized but Bill Oram is still an asshole and a hack sportswriter. I think he apologized because he caught so much blowback for it. his socials got blown the fuck up. So, on that note: Fuck Bill Oram Always. And Bill, God help you if I'm ever holding a hot dog and I see you.

if I were an elected representative and my constituents were coming up and saying "our daughter can't go to college unless she gets an athletic scholarship" I would be like "this is why we need universal free college" not "we'll pretend to solve this by being cruel to trans people." crazy right

america turns 250 this year... who gives a fuck? pokemon turned 30. now thats an empire i can get behind

If you wear Meta glasses you may as well tattoo “I’m a huge loser” in all caps on your forehead. Like if your idea of fun or creating viral content is surveilling everyone around you, you are a loser.

As a trans woman, a constituent, and a contemporaneous former Reed College student with Perez, I gotta say there is nothing Marie could do to further alienate me. She has chosen the path of fascism & is fanning the flames of genocide of all trans people. We're just the first, most visible targets.

The Oregonian editorial still takes potshots at councilors who refused to roll-over and immediately take the deal on the table--yet they now concede the public deserves a much better deal. How convenient.

Just wanted to point out that Schumer has not yet said a single word about SCOTUS' anti-trans ruling.

"are trans people people?" kamala harris: idk whatever the law says

Supreme Court my ass

Personally, I’m ready to brawl for my trans friends and neighbors.

Once again, there is no gender equality without our trans community. There is no feminism without our trans community.

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

I think microwaves should have an "I'm feeling lucky" button that picks a random time and locks the door

Seeing centrist Democrats in Congress posing a stronger opppsition to progressive challengers and socialists than they ever have to fascism (Fascists directly target Socialists first historically but oh oop that’s a longer analysis)

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

If you want to know why both corporate Democrats and Republicans are freaking out about DSA on the TV, this is why. We’ve been living under a 50 year lie that good things are not possible in our politics and it only took six months in a major American city to show that it was a bipartisan scam.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

I like how one mayor collecting a tiny bit of revenue from the obscenely wealthy and using it to fund public services has mainstream Democrats freaking out like Beaker after starting a fire on the Muppet Show

Aww the co-creator of FTL came out as trans and issued an update for the first time in years just to change her name in it 😭 love that game.

crazy to me that rich people have been so successful in perpetuating the lie that the poor are stealing from everyone. they don't have any money. the rich people are the ones with the money! that's who stole the money

Eat Shit, Dundon

It’s unclear if anyone who purchased a $350 ticket to this year’s chamber of commerce meeting is feeling buyer’s remorse, but if they expected anything more than a pep rally, sans pep, they certainly could be.

Yes, and?

"Far left" positions: - Transit should be fast, functional and maybe even free. - Everyone has a right to healthcare, childcare, housing, and food. - Collective punishment and genocide are bad, actually. To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

I’m unsettled by the Mayor’s newsletter today re: Moda. Rather than acknowledge that there are very real concerns about how this process has unfolded, he chose instead to cast critique as short-sighted and opportunistic in an effort to deflect from the impressive lack of rigor to date on his part.
