The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

This is outrageous! First this kid is a citizen! Second, this kid's a minor! www.opb.org/article/2025...

Thinking about how the Jonny Bravo type is no longer satire. The sentence needs a rewrite. But the idea is there.

We’ve got to use our voices and our bodies to protect our neighbors

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed” basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again. i feel that with my dad.

“Walkin’ on the Sun” by Smash Mouth came on at the gym the other day. Still a banger.

An infinitely quotable piece

My grumpiest opinion has got to be that I am truly sick of people complaining about basic interactions with others around them. Oh the cashier said “hi” to you? Good. Idle chitchat with random people is actually social glue and an important ingredient in a properly functioning society.

Bored to Death should have been 10 seasons and a movie

The Hijab Series: 'What if' (2014) by Yemeni photographer Boushra Almutawakel #womensart

www.theguardian.com/environment/... consequences are inevitable…but how bad are we going to let it get?

The constant stress is making me stupider every day

If I don’t see Trump as the Grinch this season that I don’t even know what Democrats are doing

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Anybody ever hear of this Uncle Roger guy? Very funny and informative. Could really make it big

Watching White House Down for a sense of what. Ight be going down

Look I am just saying that if we simply threw women, Black folks, immigrants, LGBTQ people, Muslims and other minorities under the bus we could go back to discussing the class-based white people politics that I, a white male pundit, am most comfortable discussing. Is that so hard?

My main gripe with this is presuming that the federal government wants to avoid an accident. They are clearly trying to provoke one www.newsweek.com/portland-may...

Suburban white women: You have more power in this political moment than almost any other demographic. The ICE guys are terrified of you. The cops know better than to arrest you. Speak the truth the rest of us can't.

Watching Inglorious Bastards to round out the day

Put it where the deer statue used to be

Every type of Portlander was represented today at the No Kings protest except for, ironically enough, portlanders that would consider themselves the “real” antifa. Just funny when considering the propaganda. Lots of retirees, tho. And plenty of kids

I’m addicted to this nasal decongestant I fear

We said never again

Well, not loving how relevant The Running Man feels

What does Portland mean to me?

no need to worry about future elections when this is our present. there should be zero negotiations until she is sworn in

Constant helicopter surveillance for more than a week straight sure feels like my city has been invaded by an occupying force, but what do I know?

Now add the drone of helicopters to the mix. Half of Portland has been under constant aerial surveillance for more than a week. I wish the national media would wake up

Toward Harvard and 25th now, people have gathered near 25th St driveway ICE is using for transport. This man who appeared to be part of the demo earlier is chatting up ISP. Said he's "not undercover because we can see his face." No idea what his deal is, maybe just a cop fan, but that happened.

…is not something he is allowed to do. But he’s doing it, so good people have to figure out how to humanely and properly respond. It does not matter what the Supreme Court blesses or doesn’t, just remember: he’s not actually allowed to do this. Not in a truly free nation of laws and order

From an American’s perspective, the initial conceit of this season of Slow Horses is so quaint. How sad for us and our children

This was taken two nights ago outside Portland’s ICE facility. According to the Trump administration a guy in a chicken suit counts as a reign of terror.

The government shut down as weapon is an invention of Newt Gingrich and the congressional GOP of the 90s

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

Took a long break, came back and half my discovery feed is in Spanish. I’m not complaining, it’s just I’m not that far along in Duolingo lessons

Because even if you don’t mind being arrested, not everyone can afford it, and not everyone has the protections you think you enjoy. Your sloppy info sec might lead the feds to some one in a much more vulnerable position. Don’t do the CIA’s homework for them, don’t leave people hanging out to dry.

The country’s most annoying Obama impersonator now arguing Kamala did us wrong by not telling the American people about the barbenheimer phenomenon, a thing Josh knew nothing of

Kimmel was serving more Trump jokes per minute than anyone else in media

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

My god

That’s 2 of 3 down

Husband Swap wouldn’t work

But what if he’s hot tho

Primary every Democrat. From the left.

This was two months ago and there is now only the faintest talk of aid getting to the people

Thanks to KPop Demon Hunters I understand now. It’s 90s R&B. No wonder it’s so popular
