the way basic human decency hits these days is crazy

Let's call them "Fight-Back Democrats".

there are two opinions on this subject: "this is plainly illegal" and "my name is pete hegseth"

brian is doing the lord's work going to every media outlet and just saying "it's usually illegal to kill people"

GOP = Pedophile Protector Party.

There is no better illustration of how the pillars of support work to prop up empower and protect evil men than the Epstein cover up. These men would have no power if others didn't give it to them and commit to protecting them. The same mechanism that protects p3dos is protecting Tr*mp...because...

This is why we need fighters in the Dems real bad. GOP + Tr*mp are going to claim they didn't lose in a landslide when voters in the midterms obliterate them. We need Dems who will meet the moment and fight to defend election results. Surrender Dems will cost us more than the ACA.

The Portland Immigrants Rights Coalition reported 329 arrests in Oregon last month. Those arrests have sent chills through immigrant communities throughout the state. Fearing detention, some residents are now staying home from work, school and doctor appointments.

It may be hard to believe, but 25 years ago, Portland was not a food city. So how did it become the culinary juggernaut it is today? That was the question Portland Monthly set out to answer in their winter issue highlighting the 25 restaurants that shaped the last 25 years of Portland’s food scene.

Over 250 folks joined our first Oregon Priorities Town Hall in Corvallis on Wednesday night! People shared concerns about education & research funding cuts, SNAP & health care at risk, a local landfill, a potential ICE facility in Newport, and much more. #orpol #townhall @sensgb.bsky.social

#PDX How about spending it on public defenders instead: www.opb.org/article/2025...

is he, uh, threatening to arrest federal judges and the governor of illinois

Wolff: I was trying to encourage Epstein to use what information he had—let Trump publicly tell a lie then expose the lie. Epstein was afraid of Trump. In the end, I think he was starting to get to this point that he might publicly talk about this relationship but then he was arrested and died.

ICE is stalking schools in Portland. It's backfiring hugely and they don't even realize it. Let me tell you what happens when the call goes out in Portland to protect our kids from ICE youtu.be/qfeUo-k84Ls

Both the U.S. and Oregon Constitutions require the state to pay for attorneys for those who can’t afford one. But Oregon has failed to meet that constitutional obligation for years.

Jesus Christ, I would have been fired into the sun by the US Attorney if I pulled this shit

Portland city councilors rejected a plan Wednesday to cut millions from the city program that removes homeless camps, after a lengthy and contentious council meeting.

Twin cities friends: I'll be speaking tomorrow at the Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science on how AI disrupts the sometimes precarious balance of scientific incentives.

The federal government may be looking to the Oregon coast to run a new immigration facility. On the latest episode of “OPB Politics Now,” we recap the last week of developments surrounding ICE in Oregon.

the reporter assigned to cover epstein and his connections to trump was from the finance desk. also he was more or less on epstein's payroll.

put together a RAG for my players with all of my setting notes in it and can now get perfectly accurate information about things like "i'm going from [fictional city X] to [fictional city Y]; what things are on the way?"

Connected to this earlier one, with some overlap of international and US political figures as well as glitterati

What do we make of this email, sent from Epstein to himself a week before he was arrested with the subject line “List for Bannon Steve” with just a list of names.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

Earlier this year, OPB joined a group of young Indigenous kayakers paddling down the Klamath River, flowing freely after four dams were removed. The "Oregon Field Guide" team captured that multi-day journey in a newly released documentary.

In an email to customers, Rocket Money has confirmed that they stopped advertising on the Tucker Carlson show following his interview with Nick Fuentes and are working “to ensure our partnerships reflect our values.” popular.info/p/update-roc...

A recent Brookings report found 12% of Oregon school-aged children “unaccounted for,” meaning they live in the state, but don’t show up on public or private enrollment rolls. Most of the states with the largest numbers of such children are in the West, but Oregon had the highest percentage.

there is a great deal stopping you from getting permission for all the data you want to use first; in particular, that who you need to get permission for, for 99% of all data which exists, is entirely indeterminate.

We didn't plagiarize, you made us plagiarize by asking questions to which we stole the answers. "Because its output is generated by users of the chatbot via their prompts, OpenAI said, they were the ones who should be held legally liable for it – an argument rejected by the court."

What Tr*mp is trying to do in this country is beyond awful. But I go to bed every night full of love for my city and I wish I could convey to everyone scared and struggling right now how hard ordinary people are working to protect their neighbors and our democracy. America is full of good people.

I've been on the road so I'm behind the times—but if you wanted to destroy US science, I can think of no more expedient action. Blatant unconstitutionality aside, fuck this backwards forwards and sideways. www.science.org/content/article/u-s-congress-considers-sweeping-ban-chinese-collaborations

Followbots can turn into romance scams, crypto thefts, or just election-time political influence by nation states or rich jerks. I see many of these having follow/following/post ratios way off norm: 10/1000/2 and similar ratios. cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog...

Probably had Pulte or a Russian do it. If I read this correctly, Russia made a nearly $100M payment to Trump through this real estate deal with both Epstein and William Pulte involved in it. So it was Russia, Russia, Russia!

ok like who the fuck is their sign guy because you assholes are getting ripped the fuck off

Follow the money. And then get it the the fuck out of our government. Elected officials cannot be our public servants AND serve their piggy banks off our backs.

From 50501 folks. These are the House Dems who have a tendency to DINO. Call them now and if any of them are YOUR rep and they vote with the GOP, what's your strategy to work to get representation in Congress? Bc these guys ain't it.

How many fingers am I holding up?

This this this. No elected official should be able to trade in stocks. @whitehouse.senate.gov has traded $27 million dollars in single stocks (according to NASDAQ). It's not just the GOP, this is an issue across both parties and both houses.

Mamdani is already making NYC more affordable and he's not even in office yet, amazing
