Rob Radley from Springfield, OR often complains about being called a racist. Gee Rob, why do people so often categorize you as a racist? (Rob is constantly posting white supremacist memes on Oregon social media groups)

The Trump administration trying to sell arms to Russia as well is morally reprehensible, but also an extremely stupid idea if the idea is to give Russia an edge. The Russian military has proven too incompetent to properly use weapons, even any overpriced ones we're giving them.

Every immigrant I know has better English grammar than this polyester carrot

The problem with ghost jobs isn't just a US or Canada problem, but also very serious in Britain and Germany. My expectations of Europe are far lower than they used to be, but if they're stooping this low because they can't imagine doing better, then we're all in serious trouble.

Several churches in the Portland-area have strong connections to these Christian Nationalist extremists. I did a thread on them earlier. bsky.app/profile/some...

Since mid-December, the app Be My Eyes — designed to assist blind and visually-impaired people — has been barely functional in much of Russia. meduza.io/en/feature/2...

We always had death camps in America. When people say 'enjoy the camps' or "you're going to get death camps" I know they're not serious. Even as I speak, trans women are being thrown in these death camps in facilities intended to house cis men

Something similar happened in the former Soviet Union starting in the late 1980s. A lot of violent criminals, together with normal people who'd been criminalized by the Soviet regime, freely roamed the streets wreaking havoc. I forget to what extent the same happened in South Africa post-1994.

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

Do you ever think about how utterly useless 99% of famous people are? Imagine watching a bunch of hunger strikes die and not use your fame to save them...

Jamaica has 8 native snake species and NONE are poisonous or venomous. All are native, protected, and play an important role in the environment 🌿

On Friday, the federal judge Casey Pitts ordered a halt to courthouse arrests in Northern California and the Pacific Islands. A final ruling on whether the practice can continue is expected in the coming months.

These Alaska nurses aren't backing down from the fight to protect patient safety and quality of care. They're braving cold winter temperatures to speak out against their hospital's staff reduction proposal that overburdens nurses' workloads and worsens patient outcomes. www.aft.org/news/alaska-...

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Part of maturing for me was realizing that every major autism stereotype is projection because neurotypicals do the same things but worse.

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

"Imam Fouad’s death is not an isolated tragedy, it is the predictable outcome of a violent detention system that continues to cage people for profit and punishment."

Somewhere out there, I know there is someone whose memory is so bad, they confused Digimon with Devil Children, so they think Wizardmon was Jack Frost and Setsuna was a DigiDestined.

Question: Why are Portland resources being used for cops to direct traffic in Eugene? If I was a cop, could I take my city-owned vehicle and uniform to go tour Crater Lake or maybe direct traffic at Mt. Bachelor?

Europe up to this point has been experiencing once of its mildest Decembers on record. In contrast to North America parts of NW Canada are experiencing a historically cold December…. This morning Braeburn, Yukon fell to 🥶🌡️-55.2°C (-67F) the lowest Canadian temperatures since 1999.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Without the context, I would've thought this was a comedy bit. Bob is styled like one of many flavors of Portlandian dork and ranting about Oregon and atheists.

For the first time since discovering the song late into the pandemic, I've found a very recently-uploaded archival clip of the official music video for Quero Pouco, Quito Muito by Filo Machado. Man, Sao Paulo is not the place I'd paired with the song all these years, but it's still cool to see.

Police in Many “Sanctuary Cities” Have Repeatedly Collaborated With ICE Police face allegations of violating laws meant to protect immigrants from DC to Oregon to Colorado and beyond. truthout.org/articles/pol...

Always loved this one! RIP Chris.

Oh my god no. This is tragic. Vince Zampella has been killed in a car accident. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/v...

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

What if the Swedish Muppet Chef was just actually from Maryland this entire time? Would explain the accent

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

É realmente triste e patético que os bolsonaristas em Curitiba aspirem a se tornar como a Flórida ou o Kentucky. Eles honestamente acreditam que com a quantidade certa de cubanos, venezuelanos, megaigrejas pentecostais, e bandeiras confederadas e israelenses, alcançarão o sucesso.

Just saw a farm truck with a decal of an American flag that said "You cannot cancel all of us" in a rural Kansas town of 187 people.

Whether it’s Pete Buttigieg learning to speak eight languages or Donald Trump successfully identifying a giraffe, there’s plenty of intellectual accomplishments on both sides of the aisle.

Having to see people’s opinions on video games is so exhausting like dude I just want to play the same 15 year old fighting games and chill.

The Community Security Group (CSG) is a private security force for Jews in Australia. CSG volunteers travel to Israel to attend security training courses funded by the Israeli government & IDF. They will now be allowed to open carry guns in Australian streets! What could possibly go wrong?

Another anniversary for Japan poppin' today: Happy 35th birthday to MUSHA! Vertical STG gold on Mega Drive and absolutely gorgeous to look at, especially for 1990. Originally vanished under the weight of its peers on release but re-evaluated in the past 15 years since it hit Wii Virtual Console.

Schab, who lived in Beaverton, died on Saturday. With his passing, there remain only about a dozen Pearl Harbor survivors.

La dictadura militar hizo lo mismo en el siglo pasado. Milei alardea de su admiración por Bolsonaro, pero también cree que Argentina no necesita ninguna ventaja competitiva sobre los demás países de habla hispana ni sobre Brasil.

World War II Navy veteran Ira “Ike” Schab, one of the dwindling number of survivors of the 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, has died. He was 105.

Oh God, James Ransone died by suicide. I really liked him as an actor. Whenever he showed up in a movie, my partner and I would always excitedly point out that Deputy So and So was here.

Unlike Singapore, which the UAE is aspiring to be the Arab version of, the emirates cannot even begin to claim legitimacy as a democracy. Knowing people like Palmer, he's the kind of tech bro who's easily impressed by countries like Israel and Singapore while ignoring why the two are criticized.
