Devastating

Top audio! Per pooler Jeff Mordock: "POTUS was thunderously booed when he was shown on the Jumbotron during the National anthem."

ITS JUST SCIENCE

Trump take basketball

Extremely funny they tried to use the anthem to avoid the booing and it didn’t work even a little bit

Enshittification of traditional and digital media plus telecommunications functionality all at once sure did come at a MIGHTY convenient time for corporate authoritarians eager to capitalize on the inaccessibility of information behind paywalls, worsening service, and diminishing connectivity.

Scheduling a shirtless gladiator fight on your front lawn while you're losing a war is certainly a choice.

“My Mayor is Muslim, my bagel is Jewish, my Christian’s Dior… Knicks in 4!!!”

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.

It's also a lie, because the reactionary justices never want to allow Democratic presidents unlimited discretion. The unitary executive is the legal equivalent of the idea that only white rural people are real Americans.

The money was always there for the good things.

have you planned how you’ll sequence the slow drip of your enemy’s biggest scandals once they inevitably run for office?

AI-simping is divisive rhetoric, partisan messaging, and political endorsement. When schools are targetted and children slaughtered, and women remain targets of abuse and humiliation for money because of these tools, not being critical is white male supremacism not neutrality. Fix your foundations.

Overhearing a breakup in public without screaming at the obvious loser should have its own award show.

please don't sign the cops' petition going around - as griggs writes in the Mercury, the paid signature gatherers are apparently straight up lying about how they are trying to steal PCEF funding for the cops

mamdani you have to stop. you smoke too tough. your swag too different. your polices too bad. you’re gonna make me a knicks fan

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

no poll reporting should ever be allowed to say “members of this party think …” without saying how many voters are registered with the party.

a new Jay Z album could fix me

mase is def gonna take the throne from big. girls don't listen to jay-z, man.

someone buy me that sexy t shirt plz and ty

when I see “moderates” on my city council align with the worst Police association in the country to defund a voter-approved police oversight board, I remember that when I was in second grade the NY police department staged a riot to prevent similar oversight.

I have a new piece out Reflecting on 20 years of migrant struggles, it goes into what abolish ICE does - and doesn't - mean; merging of immigration enforcement with policing & military power; and how fascism is made through bordering. Despite resisting it for so long, I also now define the border.

portlanders: three different finches have crashed into my house windows today. None appears harmed. Is it: A) flying season, B) impending earthquake, or C) theyre all high on white liquor from the longview chemical explosion? Please tag ornithologists in the replies. #ornithologysky

In Aug 2026, working people across Portland will wake up and head to a transit station for a bus or train that will never come. We are calling on community members to attend tomorrow’s Trimet board meeting and urge them to use $11m from their contingency fund to delay transit cuts for 1 year.

Cook. As I was taught and later learned the hard way in Atlanta, "all skinfolk ain't kinfolk"

New report from IRENA confirms that "in prime solar and wind regions, hybrid solutions combined with storage deliver round-the-clock power at lower costs than fossil fuels." Renewables+storage = round-the-clock power, cheaper than fossil fuels, in an ever-widening set of geographies. Pretty cool.

Insider reporting from an unnamed Sacramento Kings official says the work to build a championship team is “95% done.” The remaining 5% of work is focused on acquiring superstar players who fit together and hiring an elite coach.

what if echos of smart positivity are better than subjecting myself to snuff films and AI slop Klan edits and 4chan derivative slur slurry. what if echoes can carry affirming truth instead of hate speech.

WEMBY FROM THE LOGO TO END THE HALF!!!!!

more and more people are saying

Thankfully creating lists of citizens for conspicuously fake reasons never leads to mass detention and then mass murder History teaches us this all ends well, not in piles of dead bodies

bluesky is what you make it. Complaints about this app land like being at a semi-cool party and yelling “I AM BORED.”

This is an incredibly important piece for understanding how the social politics and economic demands of the right wing are all intertwined.

So lemme get this straight: the PPB is admitting they ignored a stabbing victim call for 15 minutes, and are tut-tutting that EMS said fuck it we're going in blazing we got lives to save? Seems like a skill issue on the part of the bureau that gets over a third of our taxes, #Portland.

the era of american humiliation

All I want is a presidential debate that features several key lines from Not Like Us, directed at the certified pedophile on stage

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

It feels inhumane that you can’t opt out of commercials for addictive products. People should be able to one-click their way out of ever seeing ads for stuff like alcohol, drugs, and sports betting on apps and streaming services. This shouldn’t be controversial at all and should be very easy to do.

Mamdani is going to start an arms race of elected officials actually doing good things for their constituents. It's going to infuriate most Democrats who prefer to tell their voters to fuck off while texting for dollars.

"A vote for me is a vote to abolish ICE." "A vote for me is a vote to close the camps where tens of thousands of people the regime abducted are captive without trial." "A vote for me is a vote to lower your healthcare premiums." "A vote for me is a vote to stop killing school kids abroad."

According to my calculations, Ashley needs over 90% of the remaining votes to pull even with Tammy. Janeen needs more votes than are outstanding. Both of these races are callable. Congrats to @portlanddsa.bsky.social , @oregontammy.bsky.social , and @myrnafororegon.bsky.social !

@mullen4pdx.com is a thoughtful progressive that wants to reclaim our waterfront, get homes built, and make our streets safer. Please donate between $5 & $25, to help him hit 250 donors, which unlocks matching funds from the small donor program. Donate here: secure.actblue.com/donate/mulle...

Absolutely howling at accounts saying #WhenWeFightWeWin in their bio, scolding people progressives for asking Democrats to fight fascism or lose.

Science textbooks narrow-mindedly coalesce around a very narrow range of theories, while new age bookshops are refreshingly diverse.

Excellent time to share that a few days ago we passed 100 Portland donors! Our campaign gets a 10x match once we reach 250 Portland donations of $5 - $25, and we'd be honored to have your support... also, say hey to Zora 🐱

The fact we are getting stuck with so much of the city budget that Keith Wilson wrote, because we can’t get any compromises out of the mod squad, is the worst outcome of them all. Wilson should not have this much power.
