When you post the micro-targeted ads from Meta, you are telling on yourself.

Much respect to my wife, who gave me these custom mugs as a birthday present two weeks before the Mercury published its Brian Owendoff story.

Portland remembers

President Ghoul

Portland, I love you.

Trump's Tariff bereavement has reached the bargaining stage..

As a community member, I’m so glad the OEA is standing up against Kotek’s austerity measures & attempts to destroy local programs with their refusal to endorse.

No notes.

Kash Patel’s girlfriend is exactly the sort of country singer you’d think she’d be. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

Oregon teachers say Tina Kotek is not worth wasting an endorsement on

Rightwingers treat politics like fashion.

Like millions of Americans, I woke up today to the news of another illegal war in the Middle East. Another choice made in DC that will kill hundreds & likely thousands abroad, & provoke retaliation against American travelers & military bases. And yet another diversion of American money ... 1/2

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

mood

FIFA sure must be embarrassed today. Perhaps it was a 'piece' prize.

The power to declare war belongs to Congress — not the President. These strikes on Iran are unconstitutional and risk dragging us into another endless war. Congress must vote on the War Powers Resolution immediately. No war with Iran.

No war with Iran! War is not a negotiating tactic. It is a human tragedy. I do not support military escalation or bombing campaigns. I do not support expanding another conflict in the Middle East. Civilians pay the price. Diplomacy and de-escalation are the ONLY responsible path. #NoWar

You don't build a 'Department of War' in the first act and then not use it.

I don’t even know anymore. War, the senseless murder of civilians, pedophiles in power, just a whole lot of fuckshit.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

US missile strikes are unconstitutional and unjustified. Congress must reconvene immediately to adopt the bipartisan War Powers Resolution, prohibiting unauthorized military intervention in Iran. I pray for the safety of the people of Iran and the region, many with family ties here in Oregon. #nowar

Congress must immediately reconvene to vote on a War Powers Resolution and end Trump’s reckless, unilateral march toward another endless war. The American people must also be LOUD in their opposition. The public wants peace, not more chaos abroad. Your voice is powerful.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

The trash that occupies the White House (and any legislator failing to act to stop him) is bombing children in Iran. This is intolerable. The time for mass mobilization is now. Join an org, get into the streets, contact your reps. No war on Iran.

You know this isn't PDX!

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

They trained these models on dystopian futures and now they will execute those same nightmares. How many books and movies about utopian societies successfully surviving have you actually seen/read? 1 in 20 is not great odds.

Billionaires: All your base belong to us.

Is everybody okay over at @opb.org?

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

The media landscape is coalescing around the billionaire class.

BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ removed this photo from the Epstein Files. EFTA01230639. Note that this is undeniably Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick on Epstein Island. Also Lutnick testified under oath that he only went to Epstein Island with his wife and his kids. This is a bunch of men.

Shot and Goal! Winning and losing is never binary.

What's wrong with it, it's unisex?

Let's just stop kidding ourselves--Mamdani is the 2028 Democratic nominee! (posting this for the future bragging or dragging)

Oregon state Senator Khanh Pham is doing excellent work and has an active Bluesky presence but only 700 followers! If you're in district 23 (most of Portland and surrounding) Give a follow.

There is a dark shadow over the world and nobody is safe.

The Trump Whisperer, Zohran Mamdani.

if you're on a budget but like local treats, the 'Too Good to Go' app has been generally good to us in Portland. Today's haul was 4 Blue Star donuts at 50% or so.

Snuggles

Oregon can encourage tech investment while insisting that companies pay their fair share. Let the Governor's Data Center Advisory Committee know what you think should guide our state's policies around data centers by sharing an email or sharing testimony at their first meeting this Friday:

She's really good at this.

It's not the minimum wage. It's the lack of a maximum wage.

Nazi tattoo guy boosts white supremacist, runs for Senate.

One of the biggest divergences between me, and my mom/aunties who are my stand-in for normal turbo libs, is the white hot anger I have at the NYT and MSM.
