You often hear stories like this but it is usually about a relative living in a retirement home, not the White House.

LMAFO....odd bit of trivia that ditty was recorded at the recording studio next to my photography studio.

📖 Last weekend, I read "What My Bones Know" by Stephanie Foo and was prepared that it would be triggering. (Recommended!) Started "Earthlings" by Sayaka Murata today, expecting a light read, and OMFG was NOT prepared.

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this? A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

Just quietly, Bryn Hammond is the most interesting writer I’ve come across in the last several years.

“The number of necessary troops is zero.” Portland Mayor Keith Wilson

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

If you’re experiencing homelessness, or finding yourself without a secure place to stay, you don’t have to navigate things on your own. Sassafras Patterdale fills you in on what services can look like, how to advocate for yourself in them, and more here: www.scarleteen.com/read/cultu...

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

A fine interview with @brynhammond.bsky.social
