i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit

“As a free press remains under attack at the federal level, Ryan's comments are a stark warning that efforts to chill a free press is a threat to democracy anywhere.” 👏👏👏

“I also believe in the power of a people’s movement to effectively push back against authoritarian power, and I believe it’s important to put that belief into action. That is where I choose to put my energy when fascism is at our doorstep.” - @councilormorillo.bsky.social

Danish Foreign Minster Lars Løkke Rasmussen speaks after WH meeting: "For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are of course totally unacceptable. We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement."

A chicken can be placed in a hypnotic-like trance called “tonic immobility” by holding its head to the ground and drawing a straight line in the dirt from the tip of its beak outward on the ground. We don't know what to do with this information, either.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Updated: A DHS spokesperson claims a Portland victim shot by a border patrol agent today "weaponized" their vehicle, leading the agent to fire. The Trump administration made a similar claim following the killing of a woman in Minneapolis yesterday, though video apparently contradicts that assertion.

When I talk about the NYT as a chronicle of power without any true moral center, this is the kind of shit I mean

portland city council confirms that two portland residents have been shot by federal agents. at this time, the city council has been told that both victims are alive.

council reconvening after announcing that two people were shot by CBP in east portland. discussing potentially delaying the vote to tomorrow or next week

There have been no security threats to staff or anyone reported to security here, according to the security team lead for council protection detail.

The latest of late stage capitalists…polymarket has got to go

It will never be enough for the unholy trinity: Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Donald Trump. After murdering a woman in her car, their next move was to storm a public high school and terrorize kids and staff. These kids will never forget this for the rest of their lives.

@candaceavalos.bsky.social saying “I am not Michelle Obama, I’m Cardi B. when they go low, I go to hell.” Iconic. Never felt more seen by council.

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

RIP to the portland city council dragon boat team

🗞 In the new issue of Street Roots: Six months of data showing every instance between January and June 2025 in which workers through the city’s Impact Reduction Program took the homes or belongings of people living outdoors. Purchase this week's issue: streetroots.org/vendors#locate

The latest print issue of @streetroots.bsky.social is a devastating read, even if you won’t read every word. 16 pages of items city contractors took during sweeps in the first half of 2025. Data, presented without comment, tells the real, human-centered story of unsheltered Portland homelessness.

Morning.

Pedophiles on X this week:

how is no one else covering this???

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true? HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart-- KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Donald Trump was President when Epstein died and Donald Trump is on the Epstein list. Let’s talk about it.

Jeffrey Epstein in 2018: "i know how dirty donald is."

Epstein thought trump was gross.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

BREAKING: Joyce Carol Oates calls the Wambulence on Elon Musk because of her sick burns

chuck schumer was all "the base is energized? Not on my watch!!!"

Asking my Senators to vote for new leadership; either Chuck Schumer cannot whip votes, in which case he's useless, or he is fine giving up leverage for nothing, in which case he's worthless.

Imagine being a government employee who sacrificed all the way through this shutdown only to have chuck schumer sell you out for nothing.

Chuck Schumer: “We will keep fighting!” Chuck, with you ”fighting” we’ve seen the loss of abortion rights, immigrants (and citizens) being rounded up and locked in concentration camps, an unchallenged Presidential power grab, and the imminent loss of health for millions. You suck, Chuck.

holy cow, I might actually get a chance to vote against him a third time 😌

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

“Part of the reason [Zohran Mamdani] is so powerful is because people are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s the real reason he is resonating right now.”

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future. I hope you will too.

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!
