generally think that if your response to "this is loser shit" is "are you triggered?!?!?" then you're just demonstrating the truth of "this is loser shit"

Destabilizing the world via USAID defunding was to help give this administration cover to expand their immigration crackdown. They could demonize “others” for being “sickly”.

My **HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS** in 2004-2007 told us repeatedly **NOT** to use google for research due to the low quality of facts you get from random websites who pay money to show up higher in searches. I *still* don’t use google most of the time.

Life. Never. Gives. Up. Plants can stay dormant as seeds for an almost indefinite amount of time when kept dry. Trees will crack sidewalk to continue their growth. Honey bees, at great cost to themselves, will lash out with stingers to save their hive.

The private sector will *never* do anything for the consumer except extract everything possible from them. They’ll never do “the right thing™️” without the government stepping in and forcing them. This is why we can’t have business in government.

I think we should all cheer for the Knicks to get a ring this century.

We’ve got Democratic Socialists winning primaries against establishment Democrats in tech-rich Washington County (home to Nike, Intel, and Comcast has a huge presence as well) to make corporations pay their fair share in taxes. May Phil Knight sleep poorly tonight.

For posterity

Trump beheaded some of his staunchest supporters at the state level because of some petty grievance, and now his absolutely tiny hold on government has slipped away. Betraying people who empower you is so dumb…

Part of the trickiness is that the United States Satan terror murder Nazis that claim to be O9A really kind of aren't. "Real" O9A are a bunch of weird and secretive British esoteric occult nerds who certainly like Nazi Satan murder just fine but also eschew the US pop stochastic terror cultism

My dogs are weird. Sometimes they won’t eat until I sit on the floor with them. If I don’t join them for dinner they just whine at their bowls. The minute I sit down on the floor they dive in.

I hope y’all are ready for the whole business / local ruling class to spiral so hard.

lol

Tammy Carpenter is currently behind by *57* votes in her race. Much to the chagrin of the Oregonian, Tammy has gained ground in each of the last two updated counts. Unfortunately we will probably have to wait until Friday to get another update. Your door knocking may have made the difference!

*me, yelling at the TV during a commercial* YOU USED AN AI DOG, WHO BELIEVES IN YOU?!

Steller’s Jay sighting!! Such a cool looking bird, but boy howdy did they NOT want me getting close to take a picture 😅

If I was gonna go all in on telling stories of how someone sexually assaulted me, I’d name names. No shame, but I’d throw a human who wronged me under as many public busses as I could.

So now that Trump has personally stolen 1.8 billion dollars of our tax money for his personal brown shirt army how can we not call this spade a spade and dispatch with a despot.

The Trump $1.776 billion slush fund is not mere corruption. Trump is giving his brownshirts money for recruiting, logistics, AR-15's and tactical gear. Nobody in the national media seems to be talking about this, or about how the Paycheck Protection Program played a central role in funding Jan 6

My life is drastically changing as I'm leaving federal employment (after 13 years) for a telehealth private practice (Goblin Mode Therapy Services) I also decided to put my photography out into the world, with both a Kickstarter for a Nature Calendar and a site for buying prints linktr.ee/hobbesq

May Trump’s death be agonizing yet swift and may it be tonight. The amount of destruction, pain, and death that one evil human has done has no level of punishment that us fellow humans can, or should, dole out. As an atheist this is the harshest I can be. No god for smiting.

Ancient humans had to worry about *where to poop* so they didn’t die from the bacteria. They needed to find their own food. We’ve found so many cool amenities as humans to make life easier we collectively forgot how hard life is. This has made us all, collectively, stupider.

Career update!

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

I LOVE WHEN SOMEONE ELSE TALKS OF NATIONALIZING THINGS

Yo, anyone else in the Pokémon GO community want to help our hungry Oregonians? Team Evolution GO is all about community taking care of itself, and in that spirit we have an Oregon Food Bank campaign to raise money. #TeamEvolutionGO #Portland #OregonFoodBank

Here, the Oregonian editorial board is speaking to Portland Metro Chamber affiliated officials who want to give a public hand out to a billionaire and subtly chiding them for being bad at their main job of running cover for corporate interests.

Oh you’re going on a cruise huh? Enjoy your long forgotten rat virus, I’ll stay on land where my rat viruses are more common.

“Governor Kotek has failed to protect us from the harms of rapid data center expansion because she cares more about her corporate buddies on her Prosperity Council than ordinary Oregonians,” [Jacob] Roloff said.

“It’s not X, it’s Y” is said to be an AI give away but I’m going to tell you something deeper: That’s a sales tactic and phrase. AI is the worst salesman you’ve ever met because AI has studied every single shitty salesman handbook ever written. It’s trying to sell you on an idea.

“Democrats need to…” dope, are you ready to become that Democrat? Sometimes you can’t wait around for others to do the right thing. If you have ideas, run. Take that fucking seat. Become the Democrat you *wish* for.

Question to y’all, whats your Remote Trade tag look like? I’ve filled mine with shiny legendary and Dragon type Pokémon. How about you? #PokémonGO #RemoteTrades

Governor Kotek empowered a bunch of right wingers to recommend that she cut environmental and climate regulations, slash corporate taxes, and eliminate Preschool for All. Not only do we have to fight Donald Trump, we have to fight our own Democratic Governor’s Republican economic policies.

Something magical about getting a random Signal that’s just some beautiful photography shots of scenery. Get you some cool friends, I’m telling you.

May the GOPs last gasps for air be soon.

DOG, Canvas paid the ransom to ransomware hackers. What the fuck world do we live in?!?

The US is what happens when racists don’t face consequences for being bad people.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

PLEASE I BEG YOU MEN, JUST BE INTERESTING AND CARE ABOUT WOMEN. THAT’S IT. IF SHE HAS A HOUSE? DOPE, SHE HAS A HOUSE. DON’T BE SO FUCKING PATHETIC, MEN!

City Council is still debating this policy. Send a letter in support here: actionnetwork.org/letters/emai...

Are you aware that each and every one of you can **BLOCK** bad actors posting obvious propaganda instead of QUOTE POSTING THEM AND SPREADING THEIR PROPAGANDA? Y’all would have taken pictures of Nazi propaganda posters and shared them on instagram. 😖

So Adult content on the internet in the UK is “AI monitored” for those wishing to access it via pictures. Children are outsmarting this AI by drawing a graphite mustache. If you can be fooled by a child in a pencil mustache I don’t trust you.

Heads up, if scientists *don’t know* how a virus spreads then maybe they shouldn’t also say that this is a known virus and lots of study have been done on it so the public is safe. How can you *assure us* safety when you don’t know how the virus travels?

I fucking build this with my bare hands and it’s the exact look I was going for. There should be some poppies blooming in there 😍😍

Join Portland DSA to rally against data center disasters!

Oregon officials are burning a billion public dollars on the Moda Center/Blazers deal. Amid a budget crisis, we’re giving handouts to Tom Dundon, a billionaire who made his money on subprime auto loans, and co-owner Marc Zahr, a billionaire whose shadow bank sold a warehouse to ICE this year.

I’m eating sliced apples and peanut butter, so I offered some to my partner. She said no. I asked, feigning being offended, “what, you don’t want my horse chow?”

The business press does not want you to know how much $ Phil Knight, Betsy Johnson, & the Portland Metro Chamber (+ its corporate funders) are pumping into Washington County elections. The corporations & conservatives are terrified democratic socialism will take hold in the home of Nike & Intel.

Just out exploring the wild, looking for Lechonk, checking the local flora. You know, the usual. #PokémonGO #LechonkCommunityDay
