I hate how some transportation people, namely bike people, think the Silicon Valley scooters are the best. I mostly walk and bus and it has made my life hell. Last night I watched scooter hooligans buzz pedestrians for fun in downtown Portland. Shit sucks. Honestly makes me want to drive more.

doug emhoff's law firm cut a deal with trump to provide him 100 million in pro bono law services and eliminate all dei initiatives. seven partners resigned, doug emhoff did not 💙

I simply do not believe that it is possible to have a serious conversation when you're saying shit like "smexual assault" and "grapist"

When you break it down, it’s really funny that people talk about voting for Democrats like it’s “harm reduction.” At some point you’d think there’d be some reflection when people liken your party to shooting up fentanyl, but with a clean needle.

I’m seeing people talk about going to mastodon and I 100% understand but I think I’m just gonna log off and touch grass. The vibes are rancid and perhaps microblogging isn’t something we need to always be doing for eternity.

asking permission from car owners to use their catalytic converters would kill the stealing catalytic converter industry

It's not that I won't vote for Gavin Newsom if he's the presidential candidate. It's that if the Democratic Party chooses him, then they are communicating to me that they actively do not want my vote, and believe they don't need it. I will simply honor their wishes

I hate dirtying dishes but I stopped microwaving my leftovers in the container after the microplastics thing. Every lunch my inner monologue is just like “here I go dirtying up a bowl just so my balls get less microplastics in them.”

Lmao just got served a video of a pro-war protest of boomers singing This Land is Your Land and Maxine Dexter was there (I think, could be mistaking her for another soulless aging white liberal). I love my congressional delegation!

The year is 2025. There are three social networks remaining. They are run by Dweeb Lowtax, Tweaker Lowtax, and Girlboss Lowtax. You have to pick at least one.

The Oregonian editorial board is a mouthpiece for Portland’s wealthiest and most powerful institutional and political actors. Their goal since 2020 has been to weaponize and exaggerate deteriorating social conditions as a way to advance a right wing political project. They are running from it now.

The Oregonian editorial board linked this post in their Trump editorial today because they know it’s true and that they are partially responsible for promoting the idea that Portland is a crime ridden hellscape. They want to pretend it never happened when confronted with their own complicity.

NPR got fully defunded and is facing an existential crisis yet they're still doing regime propaganda. The bar is in hell.

Marxists: The press is just the mouthpiece of the ruling classes Liberals: That’s very reductive. The media is a public sphere in which ideas compete and the best ideas triumph. Marxists:

Got Klaus drooling like crazy during his afternoon scritch session.

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

Someone should do a VH1 Where Are They Now special about that little white girl in the black and white photo flipping the camera off. The one that conservatives love to caption with crazy shit like “thanks Obama for making it so illegals can legally murder white people for sport.”

I’ve seen enough.

It’s cool that US reporters can just bold faced lie. There have been multiple Pro-Palestine protests at events targeting the US regime, and many people have pointed that out. Yet the post is still up. Such integrity from the fourth estate.

Just had a lady at a four way stop sign look me in the eyes and point at where she was going instead of using her turn signal. We need a moratorium on operating a car in Portland istg.

"We're not North Korea" Sorry can someone point me to all the videos of masked goons kidnapping and murdering parents in North Korea bc I haven't seen those www.latimes.com/california/s...

Almost fainted because I heard my cat ralphing in the bedroom so I jolted up and ran to him to make sure he wasn’t in the bed. This is peak male athletic form, etc etc.

Went to a meet your councilor thing today and I heard from one person who was like the local cops should be protecting protesters from ICE and man what an idealistic view of the cops that seems oddly common and also completely divorced from reality. Esp the last five years.

Judging from some of the replies here, conservatives in Portland really hate small businesses and free enterprise. They want to put the poors in camps and put a Chic-fil-A or an Applebee's on every corner.

Portland if Portlanders used the back door of the bus to disembark.

Ezra Klein spent the whole weekend thinking real hard about how he wrote one of the most embarrassing opinion columns of all time and has returned to deliver a dramatic reading of his newly enlightened perspective

Is Rob Nosse in town rn?

What Schumer is saying here, and I am not exaggerating in the slightest, is that Senate Democrats do not want Trump to pay a political price for either his destruction of the constitutional system OR the downstream effects of his bad policies. This is a pro-Trump position. bsky.app/profile/sahi...

Big thanks to Gov. Tina Kotek's inaction for making me drive to another state today to get routine vaccinations.

i just want everyone to look at this prestigious atlantic writer's bio and her clippings at her former institutions and wikipedia entry and really take it to heart that these people are not better than you, they are not smarter than you, and they do not see further from where they stand than you do

‘New York Times’ Announces New Columnist Will Contribute Nothing To Society 3 Times A Week

It’s depressing seeing the Nepal thing be like “look it’s gen Z doing political action!” Framing everything as generational is one of the bigger stumbling blocks today. Concepts like class, race, and material conditions just never mentioned. Everything is just a fight between the young and the olds.

(Person who destroyed homeless peoples belongings with a smile on their face) political violence is bad

I think we could all use something a little more lighthearted on the feed today.

I saw Dr. Strangelove in Portland and the theater wasn’t laughing at the “fluoride as a Soviet conspiracy” jokes. I know most of you fuckers were MAHA before the acronym was a thing.

I love that Gov. Tina Kotek talks a big game but I have to cross state lines this weekend to get my fuckin' shots.

Wild that anyone characterizes the “Abundance Movement” as anything other than a conservative political project. Check out their conference speaker list: Pacific Legal Foundation, YIMBY Action, Manhattan Institute, California Forever, Republican legislators, etc. They aren’t even hiding it.

Crucify me Portland, but honking your horn in the hwy 26 tunnel is silly and we should stop doing it.

People for Portland 2.0: worse cast, worse script. And speaking of group chats… can you imagine how cursed theirs must be? 😂 Nightmare blunt rotation 😵‍💫

Pretty much only donate to local campaigns but I gave Fateh $20 after this ratfuckery. I hate this party with every bone in my body I stg.

Michael Parenti on “pack journalism” (from his book “Inventing Reality: The Politics of the Mass Media,” AKA my new Bible)

while smiling! Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world. Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate; Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.

Tina Kotek assembled a group of wealthy people and corporate lobbyists to give legitimacy to their call for fewer taxes on them, higher taxes on ordinary people, & less democracy. In other words, she platformer a call for oligarchy during a fascist federal regime. Scandalous and unforgivable.

We gotta gatekeep what's "the left." These are literally conservative magazine alums and the author of a book whose central thesis is "the left are wrecking everything and we have to shut them up so we can do more neoliberalism." Can't let these little freaks sanitize their positions.

Saw an Instagram thing about deleting Spotify because they’re evil but then the follow up today was “not because of the weapons thing, because those weapons go to ‘democratic’ countries like Ukraine, but they’re still evil for other reasons so just use another streaming competitor.”

That so many people are willing to write off violence towards unhoused people as "problematic stances" is disgusting. These are among the most vulnerable people in the country. Imagine you live in a tent and the governor comes and tears it down with his bare hands and throws away everything in it.

this is why it's so important to call out establishment Dems & Dem leadership. because many liberals are hyper-susceptible to accepting fascism. we all know Rs are fascist but many liberals have been conditioned to not see it, to not feel it coming. fascism is here. people like this will bolster it.

Weird way to talk about a holocaust.
