Everyone knows that the best proof of superpower status is when another country dictates your foreign policy. MAGA!

Sadly I believe the city of Portland has used zoning rules to destroy another outdoor eating space in our Neighborhood. www.pdxmonthly.com/eat-and-drin... I thought they had worked out the compliance issues years ago but it appears that the city is forcing them to tear it down.

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

This is why we demand concrete protected bike lanes.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Starting in April, Carrboro’s East Weaver Street will be closed to vehicles every weekend — the town’s next step for turning the two-way road into a pedestrian and bicycle only plaza. Here are the details:

Any Portland folks want to get really into Australia Rules Football with me this year? I got kind of into it like 20 years ago, haven't watched in a bit, but am considering getting the streaming package but want some folks to watch with. Hit me up if you are interested.

Oh so now we believe in vaccines?? Oz Offers Forceful Call for Vaccination as Measles Becomes More Dire www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/w...

The U.S. currently has more prisoners and a more sophisticated system of concentration camps than Nazi Germany had on the eve of World War II in 1939

I’m a Federal employee. I won’t (and shouldn’t have to) go on the platform owned by one of the people who decimated my entire industry to reliably find out about news and upcoming meetings from my local government.

Every American needs to watch this:

Where are you, DA Vasquez?

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

CBS censored Billie Eilish saying “Fuck ICE” at the Grammys. Here’s the uncensored version:

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

Victor Wembanyama to reporters today on the killing of two Minneapolis citizens by federal agents: "Every day I wake up and see the news and I'm horrified. I think it is crazy that some people make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable."

A sentence I'd never think I'd read from a fellow American in 2026. Long live the people.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

NEW: In a revelation that undercuts the GOP narrative of widespread noncitizen voting in elections, a Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one apparent noncitizen on the rolls — and they never even voted.

ICE kidnapped an elderly Hmong man in St. Paul, Minnesota. The temperature was sub-zero, and he was taken only wearing shorts and Crocs, and no shirt. (1/18/26)

NBA game in London. Someone screams “Leave Greenland alone!” during US national anthem. The crowd reacts in support.

You're paying for this. Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs. Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

This actually in Monticello, Minnesota, a city between Minneapolis and St. Cloud. Red area of Minnesota.

There are only 2 real policy responses to a housing shortage. You can either get to work building enough housing for everyone or start making a list of the types of people you want to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Anyone in Portland know why our engine idling law only covers commercial vehicles. About 10 kids wait for the bus in front of my house and this year there is now a mom who is driving her child to the bus stop and idling for around 10 minutes every day exposing all the other kids to her exhaust.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

It's maddening to have to spell this out, but the point of the state and local anti-masking laws isn't to win an eventual SCOTUS victory in 5 years, but to hurt DHS' operations **right now.** When you cite an ICE team, you put their names into the public record and that hurts their readiness.

The police masking and badge covering that started in 2020 was all a grim preview for this. theintercept.com/2020/06/03/n...

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

A woman was shot dead on camera and Trump’s ICE is launching a full scale coverup. Nobody is above the law. Federal agents who break the law in Minnesota, Oregon or anywhere else, must be prosecuted.

The former ambassador to Denmark for the United States, Rufus Gifford, posted this video on his Facebook account: Ht: @hpsc24.bsky.social

With friends like these, who needs Republicans?

Today I learned (in a conversation with @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social about her new bill, HB 2095) that in Washington a driver is currently presumed liable for a collision if they strike a bridge, but not if they strike and harm someone walking on a sidewalk.

That feeling when your entire rapid transit system converges on one easily disrupted segment — like, say, a 123-year old bridge that lifts for tall boats. Portland needs an rail tunnel under downtown. It’s the only megaproject in our region that excites me at this point.

How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀 LA tow truck driver who towed ICE’s car found NOT GUILTY 🦸🏽‍♂️

Imagine your precious child, a high schooler, goes out to walk the dog & never comes back. The reason: he gets abducted by #ICE who just release the dog. Neighbors rescue the dog & return it with the news of #ICELawless. Your son's detained for months in brutal conditions. youtu.be/NumOmTjZHoY?...

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Go, Brad! thewaroncars.org/2025/09/09/e...

It's not the corruption per se, it's the low low price of the bribe.

Trainwreck? In October 2024, The Economist called Biden's economy "the envy of the world."

I wish one of these big nationwide groups like @50501movement.bsky.social would make an organized effort to get progressive elected officials and candidates off of that site

things have become so dire at odot re: funding that we now legit have a shot at defunding this terrible stupid freeway expansion we've been fighting for over eight years. now's your chance - send an email to the oregon transportation commission. No More Freeways made it easy - deadline is tuesday
