I’m just sayin…. It’s not *all* terrible. Find moments, friends. We’ll be here long after they’ve given up. 🤜🤛

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Meanwhile in #Portland

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

Portland City Council member Angelita Morillo humorously criticizes Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, leading to laughter from CNN's Boris Sanchez.

👏👏👏

Great idea! To counter Trump's lies about the cities he's sending in the National Guard. @jimmykimmel.com asked for videos of your war-torn community & post it with #ShowMeYourHellhole The reality is troops are being called in to stop inflatable characters dancing to YMCA! @emptywheel.bsky.social

So far this sounds very much like a 2–1 panel decision in favor of Trump having the right to deploy the NG to Portland, Oregon. This is despite TROs usually not being appealable and DOJ appealing Judge Immergut's first TRO but not the second one. (Though the full court might rehear en banc.)

Narrator: “Antifa is not out of control in Portland.”

happy 99th birthday to the opening of Providence Park. didn’t quite reach this claim of 100,000 seats, but its longevity is a testament to a lack of funds for replacements and begrudging acceptance 🙃 also grateful for images like this so the It WaS bUiLt FoR bAsEbAlL crowd doesn’t get started again

Just in case :: waves hands :: all this has you down, remember there is art and beauty and music in the world. Try not to smile watching this. Please to enjoy... youtu.be/LWRMOJQDiLU?...

Ok, this is just funny. isportlandburning.com

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger. The answer is empathy and compassion.

My desk buddies.

It's not an 'Immigration' problem - it's a "brown people" problem. apnews.com/article/trum...

Legends #RCTID

A major reason why Republicans in Portland are "an endangered species" is that the OR GOP as an institution has become one of the more radically far right, state-level parties in the country. And in a state party gone off the deep end, the Multnomah county GOP stands out for its extremism.

THIS TOO

FT 2-1 Portland Thorns comeback for the win on Christine Sinclair Day #BAONPDX What a night and what a massive three points. PTFC rises to fourth with more results pending.

The amount of players announcing pregnancies tells me that the changes and updates made to the CBA in recent years has made players feel significantly safer to expand their families without needing to sacrifice their careers. And that’s genuinely beautiful.

Washington Spirit games have become a massive bastion of protest against Trump's military takeover of DC. Thousands of people chant "free DC" at the 51st minute of every game now.

Instant Karma. Please to enjoy. On Repeat. I did.

💚💛

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

#RCTID - Adjacent. Also, Oooof!

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Not a great sign when the NRA is doing more to speak up against trans people having constitutional rights stripped away than a lot of our actual supposed allies are.

I’ve got October open if anyone needs a house/petsitter. Lemme know.

After the chaos at the CDC this past week, Oregon, Washington and California say they are going to form their own "Western Health Alliance," particularly around vaccines.

Found a few at the Janzen Beach burlington coat factory as well. Not a ton, but a few. #RCTID

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

JFC... “They hack in, that’s what they do,” he said about Russia. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/13/t...

Latest CBO analysis of the full distributional effects of the Trump budget (the "One Big Bill") just landed. They blew out the budget, see how big of a slice you got. www.cbo.gov/interactive/...

This 20 seconds is pure art. It’s like the essence of Trump - the fraud, the lies, the simplistic idiocy - is reduced to its singularity. Nothing in high office, anywhere, will ever be this stupid again.

We undoubtedly live in the dumbest timeline. #NotTheOnion

If you enjoyed Happy Gilmore 2 as much as I did, remember to schedule your colonoscopy
