Oof.. that really fucking blows.

I really wish i had a different source for this clip from someone other than Aaron Rupar, but this clip is gold and should be watched.

to think, in just a few short years we've gone from stopping oil tanker pirates to being them.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.

Lawmakers and bible thumpers don't want you to understand the people they're demonizing are doing more good for society than they ever would

HR departments countrywide need to start treating gendercrit employees as potentially hostile. As soon as you are required to interact with one, you dust off the rulebook, you dot every eye and cross every t, and you assume bad faith at every turn. They are a threat to every organisation.

a not so quiet reminder that 40% of families with a law enforcement officer within the immediate family, experience domestic violence at the hands of their respective law enforcement relative.

Regardless of their ostensible political position, verified account or not, When someone posts this much AI slop, you can't trust them.

Me, to my spouse: "do you think frequently watching a movie about supernaturally scaring a landlord into being a good person and redistributing their wealth as a child impacted my politics in any way?"

I guess Newsom's press office defines "modern history" as the "last 3 years." That said, REPOSTING THEIR POST GIVES THEM WHAT THEY WANT, ENGAGEMENT. STOP SHARING POSTS BY PEOPLE YOU DON'T WANT TO GAIN INFLUENCE.

Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch "I don’t get anything … that's the saddest part of my life" (via SiteJamesons | TW)

I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop. PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!! People need homes they can afford!

Watching the salaries drop for the same types of available jobs over the last 6 months sure does evoke some hopelessness let me tell yah.

Since I lost my old job and started this one my rent now takes 60% of my income. With utilities, gas, and the phone bill I’m at 90% before I’ve even fed myself and the cat. They’re squeezing us dry out here.

The fucking people who are stanning for this guy I swear to god. Why do they insist on placeholder democrats who won't do anything until the republicans can get into power and fuck shit up and steal from us more. I mean goddamn, fool me how many times?

Sweeps do actually kill people. I watched it happen to houseless neighbors of mine. 5 years our neighborhood had zero issues. Each sweep they became more and more worn down. Homeless Deaths Quadrupled — ProPublica share.google/c8RPXDH0D3mH...

GET HIM

Sabotaging the USPS is one of the greatest, most long longer harms these fuckers are doing to the US, the USA. And for that alone they are traitors.

Unfucking real.

Oh look, finally someone else noticing what Trans people have been saying for a good long while now. and youre right Halle, Gavin Newsom probably should not be our next president. But Ill go even further and say he DEFINITELY should not be. variety.com/2025/politic...

Since theres not one link to this story over here variety.com/2025/politic...

I ask you my friends, whats more expensive. An annual unlimited rider pass on a fully funded and robust public transportation system? or Car payments plus insurance plus gas & maintenance for a year?

Congresswoman Omar calls Trump's comments about her 'creepy' after the US president launches into an anti-Somali tirade.

I Think Her Party Should Be Making Statements In Her Defense And The Greater Somali Community

I honestly don't like sharing Aaron Rupar, but what Trump says here ALONE, amongst ALL THE OTHER THINGS hes done & said over the years... Is impeachable in & of itself. This racist nazi pile of shit should not be in office. And no one in his administration should be allowed to "serve" ever again.

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

I'm so frustrated with people who can't be informed of new information without getting offended. Like, shit has happened outside your scope of experience. and stuff WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR OUTSIDE YOUR SCOPE OF EXPERIENCE! Good fucking lord.

These fucking ghouls are so god damned WEIRD. Not like in a "keep Portland weird" kind of way. But like, cross the street when you see them coming down the street weird.

I'm so fucking over the way Police departments dominate city politics and budgets. If I was to somehow, ever, run for office. of any kind. My primary goal in life would be to end this asinine and destructive pattern of abuse.

The City Attorney just released their proposed ballot title for the Portland Police Association's attempt to raid the clean energy fund to further grow its bloated budget. Not only does the underlying idea really suck trying to enshrine it in the charter is an extra-shithead-y maneuver.

lol Called it.

There are likely 12 year olds who could do the job better. At least they'd show up to the job sober.

Words. Words I heavily agree with. These are words that need to be said. and words that need to be heard. Alongside them, we need actions that match.

You won't see Democrats putting Venezuelan flags in their profile next to the Ukrainian flags because they agree with Trump in ending the sovereignty of socialist nations. Also the victims aren't white.

Portland should elect people who will direct PBOT to put transit and micromobility clearly and confidently above planning for parking and cars. we could be the one place in the US that turns away from the violence, isolation, and frustration of the automobile

Perfect natural experiment. If Biden and Congress had treated the Jan 6th insurrection like the treason it was and jailed the people behind it, Trump’s power would have shriveled on the vine.

if you hide your unsubscribe /email preferences by masking their text color, you're a shit company with shit ethical standards. It immediately makes me wonder what else you're doing that isn't okay.

The headline cycle this weekend has been.. interesting. it's almost as if they really really really want us to pay attention to them instead of having a happy holiday weekend.

I've been ranting about this so much lately. I desperately long for the weeks of hours I'd spend a year in bookstores and libraries just working my way up and down the isles reading whatever seemed interesting in the moment for my (yet to be diagnosed or understood) adhd brain.

I am once again telling everyone to get the fuck off Substack leavesubstack.com

"Green Cards aren't for dishwashers". The fuck they aren't. Everyone says this shit has a pile of ancestors who would slap the ever loving shit out of them for suggesting "low skill" blue collar workers don't deserve to seek better lives by immigrating to the USA.

A good reminder to folks that Mamdani is still, not yet, the mayor. and that he isn't responsible for this.

The tribal nations of North America should join together and with their combined legal and financial strength, sue the living fuck out of JD Vance, and the administration for this glaring act of hate speech filled vitriolic slander against all of their peoples.
