They say boys and girls can't play sports together yet here we see them excelling at Co-Ed Nazi Punching.

Crime is a social construction. Helping slaves was criminal. In some states handing water to people standing in line to vote is a crime. For a long time a husband raping his wife was legal. If you define your morality based on the law, at the very best, you understand the world like a child does

Even for joanne this is... wooooooooooww

This slipped out of the headlines due to the nonstop chaos that’s our news cycle. “There’s a playbook of demonizing people …& claiming vehicles were used as weapons. We see a pattern of victim-blaming, & it’s important we push back, because it’s propaganda.” Sameer Kanal, Portland city councilor

Hard to ask voters to sign up for another bond when a) we haven’t attempted to clear our current vacancies, b) we don’t know how to keep tally of our PHB money, c) we are seemingly unable to exert any cost control for new projects.

Fucking shocker Of course all of PDX white moderate democrats just basically shut the fuck up when it was 'confirmed' that they were 'connected' to a gang. Prime example of how crime statistics are appropriated and used to further racism.

I dont want to take away from mamdani at all, I think from my distant perspective that he was well and beyond the correct choice for new york city. However. I dont think we should be misassigning the end states of processes instigated by his predessessor as Mamdanis victories.

Authors: How does a person reference their published writings on their resume when they are not applying for writing specific jobs?

Puerto Ricans are in a fucked up catch 22 where they are forcibly Americanized, but have little to no say in representation, and they cant exactly succeed from the US, but those living on the mainland are probably in fear of being taken by ICE based on their skin color.

Indeed, congratulations. Proud boys. Err i mean patriot front, err i mean border patrol agents will now be able to shoot you with both hands on the gun.

Neil Gaiman is a "progressive" in the same way that Cymothoa Exigua is a fish's tongue.

I do think a person who hurts another person can make sincere amends and change, but in concert with power, duplicity, and retaliatory social violence, there is no hope for someone like this.

A reminder that the accusations against Neil Gaiman are a horrific read of pathological manipulation, sexual & emotional abuse, workplace harassment, and heavily reminiscent of unrelated sex trafficking scenarios we've all read about from survivor accounts. He's also on substack so like.. fuck'm

The only trans people mentioned in the epstein files are victims. Hundreds of known anti-trans people are in them, though, either rubbing shoulders with the rape-cult, an active part of the clique, or trying to gain access. Are you getting it yet?

So, good morning everyone... have we gotten an explanation for the "giant explosion" that was reported by seemingly, people in every neighborhood of #pdx last night?

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser. What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

Le sigh. Costa rica, ny almost all accounts, a really nice fucking place. Just elected a right-wing mega-prison building "lets sacrifice our free Healthcare for crime enforcement" dickwad for president. There goes my dreams of retiring there if we get out of this mess in a few years

A gentle reminder that a large number of deaths during the holocaust was due to prisoners dying of disease in the nazi concentration camps who would have otherwise lived if they had not been imprisoned.

O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

- Epstein wanted trans women unable to survive without having to get into prostitution - Epstein was invited to Harry Potter events in 2018 - JK Rowling became a leader in the anti-trans movement in 2020 and thinks trans women should be banned from working retail never let her live it down

i would like to know when we can have diana back

This is not okay.

Thsi picture is giving me teary eyes at 847 in the morning. Im so happy this family is back together.

I want Portland to disarm our police. Take away their guns. Take away their sticks. Make them stand between us, and border patrol. Their backs to us. Their shields towards them. Make them defend US. Take away their tools of harm. Make them a shield against injustice.

What good did this do @mayorkwilson.bsky.social ??? What good did this do?

I just want to know. How Ice/ border patrol has ANY legal authority to interact to protests that dont directly impede their operations. Supremecy clause or not. Crowd control isnt their purview.

I’m good at what Anthropic’s products make you worse at and I’m available

All I know, is that if I was a Mayor, and the Chief of MY police department held a press conference and told the world, "we will not follow the law put in place by the government of this city/county/state" I would fire their ass before tomorrow. Union lawyers be damned.

This reminds me of that oft repeated geek activity, rankings of franchise films. 1-TMP 2-VI 3-III 4-IV 5-II 6-FC 7-V 8-2009 9-GEN 10-INS 11-Beyond 12-NEM 13-Darkness 14-31 Did iget them all? Did i miss one?

My country? Undiscovered.

www.opb.org/article/2026... @mayorkwilson.bsky.social what the fuck are we doing here? BIGGER AND BIGGER BLOATED BUDGETS FOR PPB but a budget CUT for fire departments? I know this a bleak ass timeline, But! Why are we LITERALLY trying to reenact July 64 AD ?

Days like today I feel like we are on the cusp of the events happening in Robocop 3. Except, the cops wouldnt be with us and we definitely wouldnt be lucky enough to have a somehow now flying cybernetic super soldier as our protector.

Masks for we the authoritarian. Not for we the people.

Go fucking figure its the usual suspects.

Im tired of my percieved gender being used against me like a cudgel. No more pronouns and for now. No more profile photo. I need to figure out what the fuck Im doing here long term.

“Agents can identify people on the street through facial recognition, trace their movements through license-plate readers and, in some cases, use commercially available phone-location data to reconstruct daily routines and associations.” All surveillance tools people have pushed back on for ages…

I said something in a comment that wasnt, ideally phrased. It was fucking true. But i shouldnt have said it. Ive honestly been online way too much lately. But job hunting really sucks it out of you. So you end up on here too much. Twitterbrained and angry. Sigh.

Come on all. CONTENT WARNINGS FOR GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF SEXUAL ASSUALT ON CHILDREN: SHOULD NOT. BE. NEGOTIABLE. I feel like a lot of accounts are gonna get muted today.

"They cant arrest us all". Perhaps not. But they sure csn flag you and keep you from leaving rhe country, then continue taking their sweet ass time turning the USA into an open air prison.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I have EVER heard someone say, "I will never talk about my personal politics." Its later been revealed that their "politics" were shitty as fuck.

The world, and thusly bluesky, has been very intense, especially these last few weeks. And its gotten under my skin, so Ive been a little more of what I dont like being. Angry. Pessimistic. Tired. We dont win, if we cant live with joy. Dont forget to find your joy and Engage your passions.

HOLY.. SHIT.

It will never make sense to me how police departments get to break contracts all the time and yet still get paid.

California will enforce segregating a trans girl from playing sports with her friends but will not enforce reigning in the secret police a single millimeter. Got it.

Staying on my HRT schedule isnt always easy. Two things make me dig deep & power through my adhd & depression: -Transphobic asshats. -Self-rightous transfolk who jump to conclusions and attack me because they assume Im cisgendered. Fuck you both honestly, I just renewed my membership to the club.

I REALLY NEED YOU ALL TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE PICTURE OF THE DUDE WITH THE PEANUT HEAD IS PHOTOSHOPPED.

sigh,. once again. yet ANOTHER sign that no trans people will be voting for this man. and no ally should either.

In other words, the housing market is about to absolutely crumble.

Well, thats enough bluesky for me for a few hours.

This is all a fucking ploy to get headlines from collaborationist media like ICE LEAVES MINNESOTA and ADMIN DRAWS DOWN FORCES while leaving everything in place.
