I think my favorite thing about "every city reveals its inner character" era of ice protests is that people keep saying portland is weird or cute or nice or silly when one of the most common chants at the ice building is people looking up at feds on the roof and yelling "jump! jump! jump!" in unison

Research is clear: millionaire flight due to higher taxes is simply not a thing. Millionaires move *less* than the rest of us and often move from one higher-tax state to another (because of amenities!). prospect.org/2025/10/23/m...

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

I’m sure ObamaCrypto would have been welcomed. And a free jet. Folks would be like, good for you! Use the presidency for your personal gain. WE SUPPORT YOU. THIS IS TOTALLY NORMAL RIGHT 🤦

Did DOGE save us $2 trillion? “Not even close. .. Total spending excluding interest rose $220 billion, or 4%, for the entire fiscal year.” 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/tari...

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data. Including some users passports & DLs Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic. Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

Every day, Trump wakes up and thinks “what product should I make arbitrarily more expensive today?” Truck tariffs means drivers pay billions more for vehicles, companies/consumers pay more for shipping, & the benefits to truckmakers get outweighed by costs to other manufacturers

Is this real?? Hard to tell anymore

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

I see the Draft-Dodger-in-Chief has rechristened the Defense Department the War Department. In spite of his hawkish stance, I doubt he'll be gearing up anytime soon.

No notes

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

pretty wild that it so quickly became normalized that immigrants don’t have even basic free speech rights www.axios.com/2025/09/11/c...

Love the multiple ads Apple is serving in the m f'n Settings app.

In a bold change from senate norms, Chancellor Palpatine has declared himself "Galactic Emperor"

Here's one for all the game devs out there www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.

The White House ordered heavily armed military soldiers to arrive outside a press conference by a dissident governor and just stand there. Wearing masks to conceal their identities. What is being done to the country I treasure, and the freedom my ancestors fought for, sickens me beyond words.

What's that? No, I haven't seen the article or heard the news. I've been walking the cloud battlements.

“.. Electeds, candidates, and organizations must take social media seriously,” the memo says. “If you do not feel like you can handle communicating directly with voters or constituents… now is a great time to retire.” @maxtani.bsky.social www.semafor.com/article/07/1...

“I’m being discriminated against!” screeches one of the richest and most influential people on the planet. “I’m being silenced!” he is quoted as having said in several of the myriad articles written about him this week

I know I'm not the first person or even the millionth person to point this out; it's not even the first time *I* have said it, but this is what actual First Amendment violations look like and the fact that none of the supposed free speech warriors are saying anything about it tells us everything.

The U.S. is going to add trillions to the national debt to pay for tax cuts for the rich and more money for ICE and the military. Additionally green energy, food stamps and healthcare will get cut. It’s a class war in budget form.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.
