There are very few stores left in Portland that aren't made of wood. FYI

#Pinks #ProudBlue I think people underestimate the importance of local elections. Local and city governments are the last line of defense against the tyrannical regime. Please get out and vote blue in every election.

The sailors in back of him are disgracing the uniform. And I don't say that lightly.

This military should not be serving as a backdrop to this kind of speech.

Trump & the GOP are not just saying they don’t want undocumented immigrants to have health care — they’re saying they don’t want millions of Americans to have health care if it means any undocumented immigrant gets cared for in an ER. Not “pro-life”. #TrumpShutdown

The deeper concern here is why it gets laughs. They are laughing because they see the U.S. declining to their level, and they see it as evidence that we never had anything meaningful to offer in the first place.

My brother teaches at a UK university and said they were optimistic that US policies under Trump would help them out.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

Everyone clear your schedules for October 18 and find the nearest No Kings protest.

Something to realize is that with Trump’s Antifa EO, and rolling invasion of cities, he’s basically encouraging any accelerationist—left, right, horseshoe, black pilled lone wolf shooter type, whatever—to do something stupid and/or awful to bring about societal conflagration.

This is right. Democratic Senators and Representatives can easily say “This is illegal and when we are back in power the people who did this will be prosecuted.” That takes zero Republican votes. We don’t need to wait for midterms for that.

And the more you convince yourself that you live under fascism, the more you will imbue yourself with a learned helplessness, because fascism cannot be fought in courts or at the ballot box. They die in war or by internal overthrow from their own military or inner circle. /5

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

And you can run, you can emigrate, but you can’t hide. Might as well help us face it down here.

Former NATO Chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen: "The most efficient and least expensive way to guarantee the security of #Ukraine would be to grant Ukraine membership in NATO.We should never,ever discuss NATO membership with Putin.It's not his business. It’s a decision to be taken between Ukraine&NATO

Is this dance hall Trump is building next to the White House a government building? Paid for by millionaires? Is there a Congressional authorization/appropriations process that’s being ignored?

Indeed. What they, and the Founders, could simply not imagine, is the absolute & total cowardice of everyone who swore oaths on bibles & now occupies positions of power under Article I of the constitution.

They are absolutely allowed to do that.

Sure does

JD Vance: "Gretchen, we are happy to send the National Guard to Detroit, Michigan. All you got to do is ask." #stopice #nationalguard #pinks #govnewsom #jdvance

And now Kimmel has been suspended for his remarks. AK Sen Murkowski is complicit in our new censorship state. Trump can only do this with the support of the Republican Congress, and Murkowski fully supports Republican control of this Congress.

AK Sen. Murkowski knows about the corruption, lawbreaking, and abuse of civil rights by this administration. Yet she supports the continued power of Republican party whose acquiescence makes this all possible. She’s willing to trade US liberal democracy for accelerated Alaska resource development.

There will be a point at the trials when the prosecutors are going to want to prove a depraved indifference to human life, and man are they going to be spoiled for material.

Unprecedented corruption "Steve Witkoff advocated to give the Emirates access to the chips at the same time that his and Mr. Trump’s family business was landing the crypto investment" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Extremist murders by ideology, 2013 to 2022. www.pbump.net/o/reassessin...

Disturbing. What watch? Kirk was a divisive right wing ideologue, not law enforcement. His “mission” was pushing a right wing agenda.This can only mean that Patel sees Kirk’s mission as the FBI mission.

You can’t compromise with Trump Senator Murkowski. Every concession you make is his jumping off point for his next demands. After a while, to live with your thoroughly compromised self, you’ll have to tell yourself he’s right.

#Juneau Our CBJ elections are coming up quick and if you aren't paying attention, there are some propositions on the ballot that could have substantial impact on city government. I made a couple little graphics to help visualize it. Feel free to share but also, let me know if you spot an error!

In his Oval Office address on political violence, Trump lists the attempt on his life, the Scalise shooting, and attacks on ICE agents. He does not mention Jan 6th, the attack on the Pelosi family, the Hortman murders, the kidnapping attempt on Gretchen Whitmer, or the fire at Gov Shapiro’s house.

Basically every single Democratic politician has already condemned the shooting but right-wing pundits are calling the entire Democratic Party a ‘domestic terrorist’ organization that needs to be shut down.

A physical attack on someone exercising their constitutional right to speak is an attack on all of us. The content of the speech is irrelevant. This is another sad day for America.

My immediate reaction on hearing about this was fear and dismay. As a nation, I feel like we are on the edge of a great violence that could sweep us all away.

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.
