Hey I made it outside and apparently it’s spring

If you're thinking about running for Portland City Council in D3 and you believe in legalizing more housing, creating diverse, welcoming, walkable neighborhoods, fighting freeway expansion, protecting important programs like Preschool for All... give primarying Senator Taylor a thought instead.

I've been live-skeeting the inaugural Oregon Data Center Advisory Committee meeting today 🧵 for those of us with more sense and are out enjoying the beautiful weather

Kotek's rep directs the Data Center committee to start with considering tax implications, since that's a hot topic. Seems like starting with that leaves a lot of context out of the discussion!

I'm watching the first meeting of the Oregon Data center advisory committee, will be sharing hot takes today. First hot take: if none of the committee is a data center expert --- why not?

This is the kind of building which should be legal to build in every American city to solve our housing and climate crisis but it’s not because ???

Mayor Wilson: "Portland has a downtown like no other." I am begging Portlanders to leave the state and visit other places every once in a while. Downtown CAN be great, but this kind of statement makes me worried that we are not going to think big enough. www.portlandmercury.com/news/2026/02...

“We thought we were close to finding a cure for ourselves last year when the foundation’s name changed to remove the name of Bill and his ex-wife who divorced him over his association with a pedophile but unfortunately we were unable to also remove his last name.”

Nida Allam is an amazing candidate in North Carolina, one of the scrappy grassroots leaders I've supported through @workingfamilies.org. Her opponent in the primary can only make it using AIPAC-related dark money although she'd rather folks not know about that

Yay! A win!

ChatGPT, I need a line that can take my party’s favorability with Independents from 19% to 5%

The public should get to name any new Data Center or Chip Manufacturing facility their elected officials subsidize with taxpayer money: “Deepfake Revenge Porn Factory” “Armory for Innovative Killer Robots”

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

The Pentagon gave the AI company Anthropic an ultimatum to allow full access to its models by Friday. Anthropic has stated it won't allow its model to be used for mass surveillance or to develop autonomous weapons.

ICE still active in MN, where they kidnapped a MN teen, labeled him as “unaccompanied minor”, and hid him from his family

Morning. Migrants remain at Portsmouth, NH, airport after being stuck on an ICE deportation plane in a blizzard for 14 hours. Updated story with statement from DHS, including their plan to take off late last night, which appears to have failed. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/breaking-sha...

See, @pbotinfo.bsky.social, it's OK to use this for a snow plow name. I'm pretty sure it got a lot of votes here

Maryland is suing the Department of Homeland Security to block a planned ICE detention center in Washington County, saying the federal government failed to do a required environmental impact study and public health concerns. w/ @maddioneill.bsky.social www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Now, even Americans in red strongholds refuse to be complicit – nobody wants a concentration camp in their backyard

Americans are shutting ICE down, and we’re just getting warmed up

Peter Attia is out at CBS News after he appeared in 1,700+ Epstein documents

Epstein had close relationships with several CBP officers

The DOJ withheld documents containing allegations that Trump assaulted a minor. The underage girl behind the allegations is the very same underage girl that the DOJ found credible enough to use as a key witness in the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. We need answers.

I did not watch the SOTU, and I will not share any posts engaging with or debunking the lies he spewed. How about them Epstein files 👀

we are frog

Lee: We live in a country where we have one reality for everyday people and another for the rich and the well-connected and the well-protected. We have to change that. That’s why earlier today I announced that I'll be introducing articles of impeachment against Pam Bondi.

In the last year, Trump has made America sicker and poorer. His “Big, Beautiful Bill” was a Big, Ugly BETRAYAL of working families. We need to reject his families lose, billionaires win mentality and build a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.

"Fascism isn't destiny" - my short speech in DC tonight pre-butting the Trump State of the Union. zeteo.com/subscribe

Trump has brought us to a threshold that he cannot cross. But there is no such thing as normality. There is no going back. What comes next is open ... The opponents of authoritarianism can certainly win, in an uphill struggle, involving building big coalitions and thinking about better futures.

Watch what she does, not what she says. Follow the money - data centers are making billionaires richer and local communities poorer

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

Mmmk so let me get this straight: 1. Americans paid 96% of the cost of Trump’s tariffs in 2025, an average of $1000 per family. 2. The Trump regime collected $195 BILLION from tariffs 3. SCOTUS struck down the tariffs. 4. Greedy corporations now want refunds for the $ *WE* paid? THIS IS OUR MONEY!
