And with the City of Portland sitting on millions in unused funds that could be used, among other straightforward things, to keep people facing emergencies and tragedies in their homes. Oh, and a mayor obsessed with cots.

Should Democrats move to the center to chase the median voter? It's the wrong question. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/pundit-bra...

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Okay, if the GOP is suddenly onboard with releasing the Epstein files, now do this one. Haunt your congressional representatives’ phone lines and dreams until it’s all laid bare, my friends.

Journalists: I’m begging you to have a response to this. I’m begging you to demand your employers have a response to this. To hell with access. This is a threat.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I got federal charged for dancing across the street from ICE in my neighborhood on Indigenous People's Day. Here is the feds evidence photo they are using against me in court. I really really need a good lawyer but I cant afford one. Cash app $cozca Venmo @cozca503 Working on a go fund me.

in the year of our lord 2025 you can legitimately find yourself wondering whether people are talking about the president or a member of insane clown posse

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

in light of sandwich guy I am contractually obligated to remind you that jurors can always prevent a conviction by choosing to say "not guilty" 🙂 the power to refuse to convict is espech important rn given the Trump admin's rampant criminalization and repression of dissent (and other freedoms, too)

This person took this when they called the race

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the sandwich artists who prepare the sandwiches, and the attorneys who defend the right to wield them. These are their stories.

an aperitif for madame?

You can have democracy or billionaires, not both.

The Electoral College is DEI for Red States.

AOC: There was a day before his presidency, and there will be a day after — and it belongs to us.

drive the elite cowards out right along with the fucking fascists

Oregonians, we need your help. ICE activity is increasing in our communities. If you see something, report it to PIRC's hotline (1-888-622-1510) and get your phone out to record it.

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

I am reel Amrecan from Tennessee oblast, you should not go No King rally, very dangerous, they will get you photo and put black bag on babushka.

Protesting this weekend? We've got resources for that. Visit our website for details of upcoming know your rights trainings, printable signs for your home and workplace, a training video, and other info. www.ojrc.info/kyr

If I wanted to disrupt a protest, I'd start a rumor that the regime was going to send agitators to infilitrate the protest and act up. Then I'd sit back and watch them all act like cops and turn on each other. We go through this every 3 years and it works every time.

THREAD. Did you know that at about 1/3 of all stranger homicides in the U.S. are perpetrated by police? But there's something hidden here that is important to understand in this authoritarian moment.

damning thread on how the IDF's propaganda arm is scraping 3D assets intended for things like games, films, or architectural purposes and kitbashing together supposed hamas bunkers and iranian nuclear sites. a genocide campaign propped up in part by someone's nephew who got too into blender.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

If it were about crime they’d be targeting male citizens. They’d be talking about the only crime that’s increased in the 2025 statistics: domestic violence. Instead the people most likely to commit violent crimes—especially domestic violence—are the ones empowered to roam the streets in masks.

“States can’t ban conversion therapy but they can ban gender-affirming care. They can’t regulate ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ but they can ban abortion. This is required by the Constitution. If you say we’re just doing politics you’re responsible for political violence.” —The U.S. Supreme Court

Did you or a friend or a family member get attacked by Trump’s brown shirts this weekend? I’d like to hear about it and maybe do something about it. My email is jchavez [at] ojrc [dot] info. Please put “Seeking Legal Advice re: ICE Building” in subject line. All inquiries are confidential.

THIS is the story national media needs to pick up in Portland. MAGA accuses their opponents of all the things THEY are doing. In this case it’s a well-funded influencer network coordinating with Noem to instigate violence on the ground and create a false narrative that aligns with Trump’s lies.

People are asking: Why is Trump screwing American farmers so badly when they’re his most loyal voting bloc? Maybe because it’s a cheap land grab. Run farmers out of business, then he and his billionaire buddies buy up millions of acres for pennies on the dollar. Are the farmers catching on yet?

The government is rounding people up and putting them into camps and nobody is talking about it as political violence Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Sarah Kendzior wrote that the phrase "Nobody saw it coming" basically just tells you who society deems to be "nobody". (Scholars, experts, poets and artists saw it coming. Black women saw it coming. Disabled people saw it coming. Trans, gay, poor, indigenous, marginalized people saw it coming.)

Now imagine if this was everything

The great news is, if you successfully resist the MLM-like pressure from vapid MBAs in your organization, you can take an active role in helping the worst humans who have ever existed lose half a trillion dollars.

Bill Kristol, like every Iraq War cheerleader, owns his share of this, but what's useful is that now supporting the continued existence of DHS makes you *to the right of Bill Kristol"

“Yes, Republicans have gutted healthcare, but the nice young men working with them have offered you these MAGIC BEANS to fix it! It’s definitely not a trick to do fascism! Why won’t you take the magic beans???” (Meanwhile, democrats irl: “Good news, we used your money to buy these magic beans!”)

it takes a genuine marvel of lechery and talentless gall to be the most repellent hack in all of hollywood, but somehow bill maher does it

It is very late to get off the bus supporting this war effort, but it is not too late. Have a think; are you really going to be the last person you know making excuses, as the situation gets worse and worse? If not, why not get ahead of the curve and stop now?

Make Trolls Inexplicable Yet Harmless Maniacs Again

We have to reset our priorities from top to bottom.

How many times do we have to remind people: the chatbot *cannot* admit to *anything*. It *doesn't know*. When you ask it about itself, it generates its answer the same way it generates your request that it write an email. It takes what you tell it and responds in way to sound plausible.

these dipshits are going to dunning-kruger humanity right off a fucking cliff

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

I think talking immediately about how it's too bad Zohran can't run for president or how Lander should run for Congress is missing the point. we don't need to elevate individual heroes as high as possible, we need to find as many principled people as possible and empower them everywhere

pretty sure thomas would burn the constitution to the ground for a shrimp cocktail. he ain’t turning down a ride on a private jet.
