"dismissed 'all' police as bastards" is tombstone worthy

imagine laying off a politics reporter based in portland oregon in the year 2025

Super pretty day in Portland today. Here's the view from my window 😊

This is our new mayor

Can't believe I missed Walz running the Portland Marathon today

Read this thread from a great Portland reporter! The New York Times running this story today is absolutely calculated. It has been positioning Portland for years as a progressive villain. Also: why send a reporter from the Bay when the NYT has at least two reporters who actually live in Portland.

this is the funniest fucking lede image. anyone who has been to portland will be like "??? what is that"

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

I have generally been heartened by Pritzker's rhetoric, but we need more right now than him telling us to keep filming ICE. People have been detained for doing that. People across Chicagoland have been brave, and we need brave leadership. We need more of a plan than urging individual action.

Did he just declare war on four American cities?

Am I reading this correctly? A grad student ... in Computer Science ... enrolled in an undergraduate seminar ... in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program ... where he ignored the readings and hijacked discussions to talk about Israel and defend its actions in Gaza? What the hell?

You know what's condescending? Ezra staying outright that he's seeking the right combination of words to fool the rubes of the American public into giving him and his team power, while being explicitly and repeatedly told by his interviewee that it's better to just Believe Something And Say So

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Snobby but idc: Reading these replies reminds me of a college poetry class where I was the only student who suggested that maybe "In The Desert" wasn't about literal heart eating.

Enjoyed this one after reading too many "not enough xeno!!!" takes

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Jeremy Carl who retweeted this?

“stating policy” is now “jokes” today.

lol new clown car just rolled up

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

This explains it better than I can

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

the "tax the billionaires" political refrain is Good Actually in part because it is a call for the people at the top to actually be constrained by rules informed by the public interest, a virtue that fingerwagging correctives about how much revenue such taxes would *really* generate doesn't address

another of the things I will keep saying is that we have an elite impunity problem and nothing will improve until and unless we change that

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

Stole this but it’s mine now

That’s the honesty I want to see

This is one of the ways that white supremacy weaponizes civility: by implying that certain people get to be served, and other kinds of people (you know what kinds) need to be grateful, without interrogating it.

no class free pizza for all seniors is a sentence that makes me feel like i have a concussion again

MY SOURCE NEWS OPINION WORLD is the name of a YouTube channel made by someone who believes the covid vax gives you syphilis

What if there were already some sort of contest where people were able to choose between them, I wonder how that would go

I'm a professor at the flagship university for the fourth whitest state in the US. Over 80% of our students are white. The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country. We also have a food pantry.

Reminder that Elon is still suing Media Matters in like 15 different venues for reporting that Nazi content even appears on Twitter. Now the bot that’s trained on the site’s tweets sounds like Rappin’ Goebbels.

So this was accurate

This is the plan and they just took the budget to fund it from $30B to $160B.

ICE shot a reporter... "Nick Stern, a British news photographer based in Los Angeles, is set to undergo emergency surgery for a wound sustained during the standoff between police and anti-Ice protesters in Los Angeles on Saturday."

Love this for her

On Twitter, LA Times USC beat writer Ryan Kartje shared these images of the Cybertruck Alijah Arenas was driving early Thursday morning. LAPD is now saying Arenas is in stable condition, per Kartje's reporting, adding that the Cybertuck "burst into flames after being taken to a nearby tow yard."

I just wanna say that these are the kinds of questions and pushback that we have been asking for. The answers are terrible, but the interviewer is doing their job.

you can't complain about the male loneliness epidemic and then criticize my solution of making group chats about classified Yemeni war plans

Fondly remembering when my Kroger-owned grocery store was closed 5 days (including Labor Day weekend) due to rat droppings, insects in produce dept, and broken meat freezers.

Trump take $79.95

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.
