Mamdani getting Trump to back down & even *compliment* him costs Mamdani absolutely nothing (& indeed actually shows his skills) & probably also saves a lot of vulnerable ppl in this city a trememndous amount of pain if it means Trump is less inclined to act shitty towards us bc of this meeting

Mamdani is going to bring him that snowglobe that plays "Memories" from CATS and we're going to get government grocery stores nationwide

Shocked, I tell you. Shocked! FFS

Tucker Carlson’s friendly interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes has led to a major reckoning in the Republican party. WIRED reporter @davidgilbert.bsky.social breaks it down. 👇 Read more here: wrd.cm/4nHcuKP

"It's an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the Trump administration has...contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public. These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security."

Portland City Councilor @counciloravalos.bsky.social woke up to her car and home engulfed in flames late last night. She had to grab her cat and escape to safety.

U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum did not equivocate.

Great week for Black reaction memes.

🚨HAPPENING SOON 🚨 Join me and @aguilar.house.gov at 5:30PM PT for a telephone town hall to discuss the state of play two weeks into the Republicans’ government shutdown. Tune in here: bynum.house.gov/TTH

I’m on the phone for a town hall with 13k people(!!!) sponsored by my Congresswoman @bynum.house.gov and I’m happy to pay taxes for this level of service! I love having my voice represented by her in Congress.

Couple hundred folks out welcoming the Feds to gorgeous Portland today #portland #warzone

I live in Portland & can confirm, it's total bedlam out here. The New Seasons only had two checkstands open, the cashier had pronouns on their nametag, and someone honked at someone else in the parking lot! At a four-way stop, no one would go first out of politeness. I barely I made it home alive.

Paging @tinakotek.bsky.social! Hello can you please make sure we can get our Covid vaccines without a prescription? bsky.app/profile/pbsn...

The Oregon Board of Pharmacy (OBOP?) needs to pull its head out of the sand. If not, @tinakotek.bsky.social needs to yank their head out of the sand for them. OBOP is two steps behind RFK Jr., who they absolutely need to get out in front of. ASAP. 🧵 1/x

A lion lounging in the summer heat at the Oregon Zoo in Portland was distracted by a hidden camera and gave viewers a closeup of the inside of her mouth as she bit it. #lion #oregonzoo #hiddencamera #portland #wildlife

I can’t stop thinking about this person I met last month who was from the east coast and responded so enthusiastically when I told them I used to live in Idaho and then told me they were going to visit Idaho Falls to see the falls with zero hint of joking.

Fuck you James Dobson

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

Me when people are shocked the republicans are doing the exact thing they’ve been planning for 30 years: 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

You know Idaho always be coming with the tater jokes. #NoKingsProtest

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

I'd like to see the Western Governors Association step up and articulate what's being done to water management in the west. Between cuts at NOAA, NRCS (snow survey folks), other parts of USDA like USFS, and all throughout Interior, things have the potential to go sideways quickly
