When Amy Goodman has to move on from last night’s election results and read the rest of the headlines

With Zohran’s victory, I shall begin my slow return to social media …. it is time 🪽🌝🪐💫

🕳️

Me watching the Slanted! Enchanted! footage in the PAVEMENTS movie

Really enjoyed Second Life: Having a Child in the Digital Age by @amandahess.bsky.social. The final chapter was like a mini-millennial-mom version of Naomi Klein’s Doppelgänger.

Mahmoud Khalil emerges from airport security with his wife Noor and newborn, legal team and Rep. AOC.

Portland: Rupert Kinnard will be at @floatingworld.bsky.social tomorrow (Saturday) 5-7! We're lucky to have a alt-comics legend in town. I wrote about why I think his new book is important here: www.portlandmercury.com/Comics/2025/...

An inside look at the Catch-22 the federal attorneys and immigration agencies are working to deport people legally seeking asylum in the U.S. Essentially, requiring people to show up to court, dropping the court case and then having immigration officers grab that person for deportation.

Kinnard's new book from @stackeddeckpress.bsky.social is the first available since a hard-to-find 1992 book. I hope it can introduce more people to his work and legacy as a Black, queer comics artist. Please order a copy and/or ask your local public library or academic library to order one too!

A lot going on today, as there is everyday, but also I wrote about Portland comics artist Rupert Kinnard's new book! He'll be at @floatingworld.bsky.social this Saturday.

give me a sec... i just learned "Utahn" is a word www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/u...

I found this whole interview very edifying after seeing MOUNTAINHEAD (2025) !

Isn’t David Lynch saying (if he said it at all) that AI is bad? We all have sharp knives, but we use them to chop vegetables and not murder people.

horrified and saddened by murder of Jonathan Joss 💔

Loved every line of this great, bittersweet recollection about making an independent magazine when the economics of media—and really, the very concept of “media”—was upended

NEW: The US government has collected DNA from over 100,000 migrant children—including a 4-year-old—and uploaded their genetic profiles into a national biometric database meant for sex offenders and violent criminals. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

PAVEMENTS (2025) premiere in Portland tonight

A researcher monitoring Axial Seamount, 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, says the eruption is expected to happen before the year is over.

Going insane reading this Politico story about Musk's AI servers poisoning the air of a 90% Black community in Memphis followed immediately by this Washington Post story about states lining up their own communities to host the next ones

Everyone went bananas for CONCLAVE (2024) when HBO’s THE YOUNG POPE (dir. Sorrentino) was right there. With a new American pope I can be silent no longer. Please watch this zany tour de force!!

Fiona Apple says fetch the bolt cutters and let pretrial detainees go home. youtu.be/ki1nvcNbYH8?...

Just finished ch. 35 in Careless People (the Facebook tell-all) detailing how the company basically handed the 2016 election to Trump. Sick stuff! Can’t imagine what awaits in the final quarter of the book.

"Aaron Ortega Gonzalez is a Mexican citizen and a PhD student at Oregon State, where he’s been researching the impact of wildfires on ranchlands. Ortega Gonzalez has reportedly been given no reason why the federal government ended his visa."

Good reporting here. Student paper gets what the bigs have missed. White House is actually threatening to defund all of bostons major hospitals www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Read Mahmoud Khalil's words at the end of today's hearing:

Your friend who is reading Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals and won’t shut up about it

The Uncle Sam Billboard is likely to come down. Is it weird that I’ll miss it? www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

What a legend! My favorite bit of trivia about the iconic Goonies poster is that he created 7 different versions that could be swapped in for the promotion of the film.

I downloaded my 23andMe information and then deleted my account (and data) a few months ago. In 2021, I wrote a comic for The Nib about DNA sites and privacy. It's a deal with the devil—but for some people, it's the only way to learn about their origins. thenib.com/its-all-rela...

My spread for the Severance finale isn’t lazy… it’s conceptual…

Not now, newspapers.com

If you're in WA, you can ask your reps to vote YES on HB1232 below. It increases inspection of private detention centers. Deadline: Wednesday.

Jesus this is bleak

me, back on mat, two minutes into Gentle Yoga, and realizing I have no memory of locking my bike up two blocks away.

done!

"The reason you should care about this is not that it could happen to you but that it is already happening to others. It is happening to people who, we claim, have rights just because we are human. It is happening to me, personally." M. Gessen

This is a flyer from what I believe was a 1935 mass meeting in Portland to protest Baer's deportation.

Thread!

My 60-something Pilates teacher began class by saying, “It’s March Madness. But I don’t like basketball. This is March MAT-ness.” She is undefeated.

I don't see "introduce articles of impeachment" on my #5calls topics list

Shocked at the amount of people seemingly shocked that the *Academy Awards* wasn’t more reverential toward David Lynch

Pdx, there are still ticks to No Other Land at the tomorrow theater! tomorrowtheater.org/movies/no-ot...

Fantastic review of ANORA by Marla Cruz on what the film gets wrong about sex work

Laughing crying throwing up at copy on the back of Social Security Administration mail i just got (scammers are pretending to be government employees)
