You sorta have to think of yourself as building a new counter culture to the capital death cult and that's going to mean you're in league with a lot of other weirdos, and you have to get comfortable with that. Or, if not comfortable, you simply have to acknowledge your job is solidarity not coziness

I just had the most harrowing, shocking, jaw-dropping surreal 2 hours at the Fred Meyer pharmacy on Barbur. If you were there, we are married now. It will go down in the books as the most fucked up pharmacy night ever. To the techs, I am sorry. That was all complete shit. I would quit tomorrow.

hello new followers i also hate the democrats

LOL Feckless

Ah those helicopters last night WERE government. oooOoOOo scary

Fireworks question mark

I have yet to see a troop

all this is going to do is make me and all of us more rabidly portland partisan. sorry i know it's annoying we'll tone it down when the feds leave. but in the meantime PORTLAND FUCKING OREGON

Reporting from “war ravaged” “crime-ridden” Portland, Oregon.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Hoping to see @councilorgreen.bsky.social at a protest w a hot dog cart and a sign that says, “Franks Not Tanks.”

Trump announced that he’s directing federal troops to Portland. Portlanders look after each other, and that’s how we’re going to overcome these threats.🧵 ✅Report suspected federal agent sightings to PIRC’s hotline (1-888-622-1510) instead of spreading rumors on social media.

✅Check in with your neighbors: can you help buy groceries if they don’t feel safe leaving the house? ✅Make sure you have a password on your phone instead of Face ID or fingerprint ID. ✅If you choose to demonstrate, share your location with a loved one.

❌You don’t have to speak to a federal agent ❌You don’t have to consent to a search ❌You can ask if you are free to leave ❌You don’t have to give your immigration status, ❌You don’t have to let federal agents in to your home if they don’t have a warrant signed by a judge.

I actually don’t think we should victim blame protestors for what the feds are going to do. We’ve seen them do it to perfectly peaceful protestors. People need to be wise, use discretion, and center those most impacted, and I truly detest this rhetoric.

I’ll be in Portland today watching a soccer match, eating dinner outside (it’s a beautiful fall day here), maybe going to a bookstore because life in Portland is totally normal. But in case I’m met with the “full force” of the US military during my regular rounds, it was nice knowing you all.

this city isn't even AWAKE yet. you can't be posting like this about us. portland won't be awake for another three or four hours, the alleged war's gonna be over before anybody notices

I encourage all the media outlets who are about to send people to ”war ravaged” Portland to think twice. Some of the strongest extremism reporters in the country live in this region; journalists who understand the culture of the Northwest and the history of activism here. Do it right this time okay?

Ok well I guess I will carry on with my day including but not limited to drinking some coffee, doing laundry, and reading the new Murakami.

Oh no a handful of rapscallions are blowing bubbles and dancing to trance in blow up dinosaur costumes

this is just fucking insane. i feel like i'm hallucinating reading this. we just finished getting hot cocoa and blackberry thyme coffeecake and now we're taking the babies to an ancient forest to watch the old people doing tai chi. this could not be a calmer happier city

There is literally nothing happening here. This is just fucking embarrassing.

Even if you dont have money to give, im going to need for yall to start boosting some of these fundraisers because things ar getting really bad in Gaza.

i'm 800 free subscribers away from a huge milestone for the handbasket. think we can do it? www.thehandbasket.co/subscribe

No

People who hang out on TikTok and Instagram: please repost reactions and explanations from the disappointed unRaptured

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

Well, that's darkly ironic.

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

This is what all our *currently* elected officials should be doing, and not nearly enough are. We need people who are willing to stand up against fascism, not weak-willed appeasers. Good on you, @katmabu.bsky.social

O how full of briers is this working-day world!

If I don't see multiple ~media reporters~ columns about the extraordinarily irresponsible Wall Street Journal report from yesterday morning — and their extensive promotion of that inflammatory report — you all should just pack up and go home.
