50 years ago today! Happy Exploding Whale Day for those who celebrate! #ExplodingWhale #ExplodingWhaleDay #Oregon #OregonCoast #FlorenceOregon

Around the city and beyond people are looking for ways to help their neighbors who are losing food benefits as the government shutdown continues. Here are four restaurants that are doing what they can feed people in the community.

Heretic Coffee is a volunteer-run, nonprofit coffee shop that trains people to become baristas and coffee roasters. The coffee shop has been soliciting donations for less than a week to pay for breakfast for people losing SNAP benefits from the federal government www.oregonlive.com/food/2025/10...

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are obvious, evident Good Things. The attack on DEI -- being "anti-DEI" -- means advocating for their opposites, which are all obvious, evident Bad Things. The opposite of "diversity" is forced, enforced conformity in all things. All. Things.

Remember when The Magic Was Real? Seems like a lifetime ago. #rctid youtu.be/r2w5nVsIbHg?...

"Subdue the real domestic terrorists—i.e., drivers who don’t know how to merge onto I-5."

What a difference a decade makes. #rctid

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Oh my God turnout in little ol *Oregon City* is MASSIVE. Seven city blocks, both sides of the street, several people deep, easily WELL over 2000 in a town with a population of around 38K. I have lived here since 1993. Trust me when I tell you this unbelievable for this little purple town. #NoKings

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

No. 23 Oregon State men’s soccer takes a 1-0 lead on No. 4 Portland in the 14th minute on a goal by Fran Cortijo. Pilots riding a T-program record 21 match unbeaten streak. #GoBeavs

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious: - Super Bowl halftime entertainer - getting a Nobel Prize for Trump - terrifying naked bike riders Topics he thinks are not serious: - Epstein Files - domestic violence - being able to keep the govt open - the neutering of Congress

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand: We’re changing ERP systems.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

PORTLAND: “The frogs are multiplying” (#NotAWarZone Noem Matter what Kristi says)

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

This is something all too rare: A Republican asking himself, 'How would I feel if a Democrat did to me what Trump is doing to Democrats?'

happy 99th birthday to the opening of Providence Park. didn’t quite reach this claim of 100,000 seats, but its longevity is a testament to a lack of funds for replacements and begrudging acceptance 🙃 also grateful for images like this so the It WaS bUiLt FoR bAsEbAlL crowd doesn’t get started again

Keep in mind that Corey Lewandowski was a top aide in Trump’s 2016 campaign, so Kristi Noem probably thinks of herself as “the girlfriend of one of the founders of Fa.”

Say his name. He defends. We believe in Finn Surman. #rctid

Fear has no future.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

I am reminded of the words of @daviddark.bsky.social: “This nation needs an exorcism.”

Didn’t realize gas was that cheap in PDX ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ok, this is just funny. isportlandburning.com

Deflection as data point.

Hooray for backing into the playoffs! #rctid

President Trump said conditions continue to deteriorate. Here’s what the newsroom saw.

idk man, if you’re getting to the point where you’re accusing prosecutors, judges, and metro police of being the enemy, i am skeptical you have achieved the kind of consolidation you need for this kind of a project

New art not on the rails today. #BAONPDX

really odd the timing of this fixation on portland. sending the guard, sending the 82nd airborne, all these right wing influencers coming to stir up trouble, pam fucking bondi wading in and calling PPB antifa, all within like a week. 0-60. really feels like they just got bored with charlie kirk

"We are asking the Department of War to deploy to our cities" should be a statement that ends any Governor's political career.

What’s your sign?

BREAKING NEWS: Oregon sues Trump administration over unlawful federalization of National Guard. Read more.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

The ICE facility in "war-ravaged Portland" is located in South Waterfront, a former industrial area that's now one of the priciest areas, with a waterfront park, Pilates studios, and coffee shops. It's miles from the one downtown block Fox News made the center of anarchy a few years back.

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.
