Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵: -The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

NO. We in fact want to ABOLISH ICE. Sure wish you would listen to anyone over your own fucking wallet. You are a coward. I really hope your constituents kick you to the curb next chance they get. Calling you a clown is an insult to clowns everywhere. 💩

I recommend submitting a complaint.

Says the man responsible for the one-time largest Medicare fraud in history. Anybody who would scam the country for close to TWO BILLION DOLLARS doesn’t come to the debate as an objective observer, a dispassionate advocate in the public interest. These absolute pieces of shit need to gtfo my gov.

Back in Portland!! I left Sydney at 10:15 pm today. Home before I left! 😂 Traveling through space and time.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS. WE HAVE, IN FACT, NOT IGNORED YOUR NOW-DEFUNCT HYPOTHESIS. WE INVESTIGATED IT TO THE TUNE OF STUDIES WITH DATA FROM MILLIONS OF KIDS.

I only remember a handful of Tweets from over the years. But one that will stick with me forever is when someone once said: We have enough money in this world to feed every man, woman, and child. But we'll never have enough money on this planet to satiate the insatiable appetite of billionaires.

Every time the shocking, perplexing tactic of “giving money to people who need it” is tried, it turns out to work. And yet people who have more money than they could ever need remain baffled.

I was randomly selected for a search at the gate. Definitely had nothing to do with my blue hair, I'm sure. 🙃🙄

Got to meet all my bff's kiddos, finally. Technically met her oldest already, but she was a baby then. What a personality!! Such a good trip to Canberra overall. Sad to be leaving, but ready to be home. Such a contradiction. Hope to be back much sooner this time, Australia. Until then. ♥️

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

You are a COWARD that has done nothing to actually help or fight for anyone. Get out of Congress you do nothing loser. Let someone with a backbone take your seat. The subsidies WILL expire. You probably won't even get a vote on extending them for 2027. What you are doing is worse than useless.

If this happens, I sincerely hope every Democrat that votes for it gets primaried. What even was the point of the last 40 days?! Cowards. 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

Hello Sydney!! It's been far too long. It's time to finally sleep, then off to Canberra to finally meet my bff's twins that are about to turn 5. About damn time.

Nonsense delay, but just made my connection. The brief stop was nice, Honolulu. See you again in a few weeks for a little bit longer.

Why do I care what language my neighbors speak? Why does that even matter? You will parrot any hateful trash you are told to say. This hateful 💩 wouldn't know an original thought if it bit him on the nose. Really hope everyone involved all get their just desserts. Monsters. Every. Single. One.

Currently somewhere over the Pacific. This was my final view of Oregon for about three and a half weeks. I will and will not miss you, USA. 😝

Thanks for the most appropriate send-off, Portland. Rain and fog and leaving before the sun is up. I will see you again in three and a half weeks!

Why must anxiety brain get in the way of sleep? I have an early flight to make and really should be sleeping. Of course not! Must not stop going over what I might have missed as if they don't have stores at my destination. 😝🥱🥱🥱

From @repdexteror.bsky.social “Oregonians, we need your help. ICE activity is increasing in our communities. If you see something, report it to PIRC's hotline (1-888-622-1510) and get your phone out to record it…. This evidence matters…. Stay loud.”

I really hope this arrives in time to take on my trip down under! #portlandfrog

@schumer.senate.gov is a cowardly piece of shit. They literally told you everything they are now doing. Where in the fuck have you been. Spineless asshole who is apparently also a clueless cuck. We see you. I REALLY HOPE your constituents are paying attention. Wish I could primary your ass. 🤡

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.

WHY. Can you get ANYTHING right @tinakotek.bsky.social? But I already know the answer. 🙄🤡

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Can you assholes just call it what it is instead of these pathetic word games. It's not an "end-run around Congress' funding power" it's a blatantly unconstitutional shutting of the wallet the WH SHOULD NOT HAVE. Fuck every one of you complicit assholes in the media aiding this fascist horseshit.

Really didn't expect the AP to be on board with genocide. Actually acting as a mouthpiece enabling mass murder. Absolute and utter cowards. The worst timeline.

This breaks my heart and enrages me at the same time. D.C. has been one of my favorite cities to visit, and seeing it like this hurts me to my core. These fascists need to get out of the city. Stop harassing innocent residents just trying to peacefully live there. Hope they get what they deserve.

Definitely can't have people actually comfortable in any way. Definitely the 15% that comes from just trying not to suffer through the increasingly hot summers and cold winters. Those of us just trying to LIVE. Definitely shouldn't focus on the other 85%. Gotta bow down to your fascist overlords. 🤡🤡

Not really enjoying living under authoritarian fascism, TBH.

Liar, liar, your pants are on fire. You all REEK of this fear. All to protect a bunch of pedophiles. The brown stain will never come off your face.

It's like they think we're too dimwitted to see very obvious tends. This thread is beyond frustrating but really shows how off the rails this SC is. I will never understand a coequal branch of gov just freely giving it's power away and limiting itself. What in the fuck is wrong with these people.

a man was just arrested at a D.C. congressional parking lot driving a Subaru with a tricycle strapped to the roof. inside he had a sword, a halberd, an AK-47 with a bayonet and 30-round magazine, an unlicensed pistol and a bow and arrow of course he's an Oregonian share.google/5r2nbKcwU1rV...

This entire thread but especially this. I paid all but the last $2500 of my student loans. That last bit was forgiven. I'm grateful but would never begrudge someone that had far more forgiven. What good does that do? I want things to be better for others, not just myself. What helps one, helps all.

Guess I missed the memo where we are now on the East Coast. One would think you want to launch your new team with your actual fan base in mind. 🤦‍♀️ Can they get anything right? I put in my season ticket deposit, we'll see if I just take it back or not.

I was there. It was phenomenal. Some exceptional performances.

Did you hear? A magical 3% growth in the economy will make that debt just disappear! Nevermind there's absolutely zero reason to expect any net positive change based on what is going on in Congress right now, but it could!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 The absolute worst timeline. 🤪😭

*Concentration camp Fixed it for you. Fascist enabling dipshits.

Honestly, anyone that has a modicum of empathy and actually pays attention. I'm an older millennial and I've been on this boat basically my entire adult life, so well over two decades. It's not new and all you had to do was listen to the younger generations that were already feeling the pain. 🤷‍♀️

Someday you'll understand that is actually their point. It always has been. You fuckers in the media helped them along the way.

Alright everyone, one last push. If you or anyone you know is: - LGBTQ+ - 13-24 years old - In the US Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health. It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :) trvr.org/survey2025

Doing the good works we need to see!! 😂😂😂😂 But really, it's actually disheartening to see that childish behavior. I lobbied in DC as part of my Associated Student body gov on behalf of my uni 20 years ago. We would have been SHOCKED by this behavior then. It's sad that this is now the norm. 😔

STOP HURTING THE MOST NEEDY TO HELP THE MOST FORTUNATE. Better yet, primary the shit out of a governor that believes in hurting the constituents that actually need her the most so she can get herself them 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵. @tinakotek.bsky.social is a disgusting human, as it turns out.

Sharing this one more time. They have attached this to a bill and they are actively trying to shut this valuable program down. STOP THE LYING HACK GOVERNOR @tinakotek.bsky.social! Probably gonna need to primary her ass next year. Such a pathetic disappointment of a governor.

If you want to let all your legislators and the hack of a governor know, this quick and easy link can help!

Really getting sick of Tina Kotek putting her nose in Portland's business. The people that actually live here made their voices heard, overwhelmingly. How about you let us decide and worry about the rest of the state. Really hoping we get a better candidate and can primary her ass next year. 🙄🙄🙄

Via ABC News's Rachel Scott, let's never forget for a minute what a classless scumbag the President is. x.com/rachelvscott...
