RIP to an Oregon legend

Portland isn't changing course on carrying out its land use violation against the ICE building.

Legal Arguments (in caps!) haven’t even been *articulated!* This man is mining law review articles from the 5th Dimension!

0. I love and have eaten all of these things in the past year.

I would really like to know the kind of person who would want this vanity plate. Fascinating.

The GOAT Moon Tweet

obv this cowardly shit but also y'all better not come slinking back in three years

My only hope in life is that for the 50th anniversary of the original Star Wars, they release an edition that is de-specialized BUT includes the deleted Biggs Darklighter scenes, which I consider ESSENTIAL:

Hell yeah. The country’s best train is getting better.

Arca?! Yes, please.

Everyone go subscribe to The Western Edge. Leah and Ryan have consistently done some of the most important and interesting journalism in the Western US.

This is easily the hardest thing I've ever had to write.

Perhaps Prince will face justice after all.

This is the closest person to me on the Bluesky map. I guess I should give them a follow!

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

Every Super Bowl ad is either about 1) loving your neighbor and not being a racist, or 2) butts. I’m into it.

Great work, Congresswoman. I’ll confess that I was pretty indifferent about casting my vote for you in 2024, but you’ve proven that indifference to be unfounded. Thank you for all of your efforts this past year and change.

this is a thick bilbo household always has been always will be

🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls. The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

My only thought on Trump's grotesque video is that someone should paste a screenshot of it into a Supreme Court merits brief to compel the justices to grapple, however briefly, with what they stand for.

I’ve been saying this. The oligarchs want to reduce the professional classes to menial labor so they don’t have time & energy to resist. As for the current working class, well, they can just die as far as the oligarchs are concerned.

I don’t know who this Betty Bowers is, but I’m putting her on mute. This photo of Don Je. was altered, obviously. She sucks for posting it, and sucks even more for not deleting it. Fuck you, @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social. We don’t need to engage in this bullshit.

Not surprised. Douthat is such an intellectual lightweight, and spiking this interview is just humiliating for him and the New York Times.

Hell yeah. Let’s keep it going! We won’t be satisfied until it’s lost $20 trillion in value, which might finally reflect its actual worth.

Wyden has been my Senator since I first moved to Oregon almost 28 years ago, so I’ve also been following his work closely. And yeah, this is extremely concerning.

We need a total and complete shutdown of Tims running for vice president until we can figure out what the hell is going on!

Goddamn. What a baller.

I despise historical preservationists SO MUCH. We need to start treating them like Nazis: punch first; ask questions later. www.wweek.com/news/schools...

The best of humanity singing to the worst of humanity. This is the way.

"In a well-functioning constitutional democratic republic, free speech, courageous newsgathering, and nonviolent protest are all permitted, respected, and even celebrated. In an authoritarian regime, that is not the case. Our nation is now at a crossroads" oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/02/03/f...

RIP, First Amendment.

ATTN: great things are again happening in China, ice level 🇨🇳

-National Security Strategy -Persian 201 -Cooking Techniques 3 -American Jurisprudence -The Literature of Phillip K. Dick

Outstanding! Bumped into Abe about a year ago at a Timbers game. Both he and Cider Riot are sorely missed.

when they tell you to go back to writing about gadgets www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

America is healthy again.

Great analysis from Juan Carlos Ordonez.

Once again, my Senator is leading the way on privacy and tech issues. Not something most people pay attention to, but so, so important if we want to keep government intrusion in check and protect civil liberties.

I'd like Minnesota Vikings players to speak out against Paul Allen, "the voice of the Minnesota vikings," who called us paid protestors and laughed about us "catching strays." Paul Allen is replaceable and will have a nice career on his far-right podcast, but needs to be off the air.

What a colossal waste of time. Keep the fuck away from my food and worry about things that actually affect the majority of Portlanders’ lives, @councilorgreen.bsky.social and @councilordunphy.bsky.social.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

If I were Tim Walz, I’d have an aide print this extortion letter from Pam Bondi on some nice, soft, double-ply tissue paper so that I could wipe my ass with it. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Wishy washy weasely nonsense. You can go back to collecting your Netflix checks and stay out of this, bub. No one fucking cares about your middling opinions.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Nailed it. This invasion has almost no connection to the need for immigration enforcement in Mpls. It has everything to do with the basest racism and Trump’s hatred of Somalis generally (and probably hatred of Ilhan Omar specifically).

holy crap youtube.com/shorts/hyqtA...

this has flown under the radar, but we are doing third-country detention in a country with a worse human rights record than North Korea
