Who is in the bike lane now? #bikelaneuprising #goparksomewherelegal

What do these corporations all have in common? -Lockheed Martin -Palantir -Microsoft -Amazon -Comcast -Google -Apple -Meta -HP -Nvidia -T-Mobile They all have lucrative government contracts — and they're all donors to Trump's $400M ballroom.

If evidence has been destroyed, juries are instructed that they can assume that evidence would have shown the defendant's guilt. The Trump administration releasing only a portion of the Epstein files, and blacking out so much text in the files they did release, is clear evidence of Trump's guilt.

Waymo? I'll walk, thanks.

I’m down visiting parents in ashland and there are a LOT of houses with the “we’re going electric” signs — ashland rebates heat pumps or offers no interest loans with payments tacked into your electric bill which makes it doable for more folks weighing the options

But so much easier with the cooperation /participation of the electric utility (and utility regulators). The demise of NW Natural could / should be in PGE's (and Pacific Power's) mid- to long-range business plan.

Basically, any fossil fuel transition will require that the electric utility be more attractive than the gas utility to users. On price, reliability, service, etc. They should compete openly and aggressively in the marketplace *and public policy* rather than sitting back enjoying their monopoly.

moving back to Portland has been a little sobering for me in terms of just how entrenched NW Natural is in our infrastructure. it’s not like that everywhere! a physical legacy of ascendant “centrist” poltics (that, then as now, really just launder hard right fossil fuel mafia shit)

Oh there’s Mike Johnson. Let’s ask him about The Epstein Files.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

"I wanted to go out on top!" "Everyone knows you're a bottom, honey." #SNL

How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀 LA tow truck driver who towed ICE’s car found NOT GUILTY 🦸🏽‍♂️

To report 2.7% inflation for November, the Trump Admin excluded data on food, housing, electricity, clothing, medical care, and most other categories. In fact, only 3 of more than 20 price categories were included in the calculations, making the report meaningless. Actual inflation is much higher.

as a nearly thirty year laptop user, from an at-the-time obsolete monochrome 386 to my late 10s thinkpad, hooray! that laptops have finally become basically reliably good they're lightweight, performant, affordable- in the 90s you could have one half of one of those, then later you could have two

the banfield freeway is going to be so cool when we turn it into a park with a multi use greenway path and tracks carrying 30 max trains per hour

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

Small business owner successfully stops ICE goons in northern Illinois.

Pretty much sums up America today.

NEW: After months of the government telling the court under penalty of perjury that the US Attorney alone made the decision to charge Kilmar Abrego with a crime, there is now EVIDENCE tying Todd Blanche to the decision. More to come on Substack... storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Low sodium chicken bone broth is awesome cause it’s high in protein and I can just chug a bunch of it in a coffee cup. In the winter, it’s basically soup

What the actual fuck? The DEADLINE was yesterday. Sure Dems, come on out and tell us how they broke the law by not releasing all the documents, redacting hundreds of pages, and adding photos of Bill Clinton that had nothing to do with Epstein. Where are the US Marshalls? The DEADLINE was yesterday.

Sometimes, life calls for a Christmas kitten. Meet Ziggy Stardust 🎄💫

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

In Moscow, they call her “our girl Tulsi” for a reason.

You would think they’d be better at this with the consequences being so high.

PORTLAND You listening?!? #Mm

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

Unfortunately for them, that was named by Congress. They lack the legal right or power to do it.

911 Went Silent as ICE Boxed in Portland Woman’s Vehicle: ‘Police Are Completely and … A Portland woman says police failed to respond after ICE agents boxed in her vehicle near Beaverton City Court.

They even have an Augmentor!

So I went to an audio supply store in Portland called Fred's Sound of Music. I brought in my Organ Grinder Pizza record to test out my turntable. The guys were reminiscing and played 2001 A Space Odyssey on a $15,000 sound system. What a treat. It was GLORIOUS

So we have traveled to #Portland #Oregon for the first time, and. my god - what a beautiful city. 😍

Why did this get redacted?

While prices for starter homes in San Francisco have surged, Portland has seemingly found the key to produce “missing middle” houses for first-time buyers.

Why is it so Portland just to take the kids for a drive?

Portland, you know what to do.... Abolish ICE Wreck ICE Remove ICE

Not the first (Portland [Oregon] Public Schools renamed Woodrow Wilson High and James Madison High Schools 4-5 years ago because of their association with racial segregation and slavery), but likely the most removed, by far.

I also feel like we're not talking enough about how warm this December has been. This December in Portland was like April in Massachusetts. I have mosquito bites and bugs hang out by my porch light every night still. That's not right! I am not comprehending that Christmas is next week.

Portland is both large and effective.

More and more are saying. There are small chapters that are good because they are effective for their scale. And there are big cities that don't really have an effective chapter relative to what they should for their city's size. But nowhere has both scale and effectiveness quite like NYC-DSA.

we've got whole-ass dumpsters floating down the river in Portland

In case you have been wondering how things are going in Seattle these days
