I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

[first day as a shepherd] boss: where are you going? me: [pointing] star boss: what? why me: [shrugging] baby

My favorite lines from folks when we ask them to not cross our picket line: "I'm not from here!" "But its my treat?" "I stand with you [goes inside]" "I just need a coffee!" [There's two coffee shops across the street]

Y’all still drinking Union-busting, DEI-divesting, genocide-supporting, unethical practicing, overpriced, ubiquitous-ass Starbucks in the year 2025 almost ‘26??

Liberal Gen Xers: where are all the young people?? Young People: Hi! Here we are :) Liberal Gen Xers: Wait no you guys don't look how I want :(

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media my latest for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2042...

That's cool what'd he say about the AIDS epidemic?

Dems are like "it's with a heavy heart that I voted to codify trans segregation, but it had to be done so Pete Hegseth can keep murdering fisherman in South America."

HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG

I like that when I joined bluesky it was a place for sickos to not be bothered by Nazis but now it has a reputation for being super libbed up so when I say something like "do you think Wolverine got regular boners or did it pop in and out like his claws" someone will stop by to say "VOTE!"

SOLIDARITY! Sunnyside WA farm workers were proud to participate in Starbucks baristas "Stop buying Starbucks Day of action." Farmworkers stand in solidarity w/ striking @sbworkersunited.org workers who've been fighting for a fair union contract for almost 4 years. #NoContractNoCoffee

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

Strikes are a very busy time if you're a socialist. Picket Line, DSA General Meeting, and then recruiting supporters at the happy hour. I'm not working and yet I'm busier than ever!

New: Activist Shot While Open Carrying at ‘No Kings’ Protest Will Not Face Charges, but Security Volunteer Will unicornriot.ninja/2025/activis...

Way too many people seem convinced that the day Trump dies all this somehow goes away. People will snap out of it. No one will be able to harness his base. I think this is simply wrong. But I also think Trump will still be “speaking” to MAGA after he’s gone.

We got Samwise Gamgee. I believe that we will win.

Today I filed a resolution intended to pursue Council oversight into the matter of the $21M that was found in the Portland Housing Bureau but not disclosed to Council ahead of budget discussions. I'm joined by @councilormorillo.bsky.social and @counciloravalos.bsky.social as co-sponsors.

Starbucks workers are STILL on ULP strike in over 130 cities and growing. Support our fight for better pay, scheduling, and protections - as well as a resolution to all outstanding unfair labor practices - by NOT BUYING STARBUCKS at ANY location for the duration of our strike!

the whole "portland peaked X years ago" nonsense is stupid boomer bullshit and you should feel bad for peddling that garbage

Lol before my union job, I was paying $350 a month for very subpar healthcare that changed every year because my employer kept switch plans. Paying an extra 8-12% in taxes would be cheaper.

I already have to see a primary care doctor before seeing a specialist?

People will say anything on here. Jon Benet Ramsey said if you're beautiful, you might be killed in service to your country. No she didn't. That's not true.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/3MTlm33

This morning, in the largest expansion yet, hundreds of new union baristas are walking off the job in 34 cities. That means there are now: 🗣️ 3,800 baristas ☕️ across 180 stores 📍 in over 130 cities on an open-ended ULP strike! We’re 👏 only 👏 getting 👏 stronger

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.

Ryan Coogler explains why he declined the invitation to join the Academy www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/m...

Idk who needs to hear this but being a doomer is complying in advance. It does not have "Fuck You, Make Me" energy. It is for the weak of will and mind.

The people in the replies being like "it won't matter once it gets to the SC" are so fucking annoying. We should introduce as many hurdles as possible even if they might clear the last one. Delaying the deployment for as long as possible is categorically Good & Correct. Quit being a Doomer.

Trump calling Jews who don't vote for him bad Jews and liberals calling Arabs who didn't vote for them bad Arabs is the same thing. Blue MAGA is real

today’s affirmation: I am within the acceptable range of deviation. I am a perfectly roasted quail. if I was a car the mechanics would find nothing weird or rodent related in my air filter. I am upright. There are no stones or excess debris in my shoes. I still have all my bones.

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

the majority didn’t vote for trump, and even if kamala had put up numbers equivalent to biden in 2020 she would’ve…won dearborn and still lost the election this obsession with attacking arabs in dearborn is really gross

"My child was perfect and has been replaced by a changeling baby," but in the year 2025.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

Giving parents the discretion not to vaccinate their kids is one of the strongest ways the state reinforces the parent-child relationship as one of ownership. Your parents have the ability to decide whether you will die of preventable disease, because you are their property not a person.

The invisible hand of the free market at work folks!

Steve Novick, to the right of Olivia Clark on this issue apparently

Whelp, I must report that I am rapidly aging. If you’d like to help take the sting off this brutal fact, the best way to do so is to make a campaign contribution today to support my reelection effort. That’s how we party at this late stage in life. secure.actblue.com/donate/m4pdx

ICYMI there is apparently lot of scandalous behavior happening on the administrative side of the city, including hiding millions of dollars from city council and firing the city employees who tried to tell them about it.

What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop. PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!! People need homes they can afford!

should not be complicated to grasp that we cannot have war crimes without a war — but we can and we do have murder, and when we've programmatically murdered scores of victims we have mass murder

"Their fair share" is a phrase liberals should banish from their vocabulary. All billionaire wealth, like a feudal landlord's rents, is unearned. The means by which they accumulated that wealth should be eliminated, and all their paper assets should be declared void.

We all know streaming sucks. But Tidal is better in every possible way than Spotify. It also doesn't run ads for ICE and, as far as I know, isn't invested in AI for the military
