We even showed up in deep red Victoria, Texas! There’s no place our campaign won’t go.

We also showed up in Brownsville, Texas!

South Texas showed up for us. I'll keep showing up for South Texas.

Okay but the Portland farmers market is a well known hotspot for the notorious Venezuelan gang Trendy Arugula

Portlander here. I have Healthcare (for now) AND the military coming to my city. What now, Hakeem?

shocked that this hasn't gotten as much coverage as Schumer's numbers him dropping so hard would seem to suggest that he's vulnerable

Incredibly funny things are about to happen...

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.

pathetic, go down there and do a press conference

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Sending federal troops into our cities doesn’t make communities feel safer. If anything, it sows distrust and fear.

you. would. think. bsky.app/profile/emro...

this is probably a more realistic approach but we cannot lose sight of crypto being Bad because it has 1 (one) positive use case

Portland is a beautiful and vibrant city—it is not a war zone.     The President needs to keep the military out of the Pacific Northwest.   This is yet another abuse of power. Leaders across America—in government, business, everywhere—need to push back.

Scenes from ‘war ravaged’ Portland today. My message to Trump’s troops: You are not needed. You are not wanted. Go home.

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.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Like I think this courts favored outcome is punt on standing and stay the lower court. Let it wind it's way through the court after the damage has been done, call it moot or something and avoid any judgment on the actual merits.

you know things are bad if cops are complaining about other cops

I actually don’t think we should victim blame protestors for what the feds are going to do. We’ve seen them do it to perfectly peaceful protestors. People need to be wise, use discretion, and center those most impacted, and I truly detest this rhetoric.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Trump is using his 2020 playbook again, but I want Portlanders to remember what 2020 was actually like. 🧵

Trump has escalated his attack on Portland by deploying more Feds to Portland for the purpose of intimidating and silencing our community, so that we comply in advance with his fascist regime. Don’t acquiesce. Join an org, talk to your neighbors and build solidarity networks to keep each other safe.

humbling and gratifying that this has blown past my wildest expectations and raised $7,326 and counting, so of course I'm gonna do an end-of-week push: give to fund the NJ Dem downballot ground game, stop the bleeding in urban NJ, and knock out suburban Republican incumbents in purple districts

liberals who can take AND land a punch in defense of what they believe in

increasingly feel like on a personal level i am very close to some kind of major crisis

telling voters to go fuck themselves on an issue that you are currently polling the worst on is a hell of a move, donnie

i am less convinced than others that SCOTUS is going to destroy the 14th amendment, personally. but if they do, we are truly off the reservation and it's approaching time for armed insurrection

anyway the fact that crypto is the canonical solution to this problem is an epiphenomenon of trans folks being overrepresented in software. i think every cryptographer i know except one is trans.

jesus christ, file that under "takes sure to age like milk"

Trans friends: If you're living somewhere that's not safe or likely to become so, Colorado is about as safe as anywhere gets and Denver even more so. If you have questions about moving here, or if there are ways I can assist in making it happen (where to look, finding a realtor, etc.), let me know.

an aside; i genuinely think the actual near-term answer is blue state governments embarking on a project to make it as easy as physically possible for minorities to flee to their states. this is a very tangible ask and is in the self-interest of every blue state

it's frustrating when you can see a decency in people you are arguing with but they cling to a really stupid opinion and refuse to even engage with an alternative if you think there's a legitimate conversation to be had then act like it!

like what happens when the crypto bubble bursts exactly bsky.app/profile/vele...

Fuck crypto.

We are hearing reports of increased federal agents in Portland. Let me be clear: Trump wants to tell a story of Portland that does not reflect who we are. The Portland we love is strong, compassionate, and unwavering in our commitment to protect our neighbors.

I am committed to holding ICE accountable, fixing this broken system, and ending the injustices that Rafael Arriola Caballero’s family experienced for good.

look up and watch the full interviews he does. lots of tolerable moments. Don't assume viral clips of someone saying something shitty accounts for the totality of their views, you're falling into the same trap that Trumpists do

Erza Klein is a nominally smart person that has a lot of good observations, and also a fair amount of really bad ones

Jesus fucking christ

Court reform is a precondition to restoring our democracy and we can't wait for term limits.

no the fuck it hasnt

Democrats aren't going to win Arkansas but like, what about Maine or North Carolina or Iowa or Ohio or Texas or Alaska

doesn't the polling show Zohran getting a consistent plurality of Jewish New Yorkers in the general election lol

"Trans women are different to cisgender men and feminising gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) results in rapid and dramatic changes in the body. Some of these changes factor into physical performance."

Charles de Gaulle opposed everything that Putin, Orban, and Vance stand for. He was willing to "betray" his nation to oppose them.

"Basket of Deplorables" and "Bitter Clingers" were point-for-point identical, a too-pungent passing piece of rhetoric extracted from a speech and weaponized to make it sound as if speaker had been saying the exact opposite of their explicit message

An honor to attend Jummah prayers today at Dar Al-Taqwa Islamic Center in Flushing.

oh this is not even going to be close I see
