Shoutout to my comrades in “war-ravaged” Portland

It's more like Epstein is all over the Trump files

“There’s something deeply powerful about committing each day to a cause you truly believe in" www.theglobeandmail.com/life/social-...

I heard about these last year and they are BONKERS supercool!

INBOX: The Chicago News Guild joined others in suing ICE for attacking journalists at the Broadview facility. “Our members have a right, protected by the First Amendment, to do their jobs and report the news. They should not be targeted, injured or arrested for doing their jobs.”

You matter. 🏳️‍🌈

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

What a delight to learn that most people aren't in fact raging LGBTQ-phobic shitweasels

More good stuff

So, I turn on the radio & hear our president shouting, "Portland is on fire!" I grab my fire extinguisher & rush out into the yard to put out the flames & nothing. Not even a plume of smoke. Must be on the other side of town.

Good things still happening. They're just less bombastic.

I hate it when people kill other people and that’s why I’m a firm believer in understanding and confronting the seeds of violence so that people stop planting them We can only move forward into a better future if we are willing to have an honest confrontation with the past

I love maps. This one is particularly illuminating

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

Which is why I had cheesecake for breakfast!

Even the most devoted “alt” health advocates don’t gamble on “alt” aeronautics or “alt” electricians—because the risks are obvious and personal. The irony is that “alt” health itself exists only because mainstream medicine has been so successful people feel safe enough to treat it as optional.

I am grateful today a judge granted a restraining order to block the National Guard from being deployed in Portland. But Trump’s lawless provocation will continue. Our response is simple: stay calm and do not take the bait.

Sometimes I think about what problems could be solved by all the wealth being hoarded. I think about what could be done for the children of the globe, the animals, land, water & for the FUTURE, if just a few greedy men wanted to HELP. There’s no way to accept the evil choices they make.

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Yes, please. alt: I want to live in a country where we put flags half mast for Jane Goodall

This is a lovely blessing

It should be pointed out as often as possible that the people who want basic rights to be dependent on citizenship status would themselves fail a citizenship test based on that stupid, unconstitutional belief alone

Yackety sax playing in the background

This is not great news. Also, my first thought was "Why are they reporting a detection of AI in Saskatchewan... isn't it everywhere on the net now?" It's embarrassing how long it took me to recognize what I was reading.

Every time Donald Trump puts up a racist AI generated video of Hakeem Jefferies or any of my colleagues, I’ll put a new movie poster about Trump and Epstein. #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles

check your registration, folks. parks funding is on the line this november, please do not assume it’s automatically going to pass

this is great - we’re not gonna scicomm our way out of this

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

But also we’re terrified of the subway

I'm excited that we (CURA) are in the process of examining this purchase to provide 1) A history of how these homes got into Pretium's hands after the foreclosure crisis 2) Some best practices/learnings for the future if/when such a portfolio goes up for sale again to maximize public benefit

Pharmacists who recommend homeopathy should be willing to accept as payment envelopes that once contained money. - @davidjuurlink.bsky.social

this is basically portland's version of a haka

If there were ever an image that captured the state of the parties during the shutdown lead up, this was it.

Always just the best trolls

The worst marketing I ever saw was on a set of steak knives in Poundstretcher. The label said "SIMILAR TO AS SEEN ON TV." The best marketing I ever saw was on the outside of a camping gear shop in November, with a poster that said "NOW IS THE WINTER OF OUR DISCOUNT TENTS." Your turn.
