Stayed home from the march today bc im sick with a cough, looks like in terms of healthy air i needn’t have bothered

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Respect to the Blazers for respecting the general strike & refusing to show up 🫡

only had the game on the radio so far so it’s a little hard to track but basically what i’m getting is that everyone on our team besides Shaedon Sharpe sucks absolute dogshit? sounds like we’ve got about 10 guys on the floor who can’t hit a barn, and then Shaedon Sharpe? is that about right?

skin care win: thanks to a decade plus of consistent moisturizer and sunscreen application instead of looking 36 i look like an exhausted 32 year old

you already KNOW its a bobby floorplans joint!

i will be conducting a two-day general strike this weekend if anyone would like to join me

people want to do something and they want to help. unfortunately spreading a call for aimless real-world labor action does more to hurt than help. i have spoken with friends who own small local businesses who are now confused. are they just shooting themselves in the foot by closing tomorrow?

the difference between the Twin Cities general strike - based in community organizing, labor unions, active tracking of businesses that were confirmed to be shut down / participating, etc. - versus today's hastily put together infographic / influencer "nationwide general strike" - is so annoying

i’m being a hater about this but if anyone has written or read anything interesting and at least semi well considered about the nexus of waning union power + rise of social media w.r.t. things like mass mobilization i’d like to read it

i would respect this lady’s whole quirked up centrist pragmatist deal if she had actually gotten the LED headlights banned or whatever kitchen table issues she was pretending to care about

Powerful

giving a polite “thumbs up” react to the DM i just received containing an instagram reel informing me that there is a nationwide general strike occurring in 36 hours

The amount of money the US government spent on troops in DC in 2025 ($223m) would have been enough to give the city's ~5,100 homeless residents each $43,000. Instead, federal troops destroyed their meager encampments.

no way to avoid this says only team where this regularly happens

Never ask a woman how old she is Never ask a man how much money he makes Never ask a Portland Trail Blazer to inbound the basketball

losing the game to DC what are we, the freakin working class

Evan Turner always seems like a half sentence away from saying something that will get him kicked off the broadcast lol

this didn’t work

oh my fucking god (out of port of oakland apparently)

Joe Cronin seeing a team that primarily has guys on the floor who can actually shoot the basketball

i love losing to a team that seemingly cannot miss a three while being a team that seemingly has no interest in even getting close to making any

hitting free throws is loser shit... they're literally free. sorry my team are hustlers and grinders 😤

man fuck payton pritchard

man fuck payton pritchard

Keep them on

Luckily I will not have this game on for much longer

Having the game be nationally televised and not watching it on Blazervision means getting treated to a whole new crop of commercials for slightly different gambling apps 🙂

[ERIC ADAMS VOICE]: Minneapolis is the Gwangju of America

I've covered ICE / DHS for about a decade now and more ICE agents are willing to talk now than ever before. The confidence the administration is trying to project is absolutely not reflected internally.

kinda wonder when / if a push for a total rewrite of the constitution starts becoming mainstream. or if that's something that can only really happen after a much crazier rupture

Just heard from my carrier that this guy got fired.

luckily for the past decade, sabotaging, undercutting, and crushing the political aspirations of anyone even vaguely able to meet this moment has seemingly been the only goal of whatever passes for a national democratic party apparatus in this country

The Timberwolves-Warriors game in Minneapolis has been postponed by the NBA, sources tell ESPN, in wake of a man shot and killed Saturday in a confrontation with federal agents in the city. It's the second shooting there in a week, third this month, involving a federal officer.

ICE / DHS employees: I know there’s way more alarm internally than is public. Text me via signal at 202-510-1268. I’ll protect your anonymity

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

not really convinced burning a bunch of stuff down is going to lead anywhere productive but seeing people say "don't burn a bunch of stuff down you'll just give them justification to do whatever they want" are also pretty irritating. since they are already doing that

updated to ios 26 and now all my app icons are blurry. technology is awesome.

trade Deni & give Caleb Love his minutes

the portland trail blazers in january

Shaedon dunk had me like

complicated time to be a Blazers fan bc we have a guy that does big interviews about how people need to be nicer to the IDF but then on the other hand we have a guy who seems to be disproving the fundamental limits on dunking a basketball on a nightly basis

Do the right thing.

Caught this on the pregame show Brooke: “What was the team able to work on at practice?” Shaedon: “Uh, you know, offense and defense.”

Having a proud Zionist who openly denies a genocide his country is committing and the slaughtering of countless innocent people in front of all of our eyes, while sharing Donald Trump posts on his social media has put quite the damper on being a blazers fan, ngl.
