#GivingTuesay, is a great day to support @publicjustice.bsky.social We’re out here fighting corporate abuse and protecting our fragile planet. We’re fighting against the for-profit carceral system and doing other hard, important things. You can help! www.publicjustice.net/donate/

Building my follower count the modern way: ai bot accounts with pics of fetching young women sporting platitude laden bios. (Hi “Mary”!) Is this a great world, or what?

Epstein “alleged” in emails that Trump knew or that Trump was there? No @nytimes.com. He “wrote” or “said.” His emails and his statements are not pleadings or indictments. Can you please do democracy a solid and report accurately and without shading?

“Standing up to Donald Trump didn’t work. It actually gave him more power,” Sen. Angus King. “10 out of 10–no notes.” -Neville Chamberlain, probably

We will starve hungry Americans. We will cripple our transportation network. We will occupy American cities. We will kidnap people and disappear them. We will do anything and everything so that everyone forgets about the Epstein files and that the president is a pedophile.

LinkedIn just told me I should follow Bari Weiss. What I take from that is that I should delete my LinkedIn profile.

Yo. Longhorn Nation: Are we Trumpian surrender monkeys? Sign this petition to let UT leadership know that we stand for academic freedom. alumni.standforcampusfreedom.org/petitions/un... #Hook’em #Longhorns

They didn’t like the sandwich. Next time maybe throw them a pie?

Why yes! These are saffron crocus. And yes, it is harvest time. #SantaCruz #magicalgarden #luckiestguyintheworld

Today, it’s a cause for celebration. But I’m old enough to remember when going en banc in the Ninth Circuit was a bad thing. (It was just after the dinosaurs.) #LawSky #OldSchool #ButAftertheDinosaurs

Things I won’t be reading, and the pathetic pro-fascist pinheads who have a platform. Shit likes this makes @nytpitchbot.bsky.social irrelevant

W00t!

This guy has been through it. He worked with us after he got out of prison and as this was unfolding. He’s brilliant and clear eyed. He will never get back the time he lost. But I know he will be a fearless lawyer on the side of people. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

A gorgeous fall day here in the burning hellscape of Portland.

💯

In Portland today, I stumbled into an antifa meeting.

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

And good on you Secretary of Defense Hegseth for announcing the deployment of Texas troops before the start of the hearing on the second TRO in Oregon. Sir, if I may speak directly and candidly: it was a remarkable flex that had quite the impact.

Mira pendejo. Don’t fuck with Oregon. That is all.

“Whether we choose to follow what the Constitution mandates with respect to these three relationships goes to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the United States.” Judge Karin Immergut Oregon v. Trump (opinion and order granting Temporary Restraining Order)

State of Oregon v Trump Temporary Restraining Order GRANTED W00t!

Great explainer/resources from @publicjustice.bsky.social and allies about Trump’s illegal immigration fines. noimmigrationfines.org

Incompetence or straight up fraud? It’s so hard to tell with the Trumpkins.

Oregon sues Herr Trump over the federal occupation of Portland. Good on you @danrayfield.bsky.social and @tinakotek.bsky.social for taking on this fight. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

The war continues

Know your rights. www.ojrc.info/kyr

If Portland Police Bureau is calling out ICE, the feds have to be way out of control. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

Query: why is #FoxNews not flying the flag at half staff?

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Kenny Garrett at Kuumbwa Jazz? Yes please!

Query: Are we now going from civil war to nvm?

Reality can be such a bitch.

Wtf with the flags at half mast and the words of praise? The murder is horrifying. But so was the victim. Dems who are sanitizing or celebrating him are WAY wide right of the mark. We can condemn political violence and murder without making a monster into a hero. Nuance isn’t that hard.

Is now a good time to talk about gun control, or nah?

“The government sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where people are hired for day jobs such as construction, landscaping, agriculture or car washes…and who do not speak much if any English.” -Justice Kavanaugh

The problem with my insomnia is that it is productive. Working out the answer at 4 am is satisfying but exhausting. It’s an inconvenient part of my wiring that is both a blessing and a curse.

Oh, he’s got game.

Today’s SCOTUS “decision” marks another day of doublespeak and racism. Is it the shittiest ever. Nah. But it’s up (down?) there at the top/bottom. Need help with the details? I do. Thankfully, we have people like @sifill.bsky.social in our world. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

💯

To protect white people, colleges absolutely, positively cannot consider race in admissions. And hiring decisions that consider minority status are forbidden. But ICE can go after brown people with impunity because everyone knows that brown people violate the law. Fucking racists.

I’m old enough to remember when we didn’t have to worry about SCOTUS decisions until the first Monday in October.

Thread of hope and how resistance can win out. Keep going!

Query: Is sending federal troops to Chicago or Portland less inane than fighting a land war in East Asia or more?

Oh Hell yeah, DC.

Herr Trump is talking about a federal occupation of Portland. A Portland welcome would come quickly, I imagine. It’s clear that Oregon leaders will go to court to challenge a federal occupation. 1/

Good explainer on a thick but important issue of whether Herr Trump violated federal law when he sent troops to LA. This is going to continue to be a thing, as they’re not stopping.
