Dems absolutely should filibuster any relief unless it is combined with legislation to end the tariffs that caused the problem in the first place.

War-torn #Portland -only fires are for s’mores.

#OtD 29 Sep 2007 tens of thousands of textile workers in Ghazl el-Mahalla, Egypt, went on illegal wildcat strike, eventually winning all their demands stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1014...

It’s always interesting when politicians say hate and violence have no place in this country. It was founded on those principles.

now that eric adams has ended his campaign for mayor it’s time to stroll down memory lane

Today the Trump administration federalized and deployed 200 National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. This is a reckless abuse of power. Troops have no business policing our communities.

Oregon Sues to Block Trump's Deployment of National Guard to Portland — Oregon's governor has filed a federal lawsuit to prevent President Trump from deploying 200 National Guard troops to Portland, claiming local law enforcement is sufficient to maintain order. The dispute highlights…

According to Oregon, Trump got the idea that Portland is on fire because Fox News illustrated a September 5 story on protests of ICE with video from the George Floyd riots in 2020. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Portland not backing down.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

79. American citizen.

Update from Portland: supplies running low. Please send fig jam and artisanal cheeses. For the jam, prefer GF, vegan, small batch, processed by a guy named River, who only stirs it during Mercury retrograde.

The constant invocation on the right of a vague they needs to be termed “theyguery”

the very idea of “traditional American views on religion” is laughable you know who had “traditional American views on religion?” Tecumseh.

“For those who are not hungry, it is easy to palaver about the degradation of charity.” — Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)

okay here's my guess. the feds just hang around the ICE building and maybe a photo op in the south waterfront. three arrests for arson, all late next week at 2am, all three cases thrown out. governor threatens to sue, ultimately doesn't have to because they leave on their own

Bit woke, that Fourth Amendment.

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

Driving didn’t “naturally” become inevitable. We designed a society that make driving inevitable in most places. We can design something different

The main thing people look for in a leader is leadership: some sense of direction, & a willingness to go there. Harris has always been a follower, a good girl and a hard worker, but that's not what gets you elected president; that gets you senator and vice president. take the win, kamala, & go home.

Fash absolutely routed in Newcastle, you love to see it

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

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.

Oregon governor says Trump is abusing his authority by ordering troops to Portland, a city that is "just fine."

I encourage all the media outlets who are about to send people to ”war ravaged” Portland to think twice. Some of the strongest extremism reporters in the country live in this region; journalists who understand the culture of the Northwest and the history of activism here. Do it right this time okay?

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

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."

Remember how lefties used to say "abolish ICE" back in the 2010s, and got roundly scolded by the centrists for it ever since, and now events have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were 1000% on the correct side of history, but somehow they're still being scolded? Fun.

Melissa McCoul was recently fired from Texas A & M for affirming gender diversity in a classroom. Allan Josephson was awarded $1.6m by U of Louisville after being fired for saying how bad he thinks gender affirming care is. Free speech only counts I guess if you are demeaning innocent people.

The Supreme Court of the United States is an utter farce.

Does anyone know where Tina Kotek is? Why Pritzker and Newsom could stand with their mayors but Kotek is hiding? www.opb.org/article/2025...

Surprise, just like he said he did. Football causes head injuries.

Huh.

the disciplining of one goon on a squad of goons means very little but I am glad to see it. we need to continue publicizing the brutal tactics of ICE as much as possible www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/n...

Monty Python responses to the troops patrolling our streets are the best responses to the troops patrolling our streets

the "abolish ICE" people were right

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.

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

Assata, Presente!

BREAKING: Per MSNBC, Nexstar has ALSO CAVED and will stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! Way to go, everyone!

Now that summer is over, Chicago is still on track to have fewer homicides in 2025 than almost any other year since 2001. This is especially impressive considering that the five most violent years of the 21st century have all been in the past decade.

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

honestly i'm amazed trump even remembers portland exists. somebody in his admin has got some sort of fixation due to having been shot down by a girl here or something and keeps reminding him he's mad at us. we haven't said shit in a year, he should think we're part of canada

Laser weeding is one of those “no wa-well actually no that makes perfect sense doesn’t it” things.

“They’re actually anarchists” my grumpy ass like well I don’t know about that

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Tomorrow! All are welcome.

Today I learned that I sprinkle nutritional yeast on popcorn because of a marketing scheme launched when Prohibition meant the Fleischmann Yeast Company couldn't sell gin 🤯
