I think they're hoping everyone will forget about the parts of Portland that are in Clackamas or Washington County and the many parts of Multnomah county that are not Portland.

Someone tell my mom the snark is paying off

Also my fave part of this is that if you listen with headphones you can still hear him muffling his laughter after they cut away from him 😂

CNN anchor can't help but laugh as Trump Cabinet member brutally mocked by official

A Portland City Council member made a CNN anchor chuckle Thursday after calling Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem a "renowned puppy killer" who is "afraid of protesters wearing frog costumes and chicken costumes."
Angelita Morillo, a Portland City Council member, had CNN's Boris Sanchez laughing with her comments about the visit with DHS official Noem, as city and state leaders have blatantly told the Trump administration that they do not want the National Guard in Portland, Oregon.

This was a comment in a raw story post about you making the CNN anchor chuckle
"Who is this woman? She looks like she's maybe 15???"

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Most biased survey I've ever seen, and I've seen bad. But they don't verify your email or name and you can enter as often as you like.

This article is excellent and perfectly expresses my frustration with establishment Democrats.

Dave Zirin @edgeofsports.bsky.social · Feb 18

My latest piece at @thenation.com takes issue with the conventional wisdom that the Dems don't know how to fight Musk's GOP brownshirts effectively. They know how. We know this because they've been waging that kind of ruthless fight against the left for 25 years. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Why Democrats Won’t Throw a Real Punch

Faced with existential threats from the right, the Democratic leadership remains timid; faced with demands for justice from the left, it goes on the attack.
