You've heard the rumors. The sound bite flying round the Internets. "Is Portland burning to the ground?!" Some very savvy folks compiled the answers and live feed cameras so you can see for yourself. #WarRavagedPortland

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

You know, it is almost universally acknowledged by the Harvard science people that, much as we love our work and colleagues, MIT is just institutionally cooler

MIT becomes first school to reject proposed ‘compact’ with Trump administration - The Boston Globe

MIT president Sally Kornbluth said the university’s practices already “meet or exceed” the federal government’s list of demands.

First, you can’t fire altCDC and our #altgovs so we gonna be here. Pissing you all off by sharing the tea, giving real info and supporting our government employees.

The government is only as strong as its employees.
And you’ve pissed off a lot of super smart and super skilled employees.

MAGA is twisting themselves into knots protecting #TFG because they assume he was just grabbing little girls.
Their heads will explode when they find out that Donnie didn't care if they were girls or boys.

Really, the only way is a full and extended National Strike. Government shut down. Let's shut everything but hospitals down.
No work, no buying, no travel, no internet (Gasp!) Just shut it all down. France does it and it works every time.
Le sigh. Oh well.

So they had some clever taglines for the movie Lisa Frankenstein: "Dig up someone special," "If you can't meet your perfect boyfriend... make him," and "She's slaying. He's decaying".
Why, oh why did nobody think to use: "I can fix him."

PNW, Michigan, Minnesota, Chicago...these are practically fall colors. Impersonating an officer? What do you mean? I have no insignia. I'm not wearing a uniform. I'm not flashing a badge and claim I work for the Whitey House. It's cold!
