As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

Portland! And everyone else! Excellent site to watch #Portland burning to the ground! 😜🔥👇

Indivisible Oregon @indivisible-oregon.bsky.social · 1d

According to the Worst "President" Ever,
Portland is “burning to the ground.”

The reality feels a lot different.
But how can you be sure?
A new website, isportlandburning.com
answers the question.

How?
Live cameras of the city,
fact-checked claims &
a live map of fire incidents in the city.

Is Portland Burning?

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

I have MANY great Twitter related memories including:

Attended the "140 | The Twitter Conference" in Mountain View in 2009.

Watched the Ashton Kutcher/Larry King race to 1M followers live in 2009.

Ellen literally breaking Twitter with a selfie posted from the Oscar's in 2014.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Among the endless fire hose of news, there was an interesting nugget buried in Mayor Keith Wilson's statement today.

The city of Portland is considering taking over the lease of the ICE facility and the city said it has no intention of being ICE's landlord.

The ramifications of the city taking over the federal facility lease were not immediately clear Wednesday.

In a statement Wednesday, Mayor Keith Wilson wrote that he “expressed openness” to the Trump administration about either taking over the lease or purchasing the South Waterfront facility. The idea was floated first by Corey Lewandowski, a close Trump associate, Wilson wrote.
