Algorithms = messy lil bubble wrap. Most ppl see 40–400 accounts tops. That’s it. Want something to spread? Be the 9%. Boost. Share. Nudge the bubble.

Rep Nguyen wasn’t just a lawmaker, she was a fighter, a caretaker & a friend.

Her work was rooted in love, for our community, for the next generation, & for every Oregonian trying to make it through.

We’ll keep building the kind of Oregon she believed in.

Rest in power, Hoa 💔

The judges even agree that it's "calm & sedate" they just can't seem to decide whether the president's able to use the National Guard as his toy soldiers for his amusement.

Kinda funny the dudes talking about their warrior ethos need armed troops to deal with folks in bathrobes & footed pajamas. The pigeons, on the other hand, those we need to do something about. I suggest non-lethal options.

Mr. Nichols, use your words. No one is stopping you from contextualizing why profanity merits an essay like this but not the dehumanizing language against trans people used by the GOP all year. You couldn't even bring yourself to mention transphobia in your summary of Hegseth's military briefing.

Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social · 1d

oh dear God

Charlotte Clymer @charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 1d

The biggest reason I can't take this opinion seriously is because I can guarantee that Mr. Nichols has not written about the dehumanizing language toward trans people all year by Republican politicians. To me, that is far more profane than VP Harris or Mr. Schumer uttering the word "fuck" publicly.

Mr. Nichols, I would like to believe that 5,000 trans service members being kicked out and insulted by Hegseth in the military briefing you literally summarized in your piece without mentioning them should be a topic we all prefer to tackle. And I wonder why you couldn't do that.

Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social · 1d

Not everything is about you and the issues you prefer. I have thought, for a long time, that politicians were swearing too much. So I wrote about it.

Well, Sir, how convenient for you that profanity was at the top of your list in considering that military briefing and not the thousands of trans service members who swore an oath to protecting your constitutional right to that priority.

It must be nice to be so sheltered from all this.

This is Portland...the Portland we all love. In the end, Trump will look like a fool for infiltrating Portland. All his lies about our city, from 2020 on, should be on full display.
