I’m sharing this trimet survey that seems to have been tucked away to make it difficult for us to respond - it took me multiple clicks to get to where we can actually give feedback - and hope that Portland area folks can fill it out and share with others: trimet.org/servicecuts/
Weigh In on Planned Bus and MAX Service Cuts
Due to a growing budget gap, we must cut some TriMet service starting in November 2025.

There could be solid ICE counter-recruitment campaigns launched to discourage people from working for them and to encourage those working for them to quit. There are lots of examples of such campaigns from anti-war organizing.

I don’t think of this as the first family shelter. Goose Hollow Family Shelter operated from 1994-2018. They now operate as Path Home and have a family village.

Spike Jonze: In my movie I invented the parasocial relationship with an AI as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Parasocial Relationship AI from the classic sci-fi movie Don't Create The Parasocial Relationship AI
it would be cool if the tech industry could try, like, a single strategy *other* than “encourage users to develop a parasocial attachment to their computers”
You would hope… but she’s a white woman with privilege, so she won’t

I love Portland
The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.
More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.
I mean it’s one doctor visit, what could it cost? $10,000?

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

In Portland, we dance because joy is truly an act of resistance
Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.
This is so old, it’s been a Heavenly Donuts for like 20 years!

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)
Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.
