I love the rain, books, have ADHD, numbers make me squeal in delight, and politics rule me right now b/c none of us have enough privilege to not care. The sun and loud noises make me cranky.

Y’all I rediscovered physical media and it’s amazing. Like damn, movies were magic from the 90s-2010

Okay, I’ll bite. What you gotta say about sentencing?

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

FORM A CROWD

PROTECT EACH OTHER

ICE NEARBY
BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM:
PRE-PRE-PRE!

Terrible use of AI…. Critical thinking is dying at such an an alarming rate, I fail to see how this helps.

ICE is shooting and murdering people. With real bullets. From real guns. If you think they only use rubber bullets or paintballs, no—they are using real guns with real bullets #DefundICE #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

How do you tell the innocent children that their only father will never come home?

Agree, and would add it also illustrates how the Democratic Party isn’t in line with what the people actually want. Mamdani isn’t your traditional democratic candidate and he threatens their norms.

Not to mention, that deal almost certainly cost us a great deal in national security as I find it way too convenient that they offer up Mountain Home to Qatar the same day

Sundowners really showing with this one

While this doesn’t say where this was located, the only place on the planet this makes sense is Portland, Or.

Same, how do rich people think they maintained their riches?? Bezos would be nothing without consumers. Google and Apple again, nothing if people can’t afford their devices, subscriptions, or even the internet. Taking money from us, takes money from them. So what’s the plan?

The best part of the Portland frog is how it completely dismantles the Pepe meme

This video makes me laugh, security of this dude must be hard as hell

LezBreal @lezbreal87.bsky.social · 1d

I find a lot of peace in this though… because this disenfranchises even the right-right-alt-right…. Like Jesus, this regime is so fucking stupid to piss off EVERYONE and to not pay soldiers, what do they think is going to happen?

I’m deeply conflicted on this because I worry about the racial connotations and at the same time this is completely backwards from everything we have ever done and I don’t trust Middle East governments… individuals are one thing, government is another

LezBreal @lezbreal87.bsky.social · 1d

Is there a merch store we can buy some of these at?? I love how the Portland frog turns Pepe meme against maga… a fellow Oregonian and coastie that would love to stand tall with PDX brothers and sisters in the fight for our country

LezBreal @lezbreal87.bsky.social · 2d

Something reasonably actionable we can do while we fight to get our country back in order

UN Environment Programme @unep.org · 3d

People are buying more clothes, but they don’t stay in closets for long. This fuels overproduction and waste.

An easy fix? Wear them longer. The planet will thank you!

This should be the breaks the straw of every extreme right wing nuts back. It’s literally the exact thing they have been screaming the Dems would do for decades.

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

That’s it, I have to move… mountain home is entirely too close (600 miles but 200 by the way the crow goes)…. This is bullshit and I hate all of this
