Reminder that Oracle bought TikTok and has completely moved Americans into their own highly censored algorithm.

They also removed the ability to tag/search for Portland =)

Oracle is violently evil and extremely pro-genocide (Israel)

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

I was Pritzker’s biggest fanboy, so I realize it’s hard to accept his betrayal. It was hard for me, but I saw it with my own eyes.
Please stop gaslighting me about Pritzker. You weren’t there. I was. These are Pritzker’s brown shirts, working fist-in-glove with ICE/CBP.

I know that Gazans are celebrating, but I don't trust this at all. This is a deal with the devil if I've ever seen one.

I fully expect Hamas to comply and release the hostages, and for Israel to resume the genocide.

Gaza peace deal reached, hostages to be freed

The announcement comes two years after Oct. 7, with 67,000 Palestinians killed.

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

the fact that I can't search "portland smoke" and actually see information about the smoke from burning metals that had our air quality in the 130-200 range last night is just really pissing me off

real nobody @stonerfruit.bsky.social · 2d

we're going to see very possible environmental impacts completely buried in the news because shitbags always want to make this place a culture war, and suddenly everyone thinks our antifa is so "portlandia"... because it kind of is...

there was literal toxic smoke blaneting the south side of the city and out to our rural neighbors last night, from a fire at a recycling plant in Vancouver (where all our cops live), but when you search for information about it all you see are jokes about far right fear mongering targeting our city

A fire at a metal shredding plant in Vancouver WA is sending a plume of noxious smoke over NE and SE Portland since before 10pm.

This MAGA pyscho ran these girls down at 70 mph.

This is Trump's America, where sniper units are now aimed at ICE protestors, children are being dragged out naked and zipped tied, and people getting murdered in the name of Kirk.

What's next?

Just look at history.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

In 'Alien' (1979), the alien is an expression of capital. It is an aggressive, hostile, amoral, predatory, assimilating, accumulating, consuming, inhuman *structure* or *pattern* that is made out of its victims. In 'Aliens' (1986) it becomes an evil insect representing Vietnamese people.

In 'Alien' (1979), the alien is defeated via the destruction of an entire shipment of cargo destined to become profitable corporate commodity. In 'Aliens' (1986) the aliens are defeated by a woman learning to be a good mother and punishing a bad mother.
