This! I think the opposite of fascism isn’t “normal,” it’s taking joy in weirdness
As a former Portlander myself, love that its motto is Keep Portland Weird. An essential part of fascism's project is to tell all of us how to look, whom to love, what to say, how to dress. Fuck that. Portland is too fabulous for fascism.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

From @BulwarkOnline — Republicans are lying about the Dems wanting to fund health care for undocumented people.

Finally updated the tariff calculations to incorporate the 50% copper tariffs, 40% tariff on Brazilian imports, and 5-31% tariff on imports from 94 countries that Trump has signed over the last 24 hours—overall tariff rates rise more than 2%, and are now 16% higher than pre-Trump

Crony capitalism at its most obvious. Fuck Lee.
SCOOP: The founder of Altitude Ventures, the company that ran the Teslas-only Tunnel launch (and wouldn’t ID themselves), is Clayton Mcwhorter… late father of Stuart, @GovBillLee’s Commissioner of Economic Development🤔

Every time I talk about this I start to feel like a conspiracy theory monger myself. But Trump’s desperation is so glaring, and the Maxwell stuff is not subtle. bsky.app/profile/atru...

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good
