Was just telling @jerud.bsky.social - put this guy on a national ticket. Career politicians don't win back centrists - guys like this do. I hope he doesn't have an skeletons in his closet, but if he is what he seems....

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger.

The answer is empathy and compassion.

It's not an 'Immigration' problem - it's a "brown people" problem.

These two Timbers fans were the most famous people in American soccer when the opposing team's would-be playoff penalty shootout winner in 2015 clanked off BOTH goalposts. I was there and it was absolutely insane and these guys were all of us www.reddit.com/r/MLS/commen...

A major reason why Republicans in Portland are "an endangered species" is that the OR GOP as an institution has become one of the more radically far right, state-level parties in the country. And in a state party gone off the deep end, the Multnomah county GOP stands out for its extremism.

This was lazy reporting, and the Times would have done better for its audience exploring why so many Portlanders voted in DSA council. Article includes nothing from these voters. Describing Republicans in Portland as an “endangered species” is a choice.

If this were an organization that expected results and objectively measured progress toward established and shared goals, then yes.

This, is not that.

The Timbers registered just 0.57 expected goals last night, despite trailing for most of the game.

If you can't get up and show some fight in the penultimate game of the season, against your biggest rival, with the playoffs on the line... idk what to tell you #RCTID

The amount of players announcing pregnancies tells me that the changes and updates made to the CBA in recent years has made players feel significantly safer to expand their families without needing to sacrifice their careers.

And that’s genuinely beautiful.

Washington Spirit games have become a massive bastion of protest against Trump's military takeover of DC. Thousands of people chant "free DC" at the 51st minute of every game now.

Diego Chara scored his first MLS goal 14 years ago against tonight's opponent Vancouver.

It was the Timbers and Whitecaps first meeting in MLS, tonight they clash for 39th time #RCTID
