You know, of course, if you DIDN’T go, they’d then dismiss anything leaned on the trip as not valid because you would just be repeating what others told you about their systems. 😒

You will never “do it right” because they hate the existence of working class people having power in this city.

Actually, they’d probably say something like: “no please don't end me! 🥺🥺🥺🥺”

Isn’t that called nationalist socialism? or, for short — you know — national socialism.

💔 This is Omar Hayek. He was a kind man, the sole provider for his family, & one who brought the highest level of professionalism to his work as an occupational therapist for @msf.ca.

This morning, Omar became our 14th colleague killed in an #Israeli attack.

This paragraph, directly above this photo, was definitely my favorite part. Just so obvious who this article was written for.

Text: “At a downtown art gala last month, affinity for Portland’s socialists among champagne-sipping attendees was in short supply. The event celebrated the opening of a museum exhibit showcasing the collection of Jordan Schnitzer, a local billionaire and philanthropist.”

This is the thing I wish I could get through a lot of Dem politician's heads. Your colleagues in congress believe you are demonic. And they mean that *literally*.

Talia Lavin @swordsjew.bsky.social · 2d

i do not respect this belief but it is enlightening to wrap your head around the fact that a significant number of your political rivals believe you are literally in league with satan, and act with concomitant zeal and brutality

"They broke the law coming here and they are costing taxpayers billions" is a really great description of ICE

Geordi La Forge Nope/Yes meme, but the yes has laser eyes in the visor:

NOPE:
"Do Not Comply In Advance"
- bossy
- already a cliche
- implies permission to comply later

YES:
"Fuck You, Make Me"
- leads by example
- directs yelling at opposition instead of allies
- easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

Hey all, in case you didn’t see it before, check out this excellent local reporting on Portland city council by our own @taylorgriggs.bsky.social www.portlandmercury.com/news/2025/06...

With Newfound Sway in City Hall, Portland’s Democratic Socialists Hope to Redefine the City’s Priorities

How do you solve a problem like an unprecedented city budget deficit? Over the last few months of budget planning, Portland leaders suggested a host of ways to close the roughly $93 million gap, from ...

Our responsibility as portlanders is to accuse our business class of being republicans. If they support the natl guard coming in, they’re republicans. If they thank Christine drazan at a homeless shelter meeting, they’re republicans

"If the Democrats had been delivering materially and emotionally for the public, there would not be a need for socialists in office," said Ms. Morillo, who was homeless for a time in college. "We would not see Zohran Mamdani succeed in New York."
In a city considered one of the most progressive in the country, the debate over just how far-left to be has amused some longtime residents.
"In Portland, our political spectrum is not Republican to Democrat," said Amy Ruiz, a local political consultant and lobbyist. "It's, 'Which shade of blue are you?'"

They zip tied children.

Walter Olson @walterolson.bsky.social · 6d

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

I need someone out there to also understand this:

#KaladinStormblessed from #StormlightArchive has now fully become Martin the Warrior from #Redwall by #BrianJacques.

This would also mean that Badrang = Sadeas and I'm comfortable with that equation.

One of the first things the US needs to do when we get out of this mess is to submit to the jurisdiction of the ICJ and try every person involved with every one of these crimes.
