If you’re mainly on Instagram to connect with and amplify social justice causes, you don’t want to start relying on their new Reposts feature. Here’s why: www.theradicalmarketer.com/instagrams-r...

Instagram's Repost feature does more harm than good

Instagram's Reposts function seems to be a feature nobody asked for, and it’s already hurting activism and harming your reach.

That aside, the new Superman was terrific! It was had goofy and earnest moments and I felt like it had a good handle on what Supes’ character is about.

While watching Superman, when the news drop about [redacted] happened near the end:

The Spouse: “imagine if telling the media bad things about billionaires actually did anything”

Me: “well, they live in a world where the media is trustworthy”

And then I felt really sad 🫠

With how they keep disappointing me, I’m extremely glad I no longer subscribe.

Socialists aren’t “in charge” here in PDX, and this is just irresponsible reporting. Do better, @nytimes.com

Taylor Griggs @taylorgriggs.bsky.social · 4d

This article has a lot more important problems so I feel stupid saying this…but umm…the Mercury wrote and published the first major article about the DSA councilors back in June. Of course it isn’t the local reporting linked or mentioned here.

Will literally never forgive the displacement of the food cart pods where all the high schoolers, businesspeople, rich, poor, young, and old used to congregate. Downtown died after that. For a stupid hotel that no one stays in, that promised to add affordable units and then did not.

sarah jeong @sarahjeong.bsky.social · 4d

lot of problems with that piece but here's one: if anyone tries to blame "empty downtown" on anything other than

1) the pandemic
2) ted wheeler destroying the big food cart pod so his developer friends could build a hotel no one uses

they're either a moron or a developer

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
