In my head being a fascist correlates to not tipping whenever possible but maybe I’m wrong

Apropos of nothing, Sec. Kristi Noem is currently praying over Burgerville with Portland ICE officials.

A screenshot of a video of Noem praying at a conference table with other people wearing suits. Fast food bags and water bottles sit on the table.

Tweet from 11/2/24 showing Harry Sisson and his 4 friends in a car that reads “we’re Gen Z voters and we all PROUDLY voted for Kamala Harris! Real men support Harris”

Robert J O’Neill quotes it with

“You're not men. You're boys. If there was no social media, you would be my concubines.”

Hey chat is it cool when an elected official uses the word “cleansing” to refer to uprooting a class of people

Schmitt: "Let's just call it out. We need a cleansing here. Let's just be truthful about what's happening. This left-wing political violence is not a both sides thing. It's not."

Are Portland therapists dealing with people feeling guilt for not feeling like their city is under occupation?

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it

black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

The underbrush is there for them to find your body in. Don’t waste the underbrush.

It pains me to say it but if I were invited to lay a man down in the tall grass and let him do his stuff I would be forced to say no just on principle

Saw people posting about the peck of Pynchon so I popped in to make a purchase. Ponder my pain to realize it’s not purchasable pending tomorrow.

But I was pleased to peer ‘pon this, which I didn’t know about

Probably that's just Deleuze and Guattari, I dunno, I've never actually read those two, only sold books by them to people happy to be congratulated a very careful amount for purchasing their work.

No, be fair to yourself. Your distinct point of view is generally "I should spend eight more months on this."

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

lmao @portlandmercury.com

Oh! I'd also like to remind you that if it were not for the former mayor and city council—as well as bad faith actors such as the Portland Business Alliance, its headmaster Jordan Schnitzer, and Portland's rich, conservative loudmouths who consistently disparaged our city in 2020—WE'D PROBABLY NOT BE IN THIS SORRY POSITION TODAY. Also, confidential to the equally implicated Oregonian Editorial Board: Can you please, for once in your lives, just SHUT THE FUCK UP? You are not our daddy, and no one respects you or gives a single shit about what you think or say. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown

the doj was like "idk"

the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

They pretend not to understand that critique of Portland rooted in the fact that a city with wealth, in a wealthy country, has people who don't have homes or the care they need is a *very* different rhetorical frame than their move of harping on "wealth flight," boarded up windows, and scary trimet
