Liberal progressive who loves animals (especially cats!), music, vegan food, forward-looking politics, adventure, and fun!
I can’t believe some people are still sitting on the fence and saying they don’t wanna get involved in politics. Are you kidding me?! It makes me want to electrify that fence to get them off of it and taking action! ⚡️

The world sucks right now, so here’s a laugh for the cat people in the audience.

This is voter suppression, pure and simple. After this, they will try and block mail in voting which should be interesting because that's the only kind of voting there is in Oregon.
Of all the dirty tricks: juking USPS rules so that the postmark of mail-in ballots won't reflect the date they were put in the hands of the Postal Service, creating a pretext to throw out the votes.

In honor of the doomsday glacier getting closer to departing Antarctica, today I am watching The Great Flood on Netflix. I believe it is South Korean, but don’t quote me. I love a good disaster film, but IRL? Not so much.

A teary note from our editor in chief you can dip out from after 600 words but which we’d humbly ask you hang tight for proof we operate like a journalism version of “Chopped,” except the mystery basket isn’t Cheeto dust and old lemons. It’s grants, fellows, public info requests, and raw panic.
Hello, a moment for earnestness this holiday season:

It was miraculous when we scraped together enough money to launch a newsroom 16 months ago. I had a clear vision of what @thebarbedwire.com could be, but it required a lot of things to go right. Many did not!

“He raped me.”

“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”

“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”

Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

Fuck the US and the obsession with guns. I hate guns, and I really hate the legislators who do absolutely nothing every time there is another mass shooting. Thoughts and prayers my ass! All they care about is having home armories and millions from gun lobbyists.
