Goddamn fucking bullshit political system where I'm going to end up voting for this garbage politician because I would feel compelled to move if Drazan is governor.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek updated the registration of her political action committee to reflect a 2026 run for governor. It’s the clearest signal yet of what everyone expects: Kotek is preparing to run for a second term.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I think it's always fascinating to explore the push and pull of various frameworks and their benefits and difficulties. For example, the idea that "you don't need surgery to be trans" vs "some people who are trans do (functionally, for their health) need those surgeries"

They hated street roots because they told the truth!
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Besides the "duh" aspect I laughed at two parts.

1. Censoring the word shit when talking about people killing themselves over sweeps.

2. The person who says they feel safer because they now believe no one could be in the woods at any point but them.

Everyone who reads this should know that I love to lurk the right wing local sub. A user there is incredible in their ignorance and confidence in acting on it.

Filed a grievance against pcock for violating quorum and asked what a quorum is.

Didn't know what national socialism is.

I have to lol

I think one reason I love reading bad takes is that, at their core, they are fan fiction about the real world.

There's a lot in this article but I genuinely can't get over going into the city council and saying stuff about it being statist and capitalist.

Like....yeah, we all know.
Wednesday's City Council meeting saw multiple disruptions and expulsions as councilors passed an algorithmic rental price-fixing ban and considered a proposal meant to deter landlords from opening detention centers. Prior to the meeting, three different groups held demonstrations outside City Hall.⁠

Today we remember and honor the lives of transgender individuals who we have lost in targeted violence because of who they are.

Multnomah County is committed to supporting our transgender community, providing and funding services that treat each community member with dignity.

It's Trans Day of Remberance, I wanna remind every cis person trans people have ALWAYS been here and WILL always be here. Make sure your trans friends and community members are safe and stick around!

Especially now: Inaction is compliance. Support your friends. TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️

I am always extremely wary of anyone whose politics come off as "I wish the cops violated the rights of the correct people!"

I have my own crackpot theory that a fair portion of the "I hate Portland" online discourse is from people who live with family who like Portland so their online bellyaching is actually them just coping with their familial disagreements

uh excuse me but yes I DO know what a tankie is. Donald trump is a tankie. People who understand politics? Tankies all. The shadowy figure that creeps up the basement stairs each night but never beyond, for whom I harbor dread yet a growing and confusing thrill? Tankie.

Welp, it looks like the Portland Metro Chamber’s solidarity with the community against ICE and a federal invasion ends at charging an impact fee to property owners who would rent their properties to detention facilities that harm neighbors & drain public resources.

Can’t say that we’re surprised!

Reminder that in the eyes of many people, housing and homelessness are disconnected because homelessness is supposed to be an intended punishment for bad behavior.
Portland Housing Director Helmi Hisserich has resigned after being "asked to step down without notice that my work was unsatisfactory.”

Her resignation letter, shared with OPB, points to a divide between how the city addresses its housing and homelessness crises.

How does anyone not understand that the Dems pretending to care about all of that via stickers and yard signs while largely abandoning those people is part of the joke? Is media literacy so bad that simple memes are too complex now
I hate this sort of meme.

“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”

Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?
