Posted this to Facebook 9 years ago today. It's why I have such little patience for the "No one could have predicted it would be this bad!" people. Some of us did predict it. And we tried to warn people.

Kyle on Wayward is the most Kyle looking Kyle I’ve ever seen in my life. He’s like an amalgamation of every Kyle I’ve ever met.

Portland legit has the world's most honest servers. A few years ago a waiter told me to avoid everything except the chicken because the chef was having a bad day. last week a waiter told me if I wanted a good version of the thing to leave and go to this other restaurant 2 streets over. mad respect

Has Trump ever visited Portland? I suppose if he did it would be a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy as we’d all probably throw rotten tomatoes at him

Tylenol/autism stuff is bad for many reasons, but it will be used to push the idea that pregnant people shouldn't have pain relief. Women's pain is already dismissed.

holy shit dude using a fake deployment for wildland fire crews from a fire that’s only 13% contained during peak western US fire season to detain multiple firefighters and remove the crews from the fire is a scale of evil & dangerous I can’t fully communicate to people not from wildfire regions
Holy shit:
Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status.

Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."
For the last couple of years much of the media has had the most incredible unwillingness to learn literally anything about JD Vance. Never seen anything like it. Active resistance to learning anything about his ideas.
jesus man, tell me you have no idea who Claremont is or JD Vance's record as a postliberal

idk if this story is getting much traction elsewhere but a 27 year old man who is the director of the oregon coast military museum in florence raped a 15 year old and the response of the board which his father chairs btw was to literally say to her parents' faces "maybe your daughter is a slut"

Seeing footage from these #NoKings rallies is inspiring, and it really underlines the falsehood of the “Red States” vs “Blue States” myth. As @sarahkendzior.bsky.social put it, America is purple - like a bruise

In the 1970s there was a Christian Nationalist org in Oregon called the Posse Comitatus whose members impersonated police officers. They menaced judges and other public officials who they thought had committed "treason" against the Constitution. A close associate became chair of the OR GOP in 1978.

It’s not even the 14th yet and my elderly neighbor was walking outside waving his protest flag and a black pickup with no plates pulled up and assaulted him. They took his flag and gave him a massive cut and a black eye. I’m feeling sick. Everyone please stay safe tomorrow!

I knew I have one great-grandfather born in 1862 but a coworker asked me this week if I’ve ever met any of my great-grandparents and I said no, and then I realized all of them were born in the late 1800’s. I’m 34, born in 1990…
