This is definitely the darkest timeline. Chronically online neurodivergent from PDX. Overeducated and opinionated.
Gotta love all these five follower, no pfp accounts cropping up just to chirp at city commissioners.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

How odd that giving to charities is considered noble, but creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered bad!

Better hope we don't have crumbling roads or an insane president who wants to starve us next year. The kicker is absolutely stupid.

President Donald Trump was formally blocked from sending the National Guard to Portland by U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut, who delivered her final order in the case Friday.
Federal judge prohibits Trump from deploying National Guard to Portland
The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut followed a three-day trial where local and federal law enforcement testified to their differing perceptions and responses to ongoing protests outside the federal immigration building in Portland.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts.

INVESTIGATION: American taxpayers already spent $6 billion to develop GLP-1 drugs, and then pharma lobbyists bought enough politicians to make sure drug companies were allowed to charge Americans the world’s highest prices for those drugs that we already paid for.

This is how corruption works 👇

U.S. taxpayers spent billions developing Ozempic-type diabetes and weight-loss drugs — now those drugs’ markups could bankrupt the U.S. health care system.

The answer to the question about where people are from is not as simple as it sounds.

Hey that thing our entire outlet was founded to warn about happened
I think it is very clear that the Trump regime sees the right-wing influencers on the ground in Portland as an informal arm of their government www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

These people are cartoon villains. Crash the economy and then make sure everyone starves.

Get a whole chicken. I mix miso and stuff it under the skin w garlic and honey. If you don't have miso, use butter and salt or other flavorful things you can shove in there. Stuff the cavity with an apple. Turn it breast side down in a pot, a baking dish, a Dutch oven, whatever you have.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Last night, the National Guard chased children who were out enjoying Halloween in Navy Yard.

There is no valid reason for armed soldiers to terrorize children like this. End Trump’s occupation of DC. National Guard out NOW.
