I need people not from Portland to understand that a majority of the escalations happening here are the direct result of the far right grifting machine. They are another arm of the fascist regime and have been manufacturing content and spreading lies to manufacture consent. It's as simple as that.

'i've never seen a 70yr old with autism' is the same logic that made vikings scream at an eclipse to keep the sun from being eaten by space wolves

Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.

Legal question: If Trump's call-up of the National Guard was illegal, then what authority did (and does) the National Guard have on the streets of LA, where they brutalized and injured dozens of protesters.

The highly sanitized version of the Civil Rights era that gets taught in US schools has led many adults who should know better to some dreadful takes on contemporary events.

Recommend reading.

It's crazy to me how the country that celebrates the Boston tea party as a patriotic event is always aghast at property destruction during a protest.

They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

The house has been disturbingly quiet since Friday and will never be the same. Cosmo was an amazing #cat and friend to my wife for almost 21 years and I’m glad I got to experience a good portion of that time with her. She was very loved and our lives are better for her having been a part of them.

as someone who was raised by aspiring christian fascists, once again: calling them evil invigorates them.

because they believe *you* are evil, when you call them evil they hear “I am on the righteous path”

stick to pointing out harm caused by policies and making historical comparisons
