LOL I'm so proud of Portland!! You too? 🎉 💖 🥂 💋 🧚‍♂️
Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'
Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

It’s #Friday folks!

Have the best #weekend you can.

You know the drill:

Be #kind
Be #gentle
Be #true
Be like #bees.

Unless your country is being stolen/destroyed by billionaire backed Nazis or your family are being exterminated by a genocidal bitch-ass criminal…then fuck nice and fight dirty!

Over 75% of the 115 leading crop species are dependent upon/benefit from animal pollination. Only 28 of these 115 crop species are wind & self-pollinated.
We need #bees #insects #birds #animals.
We need to realise this.
Fast.

Why do I post so much? Some of you have asked me this. I write and post every day because the stakes are so damn high. But mostly, I post every day because I believe in you. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-i-post-so-damn-often
Why I post so damn often
And a humble apology

THIS INJUSTICE WILL NOT STAND. Two things you can do right now, NJ:
1. Call on your own mayor to make a statement condemning Baraka's arrest.
2. Head to the ICE office at 620 Frelinghuysen Ave in Newark to support the mayor.
NEW: Chaos at the ICE detention centre in New Jersey.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested by the DOJ after Members of Congress (apparently being shoved by agents) attempted to include him on a visit.

Baraka has opposed the facility, saying it opened without permits.

Does Robert Reich even sleep? 😉 I've followed him since the Clinton years and find his contribution astonishing.
DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion. 

Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts.

And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B.

We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.
