I want to be kissed by a seal.

For the last month, I've been posting examples of Trump's authoritarianism that I call "Dictator Move of the Day." If you search that phrase, you'll see that the fascist president is constantly trying to undermine our democracy. I'm going to keep doing these posts. We've got to stop him.

Keep your hands off my vaccines.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

Actually insane. Who is reading all that bullshit?

Kate Berlant: Parmesan Kimmel recently went gaga over her special so I had to watch. I kept thinking she looks like... Weird Al Yankovic? Nooo. Yes? Yes. Then, oh. OH. I did NOT see that coming. AT ALL. If you're unfamiliar with her like I was, just watch. #HBO Kimmel: youtu.be/eCkr9Mmj2l4?...

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

This week's Elsbeth: Kreem, the company (and its leader) central to the plot... besides the real company it appears to mimic, who/what else does it remind you of? 😉

Oregon. The Level 3 Go Now evacuations in Newport are because of potential ammonia contamination caused by the fire. If you have peeps in the area, make sure they're safe. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

So proud of myself. Spent a couple hours shopping online for new flannel sheets but decided I can live another winter with the 2 sets I have now.

Oregon's future shouldn't be dictated by trillion-dollar corporations - it should be decided by Oregonians. I'm proud to stand alongside @janefonda.com in the fight to put people over mega-corporate interests. As your Governor, that's exactly what I'll continue to do.

someday anthropologists will call this era the dumbassic period www.tmz.com/2026/10/25/n...

Yep. Fall officially started in the Portland area this morning ~8:00 a.m. We're talkin' real rain! And, I put on long pants for the first time (literally) since May(?) today. Not sure what I think about this but yay? 🌧️

Check out how easy this is.

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

I keep seeing posts from Republicans pretending to be insulted by Barack Obama's Cheesecake Factory quip because most Americans supposedly think it serves haute cuisine. First, it does not. And you know that. Second, his remark wasn't about the food. It was about the over-the-top golden decor.

Oh. Everyone in Oregon has been to the Newport Bayfront. Thank you Mother Nature for the rain today that must be helping to control the spread of the fire.

Anyone else never gonna be able to unsee this? Or just us?

Looks like SW Washington isn't the only race that has a choice between bad and worse.

Amy Acton and Ohio, the whole country is rooting for you. Make history! 🔥

OK, this looks fun. 🎃💜

Pass it on...

Didn't know this. Wild guess says things are about to get very interesting wrt these folks.

This is a question voters in every state need to consider when voting for Governor in 2026 -especially here in the Midwest where Trump election denier fanatics are on the ballot but also Arizona and beyond.

“Wildwood” is clearly a love letter to Portland, but there are A TON of Oregon landmarks in there, too. Blink and you might miss Crater Lake, the Painted Hills, Haystack Rock, one iconic view of the Columbia Gorge and MANY Cascade peaks.

NBC's Monica Alba deserves a spot right beside Kaitlan Collins on the Mount Rushmore of White House correspondents

Hey guys, forgot to update everyone: I’m feeling more human today, AMA will be this evening somewhere between 8 or 9 eastern!

For years, the one thing I missed about in person voting was not getting an I Voted sticker. Now, a pic showing myself dropping my ballot is soooo much better - and many in Oregon will agree! Vote like - and FOR - Gov Tina Kotek! 👇 #OregonVotes

I've confirmed this past week that I'm still not a sports *fan*. Football, basketball, baseball... pro or college... men or women... can't get into it. OTOH, Portland Fire #wnba? Now we're talking! My team! Set the alarm to watch and attended 4 games. Can't wait until their next season! 🌹🔥

These are my people. Oregon, it's a beatiful day to follow their lead and return your ballot to a DROP BOX. #OregonVotes

At this summer's Juneteenth parade I looked up and there was Oregon Congresswoman Maxine Dexter. She stopped to talk, I excitedly babbled... Then at least an hour later, she was still at the event, smiling, shaking hands, TALKING TO PEOPLE... She's the real deal!

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

the trump administration just fired someone but this time it is… no it is another woman they fired

🧵👇 and shoutout to the furries who showed up to No Kings 3 last spring in Beaverton, Oregon. Like their compadres in Texas, you can bet they're voting here as well.

And the only reason the Knicks’ admitted they were wrong is because they got busted big time yesterday. Unbelievable. bsky.app/profile/gold...

$446 million of his (sometime) reported net worth of $1 trillion means he’s still only spending 0.0446% of his net worth to try to buy elections. put in more concrete terms: if you had $100, this would be like spending less than 5 cents. now tell me again why i should vote against a wealth tax.

A 2.5 hour whirlwind of WTF just now gave me a glimpse of what a shitshow the healthcare industry has become. It started with the routine process to order new hearing aids. That's it. Hearing aids. I can only imagine the nightmare process for something like a heart attack or injury.

The contribution limit for an individual is $3,500. Elon Musk, a government contractor, is trying to purchase Congress. Billionaires are smothering our elections for their personal gain. Get big money out of politics.

Never been much of a Fallon fan but his monologues are growing on me. Last night's had a few very funny topics that are worth the watch. (Also, that noise!) youtu.be/XTiftHEseWc?...

In an exclusive interview with OPB, Kaylub Giamanco, the man who fatally shot the teenage school shooter at Silver Rail Elementary, shares what he wants people to know about his experience.

OMFG

Portland / Western Oregon. The weather is changing quickly and it looks and feels like a storm is coming from the west. Prepare and plan accordingly. 🌬️☁️🥶🥀
