ECP

Over the last several days I've heard directly from parents who are scared and outraged about the PPS proposals for closure of their schools. They are calling for action from their elected officials at all levels. Today I have filed an emergency that responds to the urgency of these calls. 🧵

We need to pause this process – not one school should close before we fully explore our options to fully fund education. My office will do everything in its power to help. We need to retain and attract young families to Portland, and we can start by saving our schools. (1/2)

3 hours ago the Brazilian Supreme Court rejected any challenge to the election results. Just now Flavio Bolsonaro has dropped his objections. Lula is President it cannot be stopped, and Flavio Bolsonaro will be going on trial for corruption. And then to jail.

Similar: you can tell which churches accept queer people because they're very explicit about it—unambiguous wording on their wesbite/signs, rainbow/Pride flags, etc. If a church doesn't say "We love queer people," then you can safely conclude that they don't.

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

I need the horniest Lula that technology can provide.

That settles it—this year for Halloween I'm wrapping myself in drapes and a big red bow and gift tag and going as Curtains for Zoosha

He is a libertarian and a NC State Senate candidate, and he is now in police custody. Wild.

cursed era

I'm convinced that liberals think it's only transphobia when you use the T-slur or physically harm trans people, and everything else is just "concerns." Like using the N-word is racism, but crossing the street when a Black man is walking toward you isn't somehow.

perfect, no notes

it is very funny that "queer leftists" get this reputation of being above voting or whatever because my wife and I fill our ballots out with enough reverence it feels like it is a religious ceremony

Democratic Politicians and their voting base to trans people: "Look, the lady in blue will make your lives miserable, but the guy in red will also make your lives miserable while also personally inconveniencing me, and is that what you really want? How selfish of you."

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

they might as well just hand the flag to Kyle Rittenhouse at this point

This coffeeshop bathroom isy fulfilling my dream of experiencing what it's like to live inside of a Gateway computer box

To my fellow cisgenders. If you "support Trans rights, but...", you do not support Trans rights.

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

I understand the impulse, but I really don't think "Look at this bad thing this bad person said somewhere else" is a very productive or useful form of Bluesky post. Ultimately I think you're just highlighting it and giving it more reach.

If I ask I director "What time is class today?" and they have to look it up on their computer before they can answer, maybe your school's weekly class schedule scheme is too fucking complicated.

This is indefensible and coming from her it's especially egregious.

Zionism 101: Nazism makes Jews safe

Yissss

They don't *want* us to buy homes. They want us to rent forever.

Today in Both Sides Are Bad:

lol

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Hungarian PM Péter Magyar: "I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."

show me the lie

The rains in Portland have begun, so of course this is the day that some loser decides to rip off the rear wiper on my car. Not even just the blade, but the entire housing. Thanks, asshole. One more thing to add to my week. 😑

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

The bigotry and transphobia coming from the Democratic Party, coupled with all these weirdos jumping in to defend and excuse it, really underscores just how correct Malcom X was about the white liberal back in the 60s. They haven't changed, even today. Turek, Talarico, Acton...

As turnout in Texas nears 3 million votes, Hispanic turnout is now exceeding presidential levels. More Hispanics have voted than did at this point in the 2024 presidential election. What's driving this huge increase? Young voters.

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.
