Liver & O

It'll never not be funny to me to see trolls yelling that they support the PPD cuz oh really? Big fan of the Portland Permitting Division eh? Personally I find the workers there to be helpful but the permitting itself is onerous for small businesses. Anyway fuck the PP Beeee

as much as i’d rather build something new, we have to takeover and gut the democratic party all that infrastructure belongs to the people, not the loser ass DCCC consultant class that has reduced it to nothing since the clinton era

I'm just a girl, standing in front her mother, begging her to help me pay to move... again. Listen mom, it's not my fault you're my only support system because you raised me in a cult. This is me, Provisioning. As you and the Children of God taught me lol

I may only be one vote, but guess what? It's my vote. And you have to earn it. And saying "you are going to allow fascism" when your fucking party has been part and parcel of that fascism is not AT ALL persuasive. Fix your hearts or die. It's your choice. I'm done with big tent bullshit.

I’m very critical of Tina Kotek and people need to vote for her anyway. There’s no ranked choice in this race. The governor has the power to call in the national guard, or affect voting. That alone is too important. Christine Drazan is too dangerous. Hold your nose and do it.

Tapping the sign again. We are fighting fascism. Everything politically has moved to the right. We have a responsibility to pull left, to demand progressive taxation, to insist on the rights of the unhoused and the working poor.

I'm cat sitting this beauty for a week in a peaceful house on the river and all I gotta say is: this is proof the universe has my back because I REALLY needed to abandon my house and petty immature housemates this week. For my sanity & my teens safety. And the universe provided the perfect escape

letting a person lie to you by intentionally ignoring the parts of their story that don't make sense feels like kindness but it's not. y'all need to start listening to the mean part of your brain more

This is exactly what i was trying to say in my much clunkier way

Most autistic ppl have a strong sense of justice, fairness, and/or empathy, + we aren't easily coerced into compromising those values. Maybe that's why. Or maybe we are sick of having no representation, and instead getting ableism from "the good party" we vote for Why are dems so scared of voters?

"Protest vote" is what a liberal calls it when you don't vote for their corporatist centrist candidates.

Exactly

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Typical from Portland moderates. It's all "ew why don't you have any decorum? DSA members are just like trump" until someone defends their electoral choice and then it's "gross all you DSA people are autistic because you're annoying" Boomers have destroyed the working class in Portland

It's not "calling for mass violence" to say that an appropriate response to "I'm going to kill you and your loved ones" is "you can try, fucker."

I take the potential for internecine violence in this country very seriously. And I've tried to be careful with my rhetoric around this. But how long are we supposed to sit by and respond politely when the other side talks EXCLUSIVELY about killing or imprisoning our loved ones?

We all have wounds we must tend to lest we bleed on each other.

It’s wild that no other media outlet besides the Mercury is covering the Dan Ryan text saga…like, these lobbyists were calling councilors of color racial epithets. They called me a burrito. Meanwhile there were ten million stories about daddy gate, but crickets on this? Disparity in standards

Today you should send love to your trans friends. Tomorrow, too. Maybe every day for a while.

New Yorkers challenged HSI Nazi agents face-to-face—and the agents got scared. They ran away like the cowards they are. This happened near the scene where ICE shot Oscar Belgal while trying to execute him and his child. Community resistance deserves an audience. Repost this everywhere.

I keep seeing discourse about a public execution of a man in a wheelchair without further context, and it's clearly not about Abbott the Texan governor cuz people here are mad about it. What did I miss??

For more than 70 days, resistors took turns sitting in the branches of the “Grandmother” cottonwood in Lochiel, Arizona, trying to save it and the habitat around it. This morning, Border Patrol raided their camp, removed the tree sitter, and contractors knocked it down.

I've never had a lawn sign. Lowkey excited lol Will you join me? Use this link to sign up: www.mobilize.us/angelitaforp...

That's my councilor (no really, that's actually my city council rep)

This is Sam Altman's sister. She been posting the video transcripts of her court case against her billionaire brother for sexual assault when they were children. Listen to her.

Like we don’t have political disagreements, we have disagreements on the nature of reality 

4 men in plain clothes kidnap a woman—they claim to be ICE. Woman's name is Angel Zhao. She lives in Huntington Beach, California—originally Shanghai, China.

Portland police are refusing to return my riffle with no legal reason to do so. I have no felonies, no felony charges, no charges at all. They are claiming I have arrests in other states. I have zero arrests in any other state. "Your case is really complicated. I cant give you your riffle."

Lol at trump defunding the police. Not quite what we meant when we said redistribute their funds, of course, but still lol

Every time they call a thing black on black crime, all I see is male on male crime. That's the real super predator: men

If you are mad about the Cornell sexual assaults and the DA not doing shit to rapists. Please take a look at what your DA has been doing to women who complain about the sexual assaults in your county jail. It's not just Cornell it's everywhere.

Not shocked at all. PPB are a trigger happy gang. No one is safe around them, even their own.

It feels placating to me: look at the sad little rich boy. Don't worry about the misery around you. He's miserable too. Just vote and everything will be fine.

Autumn has arrived in Portland (for real this time, i hope)

and the pardon power is perhaps the biggest tell in this regard -- a relic of the divine-right monarchy's powers, justice (and grace) the most regalian power of all
