New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

I know this fascist shit is doomed when I see late 50s and early 60s white guys in their Costco Shopping Finest screaming ‘fuck you’ in DHS officers’ faces

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Heretic was solid. Hugh Grant has been killing the shiesty bad guy roles these last few years.

“The department declined to answer questions about whether the donor is an American citizen or a foreign national.” Jesus Fucking Christ

This should be seen as what it is: a huge step towards ending free and fair elections.

FBI backtracks on denying children were zip tied in Idaho raid, saying instead no ‘young’ kids were • Idaho Capital Sun After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in raid in Wilder, Idaho, FBI says no "young" children were.

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.

The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

I think the arrival of the “We’re cooked” moment is different for everyone. I couldn’t tell you why, but for me it was in 2023 when the Supreme Court ruled that wetlands weren’t protected under the Clean Water Act if they had no “continuous surface connection” to the ‘ Real Water™ ‘.

although some oppose the fifty foot hologram of a grinning Augusto Pinochet that appeared on the White House lawn this morning, we spoke with people from across the political spectrum to get a sense of how opinions differ

The key to getting a poorly done random tattoo when black out drunk is to make sure that the artist is a vegan animal rights activist and not a Nazi. Speaking from personal experience here.

The district court’s factual findings, which the government does not challenge on appeal, and which are not clearly erroneous in any event, fully resolve this issue. In the two weeks leading up to the President’s September 27 social media post, there had not been a single incident of protesters’ disrupting the execution of the laws. Oregon, 2025 WL 2817646, at *10. I repeat: not a single incident for two weeks. Here are summaries from police reports for the five days preceding the President’s social media post. September 22: Approx. 7-10 people. No calls. September 23: Few people. No activity. September 24: Approx. 10 people. No calls. September 25: Approx. 20 people. No calls. September 26: Approx. 15 people. Energy low, minimal activity. No incidents. A police officer’s report from September 26 stated: “Throughout the day we observed approximately 8-15 people at any given time out front of ICE. Mostly sitting in lawn chairs and walking around.” It is hard to understand how a tiny protest causing no disruptions could possibly satisfy the standard that the President is unable to execute the laws.

The dissent does an excellent job making the majority look like fools. cst.brightspotcdn.com/d9/44/ff61b3...

Before: Susan P. Graber, Ryan D. Nelson, and Bridget S. Bade, Circuit Judges. Concurrence by Judge R. Nelson; Dissent by Judge Graber. PER CURIAM: Defendants-Appellants, President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, in their official capacities, the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (collectively, Defendants), seek an emergency stay of the district court’s October 4, 2025 temporary restraining order (TRO) enjoining the President’s Case: 25-6268, 10/20/2025, DktEntry: 61.1, Page 2 of 93 order to federalize 200 members of the Oregon National Guard for 60 days to protect federal personnel and property at the Lindquist Building, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon. After considering the record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3), which authorizes the federalization of the National Guard when “the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States.” The evidence the President relied on reflects a “colorable assessment of the facts and law within a ‘range of honest judgment.’” Newsom v. Trump, 141 F.4th 1032, 1051 (9th Cir. 2025) (per curiam) (quoting Sterling v. Constantin, 287 U.S. 378, 399 (1932)). We thus conclude that Defendants are likely to succeed on the merits of their appeal, and that the other stay factors weigh in their favor. We grant Defendants’ motion for a stay pending appeal.

BREAKING: Ninth Circuit panel, on a 2-1 vote, allows Trump to deploy National Guard troops in Portland during litigation. Both judges siding with Trump were appointed by Trump in his first term.

Good thing the military isn't woke anymore and is willing to take the fight to our enemies, like Colombian fisherman and Interstate 5.

It’s wild to me how a significant portion of the American population is like “fascism is here, and it sucks….buuut I really like all these services that the fascist-supporting corporate entities provide, and I’m just gunna keep using them”

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

PDX No Kings march was massive. Upper and lower deck of the Steel Bridge was packed and lines as far as the eye could see.

Vance’s “boys will be boys” Nazi apologism played so bad that even National Review can’t stomach it. Will Republican voters actually give a shit? Of course not.

Nixon’s crimes look like harmless high school pranks compared to the now-daily unprecedented illegal & unconstitutional crimes being committed daily by this president & his staff

From the bad old site, in response to pro-immigration commentary from Cato scholars. I wonder whether there's something dangerous in letting presidents just arbitrarily declare one or another group to be a terrorist organization -- nah, I suppose that's alarmist.

Another Kavanaugh stop.

Ep. 18: September to Remember October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID. In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in. How in the world are you going to check our voters? Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon. But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation. For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections. COMMON SENSE Vascluar

Ep. 18: September to Remember October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why? Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five. You talk about trade-off, right? COMMON SENSE Sanctuany

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

I swear if the Democratic leadership posts something like "the president should worry less about using the military on American citizens and instead about saving their healthcare" I'm going to lose it.

I work in downtown Portland. Haven’t found the war yet, but I’ve been fighting an internal war about what killer thing to eat on my lunch break today. Banh Mi? Chilli Relleno burrito? Bibimbap? Pizza? A new theatre opens in every direction!😩

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney
