I did now know Wilhoit’s Law but it’s what I’ve observed over the last 40 years in the United States.

Ummm what? That is horrific. It’s exactly how you facilitate a transition to fascism. I saw this a year or so ago and stopped looking for any fair coverage at CNN.

This is how you implement a eugenics agenda. First you gut programs that allow equal access. Then you claim disabled kids can’t learn. It’s a short road between this and deciding that disabled children are a burden on society and families and need to be removed for the good of us all.

No no no no. They don’t get to claim anyone did this but a conservative man. This shooting was maga.

I did not notice this before, but is everyone wearing a suit in this photo cosplaying trump? blue suit, red tie? weirdos!

Oregon, at least, doesn't use voting machines. We fill out paper ballots and then mail them in.

I think it is offensive to make fun of accents & we are better than that. She is talking abt the kids stolen from Ukraine who are now 18. I wonder what intense brainwashing they underwent in Russia. I wonder if these are ones who refused to fight for Russia or ones whose brainwashing was a success

This is well said and explains perfectly the bosses I’ve had who have micromanaged me. I managed a department who got chastised for laughing because others who heard it thought it meant we were not working.

Republicans just want to kill Obamacare. They think nationalized health "grows" the number of democracts because it makes people dependent on the government. I'm not even joking.

Ok, oddly that makes me feel better.

Which I understand that Ireland has started doing for artists and musicians. It's going so well, they've decided to make it permanent.

Oh my god. What I'm hearing is that he has a theory that tylenol causes autism, so they're going to feed tylenol to pregnant people and try to cause autism. Is that what others are hearing too?

I don't think any republicans ever studied biology. Remember the guy who said pregnant people could swallow a camera to see their baby?

It's so hard to say goodbye to our babies. I'm so sorry for your loss. You've made the right decision, but it doesn't make it any easier, or the pain at their loss any less.

Yes, exactly. Is that what she's saying?

I'm sorry....what? As soon as Noem leaves the room the governor says the opposite? How precisely does she know what's said when she's out of the room?

And I’ve read that the building owner was illegally throwing away people’s belongings

What also makes me angry about this is that it denied people sleep. These aren’t wealthy people who can take the day off because ICE decided to attack their building. They have to get through their day with not enough sleep that takes a toll on health then go home and try to pack up.

This could happen yes. All the more reason to protect away from the ice facility. It’s just one block.

I remember reading an article in the90’s from the Oregonian detailing gun violence and Portland had an average of one shooting death per day. The numbers quoted here are all so much lower than that!

I love watching frog come forward and ice steps back in unison! Hahahahaha retreat waaay back.

Did you see the response of the frog getting pepper sprayed? I’ve had spicier. I’m Mexican. It was genius!

We will welcome you as long as you’re willing to take public transport. Californian transplants won’t take the bus. If you will, welcome sibling!

I’m not sure anyone realizes this but portland has been training for this moment since the defeat of the Mt Hood freeway in 1974. Being weird and defiant are baked in character traits.

The thing though is that violent protest will allow trump to declare material law. We are being told by local government don’t be violent or it will all get much worse. They want martial law because it allows them to have already embedded troops
When trump dies. Which is happening before our eyes.
