This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

sherman, for the love of god!

The words “thank you, Marjorie” feel very strange in my mouth.

At first I was wondering why so many people were bothering to like or answer my pretty basic comment, but as the responses piled in, it became the beacons lighting up all over the US, and I have become truly inspired!

Chicago calls for aid, and ROHAN WILL ANSWER.

ICE is apparently exactly as effective as Star Wars stormtroopers.

That eerie fever-dream feeling you get when MTG is arguing for your side.

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

Go Chicago! Seattle is cheering for you!!

Text: What exactly is BANNED BOOKS WEEK? Every year since 1982, a coalition of organizations including the American Library Association (ALA) and Amnesty International takes this week in October to highlight attempts to ban and restrict access to books and to encourage activism in protecting our freedom to read. When it comes to access to books in schools and libraries, there are two terms you should know: A banned book is a written work whose access has been restricted or removed by law. A challenged book has been (or is currently) the object of attempts to remove or restrict it.

Show these to anyone claiming "relax, no one's actually banning books."

Also I will never for the life of me understand how our culture considers it fine, normal, non-damaging, even "cozy" to read about gruesome murders, but shameful and/or dangerous to read about consensual sex or the existence of gender identities. It will never make sense.

If you ban yummy sexy books, only criminals will get to read yummy sexy books.

#BannedBooksWeek

BANNED BOOKS WEEK Oct. 5-11, 2025. Censorship is so 1984 - Read for Your Rights. ala.org/bbooks. American Library Association

Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights.

Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, and this year's theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and that we must defend our rights.

Oregon, my home state! 🙌🙌👏👏
This is how it's done. Other states, please take note and follow suit, ASAP.

We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Best part: the judge was appointed by Trump in his first term. 🤣

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland, Oregon.

I told this to my 16-year-old yesterday, and he got the most pained cringe on his face. (They’ve covered Madame Curie in science already.)

Non-paywalled original article in the comments.

Two different issues here:

1. You shouldn't be discussing troop movements where someone can see your screen.

2. You shouldn't be considering deploying the 82nd Airborne to Portland??

Everything they do is ridiculous.

Thank you!! Keep at ‘em. 💙

Remember to fight tear gas, bring:
Heavy Gloves, to throw canister away.
Leaf blower, to blow gas away (very effective).
Heavy traffic cones. Put on top of canister, weight it down if you can, and dump water through top whole onto canister.
Water or saline to flush eyes.

Remember tear gas is counterable by bringing a leaf blower.
