I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Eleanor points out that Portland's heroes tend to be offbeat, independent creative thinkers, which explains why the city is such a ripe target; the administration is cracking down on artists, she says, "because we point out what is true." And absurd metaphors are a serious matter; when armed federal agents tackle a clarinet player in a banana costume, it draws attention to the disproportionate gap between the perceived threat and the official response. "What I love about what's happening in Portland is that we're refusing the binary of 'cower or fight," she says. “As a city of creative weirdos, we're claiming a third option: irreverence, humor, joy as resistance. And here's the thing - fascists have no counter-argument to that. They can't match wits. Theirs is not a culture of humor, because humor requires surprise and creativity, the exact opposite of control and conformity. You can't legislate against a naked bike ride or a dance party."

“Jimmy Page would be nice to have on there”: Dweezil Zappa has already tapped Eddie Van Halen, Brian May and Yngwie Malmsteen for his ambitious instrumental project – but wants to recruit a few more g... Albert Lee, Steve Morse and Steve Vai have also recorded for What The Hell Was I Thinking?, which Zappa began work on back in 1989

Not mentioned in your article as it's probably a bit niche, but are you aware of Dweezil Zappa's "What the Hell Was I Thinking?"

I think we should do Trump-is-dead speculation every time we get a clean chance, it’s clearly great for team morale.

If you’re not into it, I dunno, post cat pics or something and enjoy the downstream benefits of other people being in a good mood

I do think there is something to be said about not unilaterally disarming and producing slop to counter their slop.

Portland doesn’t need the military. Portland has its own defenses.

Agreed, and I think part of this is Pritzker gets more than most how being the anti-Trump isn't trying to out-funny the funny man, to compete in the irony-poised joke game, to be another outlandish character. It's being earnest and serious about the stakes of a real crisis, like a functional adult.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Couldn't remember Ari Fleischer's name so googled "Bush spokesman who now works for the Saudis so can't publicly jerk off to 9/11 anymore" and there he was.

That's wild because Mark Hamill starred in an episode of Amazing Stories where he is a hermit/hoarder of games and toys and the episode ends with him getting very rich.

Every centrist hagiographer: he said some very important stuff

Everyone: oh, like what?

Every centrist hagiographer: very important things

Everyone: Can you repeat some of those things he said?
