Newspeak

“People for Portland” and “Partnership for Progress” are the lazier versions of this same phenomenon:

Wealthy people and corporations pay right wing activists to set up front groups or PACs with grassroots or populous sounding names to do politics and propaganda for the wealthy & powerful.

It's like they are actively trying to incite a riot. This is insane.

Even knowing it was coming didn't soften the blow of waking up to this shit. How can anyone possibly be on board with this war? Trump absolutely needs to be removed from office. Fuck anyone who voted for or supported this monster. What a dark fucking day.

Trying out Linux for the first time in awhile. So far its been really smooth with Mint and the gaming situation is so much better than it used to. Feels like I might be able to make this work now.

It's not perfect but having just flown across the country having to deal with 3 different airports the rule at PDX about prices having to being the same as in the city means that PDX is still way cheaper than pretty much any other airport.

B-line has been running in Portland, Oregon for years. It's not as impossible as you might think.

Thank you for calling it what it is, a genocide. I urge you to call for an embargo of Israel and to oppose funding to Israel as well. We have to do everything we can to stop what is still happening in Gaza despite the "cease fire". The plans for the future there are just another phase of genocide.

Good things are possible and we don't have to settle.

Congratulations from Portland, Ore this is a tremendous win.

Zohran fucking won hell yeah!

If you think the military should be deployed into American cities because there’s the slightest tension at a protest, congratulations!

You are a fascist!

Lots of people want to hold fascist ideologies without realizing what they’ve become, but we have words to describe things and that’s what u are

Here’s what just happened: Trump sent a peace deal to Hamas, Hamas met to discuss it in Doha, where the U.S. is mediating talks and has a base,and Israel bombed them, presumably with US support.

WTF! ....HOW?!?

It didn't work the last time he tried it and they literally gunned down at least one protestor.

everywhere around you, things are deteriorating in real time & most people are sleepwalking through it all- worried about the cracker barrel logo change as the trump admin is kneedeep in the waters of fascism. holocaust in gaza. kidnappings by ice. domestic military occupation.

Portland is a sanctuary city, & I'm going to fight to keep it that way.

Immigration enforcement isn't local government's role, & we're more effective & fiscally responsible when we don't do it.

Especially during this presidency's persecution of migrants, we're going to stand for ALL our people.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with my fellow immigrants. We will not turn our backs on you.

I will support no action to comply with Trump’s hateful terror campaign against our immigrant community. Will never happen with this council. Portland will not tolerate it.

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a personal one.

I tried hard to get all the way through it but it was truly terrible. I stopped even being able to laugh at it eventually.

I think he's just trying to emphasize for people who aren't aware that this is the current state of things. I'm sure he understands this has been their identity for a very long time. I also think it's notable how willing they are to take their masks off now.

I think he was talking about in the context of past episodes of this like the one with Sam Seder for example where most of them were still crazy but not quite to this level. Also I didn't watch this interview but in others he was trying to point out that they didn't do this to Jordan Peterson.
