People in Portland forget just how close together we are politically. Our spectrum of liberals feels broad but compared with a lot of the country we’re a narrow band and can agree on a lot.

I heard the odious Jeff Dye slammed me on β€œGutfeld.” I’m honored. If you go on that show you’re a pro-fascist hack. Gutfeld himself is a greedy power hungry unfunny putz who appears on The Five every day, which is a panel of racist hate-mongering white supremacists complaining about the word woke.

it all makes a lot more sense when you remember that Oregon was established as a white utopia

Trump, asked if he has to 'uphold the Constitution,' says, 'I don't know' Trump said on NBC News’ β€œMeet the Press” that he’s following lawyers’ advice as he tries to execute rapid deportations, arguing that giving immigrants due process is time-consuming.

Trump said β€œI don’t know” if he has to uphold the constitution.

For my entire life, Republicans have pretended to be obsessed with the constitution. If they do nothing now, we will know they were lying about that too.

This the misrepresentation of colleges/universities the Right has been telling for your years and the NYT just repeats like it true. At best, it is a cherry picked to be correct, at worst just a lie.

For example: 41% of Harvard seniors in '23 went into finance or consulting. 4% public service

Almost all the arguments presented below are bad. Like any tool, you have to know how to use them. They often suck, but they often decided do NOT suck. To cite a single example is ridiculous. There are a lot of real ethical concerns about this too, but in the hands of a discerning person? Useful.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: β€œWe welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying β€œthank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.

YALL, THE TITLE!!

The image shows a text post from a tumble user with the handle "theconcealedweapon" making an argument about the importance of protecting the rights of criminals as a safeguard against government tyranny. The post presents the following key points:

If you want to prevent government tyranny, ensuring criminals have rights must be your top priority
This is not meant as a joke or exaggeration
Without rights for criminals, governments can simply label people as criminals to strip away their rights
The post claims this has been a common tactic of tyrannical governments throughout history
The post concludes that believing people who break laws should forfeit their rights is effectively supporting tyranny

The argument centers on the idea that due process and legal protections for accused/convicted persons are fundamental safeguards against authoritarian government overreach.
