We… don’t have a great relationship with the police around here.

Warzone?

BOOM 🔥:

Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

Does it block all state NG (including Texas) or just California specifically?

Oh no! Graffiti! Empty storefronts! The horror! Crime is down. Streets are safe. I visited Detroit in the late 90s. Your comparison is madness. Lived in London, New York, Texas, IA, WI, MN… safest here. By far. People matter, not businesses. Your focus is clear, and it’s not mine.

Lived all over the country and outside of it. Moved here 20 years ago. It’s better here than anywhere I’ve been. You’re either a bot or a liar.

Yeah…. That’s not true at all. I live here. You clearly don’t.

@tinakotek.bsky.social How are we stopping the invasion by the California National Guard?

Yes please!

Clearly the war is over math.

Currently at a Math themed haunted house in Portland.

Is this living in hell?

We all know Earhart ended up in the Delta Quadrant.

Caesar, thou canst not have a war torn Portland;
Unless thou bring’st it with thee.

No

@jeff-merkley.bsky.social Your constituents have some questions about your vote for a national holiday honoring a racist, homophobic hatemonger. Please explain.

We need to primary Wyden.

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Julien needs to be benched for that.

Can the council block him?

That’s a shame, as @mayorkwilson.bsky.social strikes me as the sort of person who won’t see the problem here.

Oh look. The city of Portland would like the unpaid labor of some disabled citizens.

And they don’t want those with “less visible” disabilities either.

Guess you have to be extra disabled to give your free labor for their stock photos.

Do better.

If you went to a No Kings protest today, please know that there are people who felt like they couldn’t and are grateful that you did

a council of women and queers is reading your texts, weighing your soul, and determining your fate

Maybe he should act like it.
