You can lie every day about your behavior and have the same 5 people support you, but it'll never change the fact that you're an abuser.

A cardboard bankers box sitting on top of an office chair filled with assorted odds and ends as I cleaned out my desk

I need some help. Got laid-off on Friday: unannounced budget change + my position was first cut, so it was a total surprise. Thanks to a tax status loophole my employer manipulated, I cant get unemployment. In short im SOL

Anything you can give would be huge

As a person who's actually a pretty terrible bullshitter I do find it very hilarious that they made a robot to automate bullshitting and it speaks HR fluently

It's like #1 use case is produce a very long non-answer to a non-question. It's actually a fantastic bullshitter.

Unfortunately, what that reveals is just how many jobs expect workers to engage with and generate bullshit and pretend that's not what they're doing

Ok, I see why people with email jobs ask chatgpt to write everything now.

If a large chunk of my job was having to produce answer-shaped objects and they invented a machine that could automate that I too would find that very useful

Oh good, it's going well

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

every day it's a man who looks like my father, taken to the ground. a man who looks like my brother, on his knees. a woman who looks just like my sister, screaming for her children. every day.

We are living under an aspiring fascist regime that has not yet fully consolidated. This is not difficult to understand unless you get paid to muddy the waters.

Pretty clear that nonwhite immigrants are already living under the prerogative state, and that the administration hopes and intends that purview of that state will expand.

I appreciate Ernst Fraenkel’s concept of the “dual state,” wherein a fascist regime (in his example, the Nazis) will observe set rules and regulations when confronting some actors—what he calls the “normative state”—and will use arbitrary, unchecked violence towards others—the “prerogative state.”

I know it sucks not to be able to shout our victories from the rooftops, but to quote a silly little video game I'm fond of, "overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer".

Don't help the state get revenge on your comrades!

Don't help them make an example of your comrades that will cause a chilling effect. We want more de-arrests, not less.

It's true that propaganda of the deed shows us what is possible. A solidarity that keeps folks out of prison is what takes things from possible to likely

Getting away with it in the moment is not the same as getting away with it forever, and no matter how inspiring a video is, if folks' faces are in it please, please don't spread it without censoring.

The state has a long memory and they can come for you weeks, months, or years later

The thing I really want to add is that, per the white house's own website the *actual* motivation for sending troops to PDX is not in fact the current protests, but that the regime wants revenge for protests that took place here during Trump's previous term

Pro-tip: if you have video of you or others directly intervening to obstruct ICE or de-arrest someone, for god’s sake don’t post it on social media. Or at a minimum blur faces first. You’re just begging for federal charges.

So many of you out here screaming that we are under authoritarian rule in a fascist police state and then share videos that will get people thrown in a hole for 15 years. You are fucking clown shoes.

Newsom: California National Guard ‘on their way’ to Oregon, on Trump’s orders Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday said President Trump deployed California National Guard troops to Oregon, after a federal judge on Saturday blocked Trump's attempt to deploy Oregon's citizen soldiers.

Lmao, I clicked through and I'm already blocked, which ofc isn't a smoking gun, but considering I was both unaware of the account's existence and have a rather public history of, shall we say, very direct conflict with LB, it definitely increases the likelihood significantly

This post sent me off to do a little research and I am unfortunately here to report back that the lyrics are really not that far off

As a conservative, I’ve always advocated for a government small enough that it could militarily occupy several American cities at the same time, against the stated wishes of local elected officials. It should also be small and nimble enough so that it can zip tie children together at 1AM.

Caught between "hey they shouldn't have beaten up Greta Thunberg, that's fucked" and "Greta is a 22-year-old woman, being autistic doesn't make her a child" since apparently allistic commentators see an incompatibility there

One of the things that sucks about this era is having to think about the racists all the time, because they’re so boring. They have like, three tools in their toolkit, so we get to say things like “oh look, they’re using the hammer again”

Intense attack by feds just now at Portland ICE, gas and pepper balls fired into the crowd indiscriminately and without provocation. Gonna take a lot more than that to make us leave.
