one time I was like "help I'm scared of bomb threats" and my employer was like "here's the section's admin, she has experience with when staff get kidnapped" and boy did I feel silly

The quest for every Gap store playlist ever Gap Playlists is an exercise in data collection and nostalgia.

I think we are all in dire need of a brain cleanse so here you go 🥹 www.theverge.com/report/79080...

I know this is hardly the point but I really wish these western chauvinists would take more pride in western civilization and read a fucking book about it

I feel like portlanders are out here cosplaying as portlanders

these mfers wanted to take guys away from their real jobs to do fascism for free 😭

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown

the doj was like "idk"

the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

Everything is terrorism in Trump’s America But don’t call that fascism. That would be bad.

That’s the spirit of it

Portland never stops being Portland.

Oregon, California governors blast Trump for deploying California Guard despite court order Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said Sunday that the president's action to send 300 California National Guard members to Portland appears to circumvent the federal judge's Saturday ruling to temporarily block ...

Oregon leaders say California National Guard members were flown into Oregon last night in an effort to circumvent a federal court ruling.

someone showed me the undersecretary of state for public diplomacy the other day and I completely lost my mind. what a lunatic. what a timeline. never seen a cucked race scientist before

Motion granted. Guard blocked from activation in Portland. Story to come @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

lot of problems with that piece but here's one: if anyone tries to blame "empty downtown" on anything other than

1) the pandemic
2) ted wheeler destroying the big food cart pod so his developer friends could build a hotel no one uses

they're either a moron or a developer

The choice to mention the Governor's attack on Preschool for All without revealing that a broad coalition of hundreds of community members showed up (twice) in droves to defend the program, leaving the governor & a county commissioner to slink away in shame, is a CHOICE. +

Waking up to some careless parachute journalism from the NYT. Really frustrating that @kellen.bsky.social chooses to write that "some top filers" have left Portland due to the Preschool for All tax but neglects to mention that the number of overall filers went up by many thousands in that period.+

this is the funniest fucking lede image. anyone who has been to portland will be like "??? what is that"

omg

Oregon’s National Guard lawsuit hinges on Trump’s Truth Social posts “The president thinks it’s World War II out here.”

The lawsuit boils down to two things: the “great level of deference” owed to the Executive Branch when federalizing the National Guard, and the obvious truth that the Executive Branch is, at the moment, completely out of its gourd and posting through it. www.theverge.com/policy/79204...

I'm a love island uk purist

moy name is david and I'm twenty-nine [wink sound effect] I'm here to crack on with the birds [camera pans away from very suspicious looking tattoo]

the ellison nepobaby has the face of someone who'd get cast on love island for one of the episodes where you're throwing twenty new guys into the villa at the same time so there's like a bunch of good looking guys and then there's guys the camera refuses to linger on until they say something insane

lol lmao

The most significant battles that the Trump regime has won have been against corporations, institutions, billionaires, and elites — the “chickenshit,” in journalist Adam Serwer’s words, worse than mere cowards. “Acts of cowardice can be provoked by genuine danger — think of a deserting soldier fleeing the peril of the battlefield,” he writes. “When you’re chickenshit, you capitulate to avoid the mere possibility of discomfort, let alone something resembling real risk.”

App Store not beating the chickenshit allegations

So antifa could be a kid in a black mask tossing a brick at a CCTV camera at an ICE facility. Antifa could be the grandma on the sidewalk holding a sign reading “DONALD TRUMP IS A FASCIST.” Antifa is ACAB. Antifa is Fuck ICE. Antifa is No Kings. Antifa might be a reading group, a teach-in, an Instagram solicitation for mutual aid. Antifa could be the ICEBlock app, and the App Store could be providing material support for terrorism.

Just to be clear, we wrote that paragraph long before the App Store removed ICEBlock. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

I KNOW, at this point the really unknowable thing is how each reveal still manages to get a lol and a lmao out of me
