Table for two at Serrato’s in Portland. The table top is marble. An open window overlooks NW 21st Avenue. Hats are on table as are menus.

nice table. #portland

I find it most egregious when there is a need for action and the ones who benefit most are the consultants with pennies on the dollar going to the ones who are supposed to be the recipients. It’s just the fucked up way the capitalist world works.

Finally—Democrats stand up.

Paradise?

Wow. The eruption preceded the earthquake.

How do these Trump appointees (Bove), always look like total assholes. Like they’ve been jerks since kids.

Wednesday!

Dems pleas for support but the status quo approach does not work any more. Support the left for better results.

The horizon is not as far away as you might think. If your organize, the march will take time. A fix never happens in a day. It takes time. Have you ever had to get out of debt? If you have, you know that little goals make the bigger goals attainable.

Who is working these days? Millions of people who make less than $30 per hour. People who have lost their access to healthcare. Journalists who don’t see their work having much meaning and have little impact. These people will develop a fix. The leadership will evolve from their struggles.

Here’s to the French, maybe the Brits, and more countries to come who will support a Palestinian state. It can happen. Stop the genocide.

Starvation in Gaza is destroying communities – and will leave generational scars Health and societal ramifications of extreme hunger will reverberate long after the war is over

Come on Congress — do
something.

Republicans are brazenly rigging the 2026 midterms America can survive the Trump regime—but only if we stop pretending like this is politics as usual. It’s authoritarianism in motion.

On one hand I hear people say don’t blame the Democrats for our state of things but then we see no opposition to blatant gerrymandering from Democratic leadership. Can we start acting in opposition instead of rolling over?Via @scripting.com open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Labor. The force that will work for victory, a core of the opposition.

Who runs Congress? Epstein.

Anticipating the haters — you get it!

Just like Trump.

I think I get it now. The Supreme Court ghosted us. They just moved on, did not make any statements, just ghosted us.

We need a different type of press. The kind with a mission to target abuse and criminal enterprise. Analyze the foundation of the far right, write about all of the people who are aides, commissioners, PR people and then go up the chain of command. Stories abound.

This story gets better and better.

I love it when fervent AI supporters bang their stick about people who are just mildly skeptical about LLMs, agentic AI, and the rest. I saw one dude screaming about typewriters, and all the people who at the time were fearful about job loss. He was so worked up.
