ICYMI: I wrote a big anti Rahm piece a few months ago. www.readtpa.com/p/the-smalle...

Please help PIRC build out the rapid response network in the Gresham community. We need folks who can be dispatched within 10 min or less and preferably 5 min or less. This is why we want the 150 spots for this in-person training to be priority for Gresham folks. Together we will win!

I like how everyone is cracking up about DHS arresting "the ex girl friend of the founder of antifa" when she is a real person with real federal charges and yall just going to abandon her too?

Why won't anyone do a story on any of us getting railroaded?

Silenced.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Rest in power. ✊️

Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

A member of our community desperately needs your help!

Anyone out there willing to help procure, or donate, a gently used electric wheelchair?

Mutual Aid Request: Support request for 2 disabled trans parents/community members. We've been helping a comrade through a health crisis this past week with a place to stay and rides to places (and will be continuing to do so.) We could use substantial help with food and utilities to keep supporting our comrade and ourselves, and specifically for gas money tonhelp get our comrade to necessary healthcare appointments.

Updated Sunday, Aug. 10, 10 a.m. Cooling centers are NOT open at this time. Midland, Albina and Central Libraries will extend their open hours until 8 p.m. tonight, Sunday, Aug. 10; other libraries are open until 6 p.m. Multnomah County and its partners are watching forecasts that show high temperatures on Sunday, Aug. 10, through Tuesday, Aug. 12, with temperatures possibly reaching the upper 90s or even 100 degrees. Overnight temperatures also are likely to stay relatively high as this forecast heat wave lingers through the early part of the week.

The County is ready to open cooling centers if and when thresholds are met in the coming days. If cooling centers open, information about locations and hours will be posted on this webpage (multco.us/hot). Check this interactive map of libraries, community centers, malls, interactive fountains, swimming pools and splashpads for places you can go to cool off. Always confirm hours and locations of libraries before you go. Remember that some libraries are closed for construction. Certain groups most at risk of heat-related illness People facing the highest risk of heat-related illness include: Men over 55 who live alone. People without access to air conditioning. Pregnant people. People on certain medications. People who work in hot indoor or outdoor environments. People engaging in strenuous or new outdoor recreational activities (especially children on turf fields). People who have consumed alcohol.

The policy of not opening cooling centers until the temperature reaches an arbitrary threshold is a blight on our community and only serves to punish poor & unhoused folks who don't have easy access to air-conditioning or cold water

We have an allocation problem rather than a supply problem. There are good reasons that housing prices don't follow the same economic principles as discretionary items.

Don’t forget, Indigenous Peoples Day is on 9 August 2025. 🪶🪶

I've missed playing chess.

See plot of Dune for more about AI and social stagnation (though not directly connected in that work to be fair).

Joking aside, I’ve been to some of the hardest places on earth and seen immense suffering, and I believe we are closer to a beautiful life than many of us think. One thing I see consistently, even amidst war and death, is people taking care of each other without expecting anything in return.

In the wake of SNAP cuts, feeding hungry Illinoisans falls more than ever on food pantries As food prices increase and benefits diminish, nonprofits have to pick up the slack.

If I were a young person currently trying to figure out antifascist action, I would focus on creating a food specific mutual aid project in my direct community. It would be a good way to connect with neighbors and to offer needed sustenance.

That's a good start, please consider banning them from sensitive locations such as Turtle Island.

For mortality stats like this it's important to consider the effects of healthcare on the outcome. Iirc I've read another study identifying links between disparities in deaths from gun violence and the treatment of BIPOC people in emergency healthcare.

Yeah, what is the criteria actually for using LTLs on people for the LAPD if it's not imminent threat?

Paying Microsoft less is an independent good.

Very many people voted to cut research into cancer. It's fair to discuss whether they understood that's what they voted for but it's wild to imply that this wasn't predictable.

Two headlines: from the NYTimes and Al Jazeera. "Netanyahu, Trump discuss forced transfer of Palestinians out of Gaza" and "Netanyahu releases letter nominating Trump for Nobel Peace Prize"

This is what the NY Times chose to highlight from the Netanyahu/Trump meeting, compared to Al Jazeera.

You decide which is the important news.

Mainstream Media's Cover Up of Israel's Systematic Rape of Palestinian Teenagers & Women It's been 101 days since Palestinian women testified to being systematically raped, gang raped, beaten on their genitals & forced to perform sexual acts by Israeli soldiers. Zero media coverage since!

Great for whom? The US has never been particularly good for the vast majority of its residents and rosy appeals to American exceptionalism are insulting and, today, pretty poorly timed.
