‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

A mom from the fancy suburbs of Portland is posting abolish ice content. This family are members of the most exclusive golf course in Oregon. Dad is a VP at EY. I assumed voted conservative. It’s heart warming.

TUBI or not TUBI? lolzzzzzz that's right THE PEOPLE'S JOKER is now available to watch for FREE on TUBI! We also just dropped a bunch of new merch at the yeyostore (check it below). It's the best day of your life!

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

I can't express enough what it means to be living in this time and place where half of our city council shows up for the community and swears at the appropriate times.

The other half? The other half were endorsed by powerful regressive business associations and the police union.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Proposed 2026 Transit Service Changes Weigh in on proposed service efficiencies and cuts for Aug. 23, 2026, as TriMet reduces spending.

the real doom loop is service cuts to our transit system. if you cut frequency on an already infrequent system, it’s going to hurt ridership, which will lead to more cuts and fare hikes, which further hurt ridership. all of that of course adds future liabilities to the rest of the transport system

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years.

Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

Great ep!

really tired of seeing claims that our illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president is to "distract" us from the Epstein files. Trump and the men around him have wanted this for a long time. this is a bad thing in its own right, not some attempt to hide from accountability

70% of Americans oppose war with Venezuela.

When you see local “Democrats” working with Future Portland, Parternship for Progress, etc, or when WW & Oregonian present these groups as “moderate” remember this is who they are. Here is Owendoff prominently featured at recent events from both groups.

Shut up. Coward.

Ok. Found a video with a better breakdown.

Historians say "murdered by zoomer with incomprehensible politics" was one of the leading causes of death in the mid 21st century- to be exceeded only by "Climate, Miscellaneous"

Does anyone know of any other examples of where a video synchs perfectly to other audio, like the This Is America video clip set to Call Me Maybe?

Why Organized Money Beats Disorganized People How the master plan created the central axiom that has enshittified American politics.

NEW: Americans want AI regulation & yet the opposite may happen.

Same thing happened on Wall Street regs, crypto & health care.

It's an axiom: legalized bribery enshittifies politics so organized money defeats disorganized people, even when people want something better.

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

@stefanheck.bsky.social it was not long ago that I thanked you for inspiring me to be a Canucks fan. After that short handed Calgary goal I’ve decided to unsubscribe from IHTT, GOK, BP

Cosmic?

Massie was crucial to forging the Epstein bill coalition. What he's saying here -- that Epstein had CIA and Mossad ties -- is supported by reporting, notably the excellent series at Drop Site on Epstein's as an international power broker. The mainstream media has almost entirely ignored this topic.

I don’t want to promote a maga type thing but I think it could be useful to say things like we want to return to a tax structure that existed in the 1970’s etc…these goals aren’t extreme they were part of the history of our country and it worked.

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures

If it didn’t fuck up breakfast I think it’s going to survive.

I'd run on that

you can convincingly portray this whole financialized AI edifice as a mortgage crisis-style house of cards without even mentioning that the fundamental product is unreliable, based on outright theft, and people don’t like it.

Blake Treinen in the bullpen watching a six-hour YouTube video about chemtrails and who REALLY profits from weather modification on his phone. This is part of his process. He can't give up three straight doubles unless he's in the right mindset.
