Portland Mayor Keith Wilson: “We anticipate that the site, and the half-block surrounding it, will continue to be a focus of protests. Portland will continue to rise to the moment as a proud sanctuary city, taking legal action to stand up for our community and our rights.”

Good news for access to COVID-19 #vaccines in Washington state!
Wow. Prime material for the Republican Administration. theintercept.com/2016/12/20/t...
I'm surprised "Bauhaus" is not in your credentials ;)
gotten many messages (public & private) the last few months re: abundance i'm the single stair guy i support *broad* zoning + code reforms, i'm a big housing nerd, i wrote a book on development, i've been pushing baugruppen for 15 years (🫠), a founding board member for seattle social housing PDA
"Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn, and cauldron bubble."
Yeah, that's where I was going. How would future mayor handle SPD during big protests. Cause we will have those for sure.
I'm moderating a debate, on TV! What would you ask? www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
What will you do when large scale protests break out in the city due to some upcoming Republican Administration bullshit?
Found it Ip3.joi.com/media2 Of course, this doesn't really answer any of the questions raised, because it's a thinly veiled advertising campaign for an AI chatbot 😂
Agreed. The irony of not being willing to enact sensible gun laws to protect our children at school or church while demanding to curb gun access for their made-up culture war is maddening.
Big parts of "The Press" in pursuit of profit has been sane-washing bullshit for years now and is majorly complicit in how we got here.
So the US military is now at war with a vaguely defined enemy (drug cartels) across a vast area (the Caribbean) with no specific goal (“winning” and “defeating them”) and accusing a regional government (Venezuela) of sponsoring that vague enemy without showing proof? Sounds pretty forever warish.
I'm sorry, but these people can and will argue exactly that... They are not burdened by logic, fact, or conscience.
A solid 40% of the population of every country is an insane, brain-damaged peasant who decides who to vote for based on the last conspiracy theory they saw on Instagram Reels

Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes. The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.
when he does finally go i will demand not just the death certificate but the long form death certificate
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
Thanks for taking one for the team.
Look if people insist on electing 80 year olds with bad McDonalds habits as President, we will all have to play the very silly game of “dead or not dead” on the regular.
That's a good one, but I already knew there were a lot of racist people in the country before they detained firefighters over their immigration status while those were busy fighting the largest fires in the state.
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
“exploit the AI to steal vibe-coders’ crypto” is a perfect summation of our modern tech environment, well done all around
“Reports of mistreatment have been widespread and have included disturbing details of overcrowding, food shortages, lack of adequate medical care, and unsanitary conditions.”
RFK Jr resigning is a pretty good solution in my book.
#morals are difficult - try it neal.fun/absurd-troll...
I hope that when RFK Jr dies someday, someone has been hired and trained to capture whatever crawls out of the body, so that it doesn't find a new host
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
They should do this to Stephen Miller when It Happens
People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.
I’m not getting my hopes up just yet. But man this country will throw a party like we’ve never seen before once it actually happens.
I don't care where the candidate is running, I will always repost political ads that suggest specific doable universal things for improving the lives of working class people

"..The industry knew of CO2’s potential climate impact as early as 1954 via, strikingly, the work of Keeling, then a 26-year-old Caltech researcher conducting formative work measuring CO2 levels across California and the waters of the Pacific ocean."

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time. This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

It's pretty easily explained, when you look at a map of locations ...
One bias I found with myself is that there are no CB anywhere near where I am, so it feels like an irrelevant company, when they aren't doing too badly financially.
A Washington National Guard veteran was arrested Thursday during his final citizenship interview at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services building in Tukwila. He is now being held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma.

What you have to understand about the op-ed class is that they aren't actually arguing any point of view - they're maneuvering in a social space. Editorial takes start with a real-world event, and then analyze it in a way that places the author in his desired position vis-a-vis everyone else.

It's a very, very small car-free space in my mind. There are some fabulous parks here, but I so miss the pedestrian precincts I grew up with. For example www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6dP...

This poor women with her 6 year old was moved from the Canadian border near Vancouver to Texas, because that's the one detention center they have for families. Though, they could have also just released her because there was just a small technical visa issue 😡
Remember, we will have a ton of kids, so you are quite replaceable, Torsten!
my mother is an extremely normie Dem and half my conversations with her about politics should never be put into written form
Growing up, I never heard my mom swear….now ever other text I get includes some version of “Fuck Trump
I wonder how they did the wolf and bat breading program
I'm sorry Congresswoman. You can't simultaneously declare your objection to sweeps while also endorsing a mayor in your own city who has aggressively swept your constituents and slow-walked any meaningful expansion of services. 🤦🏽♀️
