My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

this is such a massive historical land grab. I imagine some nonprofit entities may try to buy some up and conserve it but it's probably mostly going to be maximally exploited. This could irreparably damage some of the last ecosystems on Earth that could survive climate change.

If we abolish the police, who will witness assassinations before allowing the murderer to leave?

Imagine asking these people to condemn the murder they're gleefully mocking.

Kept the eye. The more I think of it, the more I feel I was targeted because of my previous protests.

All pigs need to be relieved of duty.

A few thousand people gathered for Donald Trump's fascist military parade. Many millions assembled to oppose it. Trump's core of support is comprised chiefly of stay-at-home racists and mercenaries who hurt people for pay. Those who act according to their consciences overwhelmingly oppose him.

My dad. Nerd supreme, not without warts but taught me social justice principles without ever framing it in those terms. Lasting memory I carry is him crying when Harvey Milk was assassinated. The strength of vulnerability. Also dope outfit, dad

On Father’s Day, thinking abt William/Bill Thrasher (1935-2003) and how as a USAF vet who became a peace activist & held this sign, circa 1984: “SALVADORAN WOMEN & CHILDREN RAPED, TORTURED & MURDER WITH US MILITARY AID.” His politics hampered his education career. I am very much my father’s son.

I just need you to look at these graphs, remember that fascism runs on fossil fuels, and come to some conclusions that involve collective action items:

Nez Pierce dude Jordie from PDX demonstrating how the Yankee Doodle Feds ain't shit! American Indigenous Movement of Oregon. Chief Joseph lives.

Today’s moment of zen, I can’t stop watching

The protests aren’t stopping anytime soon in AZ. Thousands of protesters in Tempe right now for an anti-ICE protest.

This is just who conservatives are, blind ignorant violence. Also water is wet and the sun rises in the east

after the hundreds of thousands of deaths that occurred during the iraq war, nobody was held accountable. those who lied, got away with it. those journalists who pushed for war still have careers today. that must not be allowed to happen now. those who support & commit genocide must be made to pay

The terror theater is changing venues because of inconvenience to patrons

"You need a revolutionized approach to herb cultivation and flavor enhancement tailored to the unique lifestyles of affluent suburban men trying to paper over their questionable political views with shallow displays of culinary affectation."

The West Bank.

First, Israel cut Gaza’s last internet cable—blacking out 2.3 million people. Then it bombed Iran with no UN approval, no imminent threat. As eyes shift to Iran, Israel will escalate its ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and create more regional instability.

A key Obama—and Harris—strategist is going to work for a crypto scam (he worked at Uber before). It’s emblematic of how corrupt the Democratic Party is at an institutional level. The path to a more free, more fair, more just country requires a new political system that enables new parties.

I’m telling ya, they have no plans to surrender power. Ever. Get that through. Internalize that. Abolish ICE is the weakest solution.

Literally every org consulted here receives funding from the Department of Homeland Security

I JUST sounded the alarm in the Oversight committee on the fact that this administration has threatened to arrest elected officials and they have. A judge, a mayor, a Representative, and now a US Senator in his OWN STATE during an open press conference. Governors will be next.

This right here. Crystallizing my thoughts and all that

ACAb

LRAD in site just now. 60-90 minutes cops will escalate and move in for minor shit. Cops intend to hurt these kids they brought 5 paramedic ERT RRT members of the police only fire fighter by nane, not by duty or action. They only help cops and the kids cops almost kill.

Hey PDX folks, if you’re comfortable signing petitions, please consider this one that implores city council to revoke ICE’s permit to operate its facility in Portland. campaigns.organizefor.org/petitions/re... Revoke the Permit for the ICE Detention Facility in Portland | OrganizeFor

The Sumud Convoy: Over 10,000 people from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania and Egypt are heading toward the Rafah border to break the siege

Through heartbreak and tears, a Palestinian mother bids a final farewell to her son, shot and killed by Israeli forces as he waited for food aid at the Al-Nabulsi roundabout in western Gaza City.

Wife is out of town for work. At an ICE protest while there. I do my best to explain to goblin child why mama is doing that. The gov’t is being assholes sending people away, for nothing. She gets fierce. “I agree, they are being assholes.” 🖤✊🏻

Spokane. This is happening in Spokane. This shit really is happening everywhere. Thread 👇🏻

These "hunger games" being played by Israel and the US are so disgusting. The humiliation and terrorizing and murdering of Palestinians via inhumanitarian aid is further evidence of how dehumanized Israel and the US are. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
