Hey, so folks are saying: if you protest, donā€™t post any photos! And yeah, thatā€™s trueā€¦ for folks like BIPOC, Disabled, Visa/Greencard holders, etc. But thatā€™s not true for white men or women. We NEED the demographics of the people that voted for him to be on the front lines here. Digitally too.

UCONN! HUSKIES! Saturday at 10am PT / 1pm ET on ESPN

Jessie Mahaffey, who was scrubbing the deck of the U.S.S. Oklahoma when it was hit by Japanese torpedoes at Pearl Harbor in 1941, and who was among the last living service members who survived the surprise attack, died on March 1 at 102.

breaking via inbox: ā€œOn March 8, Department of Homeland Security agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and recent grad student at Columbia, at his place of residence, an apartment building owned by the university. The DHS agents said that the State Dept revoked Khalilā€™s green card.ā€

Critical to remember. The constitution has a really straightforward tool to deal with this situation.

Every accusation is an intention.

To go along with our piece today, we published an extensive list of folks associated with DOGE. It builds off and adds to the strong work that Wired, WaPo, ProPublica and other pubs have been doing. The public has a right to know who is dismantling the government. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Don't forget!

Small changes are still impactful.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Great friends here @juttypdx.bsky.social @welltextured.bsky.social

A priest, a rabbit and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender asks the rabbit "what'll ya have?" The rabbit says "I dunno. I'm only here because of autocorrect." šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

Truly humbling moment. I dont like being put on a pedestal, but I won't lie this was pretty cool as was when we gave a press conference together in Manhattan. Thanks Mr. De Niro

I keep thinking about this quote from one of his supporters from the first term. www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/u...

The idea that the harm will only come to other people is such an under-appreciated part of how we got here.

Knowledge is powerā€¦

American institutionsā€”from the media to Congressā€”continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what weā€™re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Congress: By phone: (202) 224-3121 By email: Congress.gov By US mail: Representatives / Senators By fax: Representatives / Senators By Resistbot: Resist.bot CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TO BOYCOTT THE STATE OF THE UNION (Coup)

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

Marsha P. Johnson threw the first brick through a cop car windshield which became the spark to set off the Stonewall Riotā€” the reason this building is a national monument. History will not be erased. Trans and Queer people will not be erased. They have ALWAYS existed.

JuJu!!!!!

Be clear: Marsha P Johnson didn't throw a brick through a patrol car windshield to be erased from history. Trans women of color were some of the loudest voices in both word and deed. That should never be forgotten no matter how much the fascists try to minimize and erase their contributions.

I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history. How fucking dare they Old vs. new

In case this won't be reported, Senate Dems are holding the floor for 30 hours to try to stall the RFK Vote! Here's the press release from Wyden's office.

A federal judge ordered the CDC to temporarily restore the pages it has taken down from its website to comply with President Trumpā€™s executive order barring any references to race, gender identity or sexual orientation.

Trump just fired the USAID Inspector General. Why? The IG released a report on the negative impact of USAIDā€™s dismantling, including reports that food for hungry people is rotting in warehouses. Ā  $489 million of food grown by American farmers. Ā  THAT is waste.

While weā€™ve hosted many over the years, in 2022 staff requested that this naturalization ceremony to be how Oregon Historical Society celebrates Oregon statehood day. šŸ’”šŸ’” How awful for all these people whoā€™ve committed to joining this beautiful experiment.

This month and every month, we celebrate, honor, and acknowledge Black history, culture, and the incredible contributions of Black communities in Portland and beyond. Check out a few of the wonderful organizations doing impactful work here: www.thorns.com/news/celebra...

Generations of Black patriots have fought in every battle. In every war. They fought when that freedom didnā€™t include them. Black History is, and will ALWAYS be, American History. #BlackHistoryMonth
