Non-Oregon followers: The state recently redistricted and pretty much put all the solid red areas into one seat. This is that seat.

It's impossible to predict the future and I am prepared to be disappointed, but I feel the probability error bars are creeping towards an enormous backlash to this shit

I wonder if you can guess, without reading the headlines, which TWO people in this picture just got fired from the Joint Chiefs. Go ahead, take a wild guess. Pick two.

Well, this sucks, especially the part about it slowing down the opening of shelter beds. But how about instead of Metro and the State of Oregon giving money to the county, they just do it themselves? Thanks, JVP, for dropping these letters on a Friday. #pdx www.kgw.com/article/news...

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

okay, as a way of sort of gauging something for a potential project i am thinking about - if you’re a federal worker or contractor, and you’ve been impacted by doge, what would be the best way to solicit some information from you? not asking for your email or number, just asking a hypothetical.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

This is bad. A disgraced former Oregon judge (who I’ve appeared before) is now a senior advisor to Emil Bove. Expect Bove to now sic DOJ on Day’s many political enemies in Oregon.

all of these people have or had public profiles. all of them have families and friends and businesses that can be connected to them. we cannot remove them from doge, but we can collectively ruin them.

So, uh, the waterfront park could have looked like this, instead of the mud and geese field we have now. I'm crying looking at these plans! #pdx www.reddit.com/r/Portland/c...

Okay so I've never been to Clyde's Prime Rib on NE Sandy, even though I've driven past it a zillion times. Is it strip club people wink wink nod nod about? A regular restaurant but kind of sketchy/dump? Or is it just an old timey Portland thing that is solid but not trendy? #pdx

Veronica Mars. I like film noir, a sarcastic high school girl doing film noir is perfect. She wasn't nice - she was honest and went for the truth, even if it wasn't easy and revealing had consequences.

Well, here it is. The name of the group that’s fighting against Portland having a filtered drinking water and trying to clog things up so it’s more expensive and never gets built. 😒 #pdx

I’m glad that with the jump over to Bluesky people stopped using that Jennifer Anniston thinking during an interview gif. I’m not a fan of gifs in general, but that one got way over-used and usually didn’t add anything to the post.

Wild how “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m trying to delete it” is now official government policy.

Just saw one of those Chapo guys on Twitter RT'ing a Russian propaganda site and saying Biden, Blinken and Sullivan should go to hell for helping Ukraine defend itself. In case you were wondering whether people like that should have a place in the Democratic coalition, the answer is no.

firing a shitload of FBI agents and CIA agents is the funniest possible pathway to a blue Utah becoming reality

See? This is how I know ghosts aren’t real. If they were my grandfather, who was career US Navy from 1929-1970, would absolutely haunt the shit out of all us for allowing this to happen.
