Love to think about all the guys in my liberal law school’s constitutional analysis class who were just like “them’s the breaks can’t argue with their reasoning.”

🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

My son has an egg allergy and before that we were vegan so I haven’t cooked with eggs since 2019. Now that everyone else is involuntarily egg free you should know that Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer is excellent for baked goods requiring a whole egg.

Maybe I’m being too soft on Kanal but I think the implicit issue underlying his reasoning is that you can make transit trips faster but there is an upper limit on bike trips for most people. If we prioritize transit we can improve commuting times for a greater number of Portlanders.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

I keep thinking of this

In approving a loan to a new athletics appeal start-up in Old Town, Portland's development agency flouted its own guidelines for commercial loans.

Learning about the role Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines played in the Rwandan genocide really helped me understand how this happens too. JD Vance knows how dangerous this is and either doesn’t care or wants to create the danger.

I just figured out Jesse Helms is not Jesse Ventura.

I know there is a lot wrong here but I have nursed two children since 2021 and have never seen the term “breastfeeding” policed in any way under any circumstance and I live in PDX! I have seen people and institutions use “chestfeeding” but usage =/= requiring.

I’m just some lady but I do not think history will look kindly upon Joe Biden for running for a second term.

Lots of snow, lots of wind in St. Johns.

Garrett coming through with a good, heart-expanding take, as always. I also am embarrassed that I cried at the google AI ad.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

A nice antidote to everything was going to the grand reopening of the North Portland Library today. I love how they centered the cultural diversity of the neighborhood in the programming. Plus, free stuff!

USAID’s shutdown will hurt rural Americans: it purchased $2B in corn, wheat, soy et al from midwestern farmers www.startribune.com/usaid-shutte...

I can’t believe it took me this long to find out Jason Mantzoukas is going to be on Taskmaster. Literally a dream come true.

I guess Emily Bazelon? Although Emily Blunt seems a little suss.

Are you really fighting fascism if you haven’t cried on your Senator’s voicemail?

Putting together valentine’s for my son’s preschool and man everything that used to be fine is just crappy now. Tell me why they included a second sticker that says “made in china?”

We made a handful of these and put them in our Little Free Library and a neighborhood mutual aid pantry. It felt good to do something useful.

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

My kid’s preschool is becoming a preschool for all provider 🎉👏🏼🎊🙌🏼

I followed @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social on tiktok for years and she is such a clear communicator. I never find her to be hyperbolic or reliant on slogans or theory. So to see the outrageous tone policing she’s receiving from people supposedly on her side is ridiculous.

Honestly what was the point of working so hard to get Bynum elected?

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

I updated my registration yesterday to join the Working Families Party. Oregon makes it extremely easy to do online if you have a drivers license.
