BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

The Blazers are past the midway point of their first season with a new broadcasting model, and the early returns of the bet have come back positive in terms of viewership. "[W]e believe that when you do the right thing by the fans, then you’re going to be okay.” Story on the local ratings surge:

This is the pinnacle for me

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Sorry, but if you started ignoring Moo Deng the second she got a little older and are now obsessed with Ume you’re no better than Leonardo DiCaprio

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Hope you enjoyed your stay, in hell.

Here's something insane: the Portland Trail Blazers have one fewer home win than the Boston Celtics

Repeating past cycles of behavior? Brother, we call that doing emotional doughnuts

Every person I know is currently either like "I need a job so badly!!!" or "My job is destroying my mind and body!!!"

In a season with lots of ups and downs it was great to see history made, the largest margin of victory ever for the Blazers 😎

100000000% THIS Remember Mitch McConnell's strategy was to use unchallenged seats on school boards, city councils, etc to build a foundation of extreme right-wing power. Progressives need to do the same. This is why I donate to @runforsomething.net monthly. If you're willing, they'll help you run.

The "we need to welcome disgruntled Trump supporters" push needs to be understood not as outreach (90% of those spouting it won't ever do any) but as trying to find an excuse to ditch the people most in danger to appease conservatives. This is a very real problem. It's a major reason we got here.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Stud lesbians in the restroom are not a threat. But cops sure the fuck are.

"Is Pepsi okay?" No, actually

PORTLAND: Tesla will be exhibiting vehicles at the Oregon International Auto Show, starting today and running through the end of the weekend. People use this event to survey the market for new vehicles ahead of purchasing, so it's an ideal place to interrupt potential new Tesla sales. #TeslaTakedown

Rad Magic Meatball sub as consolation 🥖🥪

(Shania) Man! I feel like a goblin

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

It’s journalistic malpractice — to the extent that’s a thing any more — to talk about this Ed Martin letter without clarifying that every expert, other than administration hacks, thinks that Garcia’s statement was not remotely plausibly a true threat. It’s simply ludicrous.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

[You'll have seen this in lots of my writing.]

“The Trump administration’s slogan is ‘Unleash American Energy,’” said Hal T. Nelson, associate professor and director of the energy policy and management graduate certificate program at Portland State University. “And in this case, it’s likely to unleash American blackouts.”

DMV day 🙄🎉 my ID is about to be so real.

Nevada has suspended its cage-free egg law in an effort to boost the state's egg supply — but it won't work. The governor, and lawmakers in two other states, are using this moment to attempt to repeal cage-free egg laws altogether: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Blazers fans tonight: My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead. My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. Psalm 22:15-16

last minute change of plans puts me at the Blazers/Lakers game tonight even though the Lakers is my least favorite team to see live because their fans can be so stinky 🫡 send powerful, menacing vibes my way

Avoiding people, and Lakers fans especially today, I feel too cranky and frazzled today to be social. But still it's go Blazers...

Bobby Portis official suspension for taking Tramadol (allegedly by mistake): 25 games Miles Bridges official suspension for domestic abuse, including “strangulation, brain concussion, closed fracture of nasal bone, contusion of rib, multiple bruises, and a neck muscle strain”: 10 games

this is not universal but it is distressingly common among legacy media people. the idea that they have any duty to society or responsibility beyond getting clicks and clout is abhorrent to a sizable number of people at the top of this industry

LeVar Ball sacrificed his foot for that win

I'm gonna get Parkinson's from pesticides in weed 🤷 or we could cut the pesticides? youtu.be/xLSgm1siXIs?...

That's not how I would describe this, don't oversensationaliz, this is basic emotions coming out in a game that should be allowed to get at least somewhat emotional. Refs control the game too much, don't care which team you root for, don't mischaracterize Reeve's emotions. Don't lick ref feet.
