Use their constituent offices as mutual aid hubs from 6 am to midnight. Invite constituents to drop by to share stories about what they are currently doing to support themselves and OTHERS at this time. Members could create a collective asset map using all info gathered. Compile it & share it back.

This whole thread.

I think Trump-as-Putin-asset is not unfounded but clearly functions for many as a story to tell themselves that preserves American innocence. Trump does not need to be controlled by Putin to still benefit Putin because both are authoritarian illiberal nationalists

A tentative agreement between the Hochul administration and the correction officers union to end the wildcat prison strikes that have spread across New York appears to be unraveling. Brendan Lyons explains why. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...

Zelenskyy locking in the support of casual office fit wearers like myself.

setting aside the fact that the entire white house staff is utterly poisoned by online in a way that actually exceeds any democratic staffer, it is incredibly pathetic that they look at trump's temper tantrum and see "strength"

Breaking News: A jury in Illinois convicted a man on murder and hate crime charges in the 2023 stabbing of a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy who lived at his property.

If this were play’d upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.

Again, none of this is going to change unless we acknowledge we can't house this many people under these conditions and we move the supervision of medical care outside of ODOC. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Now this…? The Terminator was meant to be a fictional warning about avoiding this scenario in the future, rather than our current reality. futurism.com/pentagon-pla...

It somehow seems quite predictable that this whole thing emerged from Project Veritas

Earlier this month, Trump deleted NLEAD, a federal police misconduct database. We obtained a summary of what was inside—75 percent of the 5,200 tracked incidents came from border agents and prison guards. theappeal.org/nlead-trumps...

GEO Group Chairman George Zoley said the company stands to gain up to $1 billion in additional revenue from detaining and surveilling undocumented immigrants. New for @theappeal.org.

Man.

The plaintiffs say that they may entirely go under if they don't get emergency relief within days.

My M? R.E.

Supreme Court has temporarily blocked ruling that would require immediate payment to USAID contractors tonight while it figures out what to do next:

Pleased to report that Person Pitch is still incredible and I should’ve put this on more in the last five years. youtu.be/pxBvg6QSZZw?...

One of the core beliefs I've adopted in the last few years is that we generally underrate how goofy and stupid the American past was and that being attentive to that helps us see continuities with the present. It's actually not obvious we live in dumber times. Every day tests this belief anew.

1) it’s money. The right wing has an enormous amount of money being given freely, which creates institutions that maintain coalition discipline 2) neoliberals are actively opposed to the goals of leftists and progressive liberals 3) leftists infight for fun and tradition :3

Bezos is not acting out of fear. He is participating in a political project that benefits him. This distinction is important.

Very unserious response. The PD crisis was created by police overarresting, DAs overcharging, and public defense (from attorneys to paralegals to investigators to secretaries) underfunding. DA lobby desperately wants this to be OPDC's fault and not their own. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Public records obtained by Street Roots show Portland Metro Chamber’s influence over a city administrator’s work on Zenith Energy, providing political cover for the controversial land use approval earlier this month.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

Is an order to enforce a TRO any more appealable than a TRO?

Biden should’ve minted the coin, nuked the politics of debt ceilings, showered manchin and sinema with pork, made the pandemic CTC permanent, wiped student debt clean, introduced price controls, and secured a generational mandate. But instead we’re getting tax cuts for the rich and cuts to Medicaid

Wow, so you can actually win so hard you moot yourself out of fees. Can’t see how that’ll be abused by state and local governments!

disturbing uptick in "we post tweets and talk about them." servile behavior tbh. bluesky is not the Greek chorus for the main character action of twitter, that's loser thinking, have some pride. twitter is dead. post bangers. thank you

Please. Yes, WWE is beyond amoral. (I have an article tomorrow re: Linda McMahon) Yes, CM Punk isn’t Joe Hill. But people gotta stop looking down their noses at this. It isn’t “cosplay”. Punk knows a CTU activist and given the devastating context, a lot of teachers are feeling seen. That matters.

A tornado warning for Molalla, Oregon, interrupted the radio this evening, warning people to seek shelter and be prepared for property damage

The PPA is telling us exactly how they intend to wield the “bias” language in the current CBPA language, and they’re big mad their patsies are no longer in power.

The police union’s response to @councilorkanal.bsky.social proposed changes to police oversight & accountability borders on hysteria. My union — @cwa7901.bsky.social — endorsed Kanal and this is exactly the kind of leadership we were looking for. Show up and support his amendments!

first as tragedy, then as a new thing i’m calling “tragedy II”

NEW - Rep. Mark Alford tells fired KC federal workers ‘God has a plan’ at hostile town hall Folks, I've been covering politics for a dozen years in Kansas and Missouri and this is probably the most intense, angry town hall I have ever seen www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

Portland radically revamped its city council this year with the hope that better, more equitable representation would lead to big, bold ideas … and here they come!

For those who observe: Happy Twin Peaks Day, you beautiful peeps.

"Too many members of our party are guided only by feckless centrism and an allegiance to norms and bipartisanship that cannot withstand the rise of fascism in the United States." Hell yeah @councilormorillo.bsky.social

A woman was forcibly removed from a town hall in Idaho after talking by three unidentified men dressed in black. The sheriff was there and told her to leave. And the emcee of the event called her “the little girl” as she was dragged out. www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/c...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I present to you the next deputy director of the FBI!

protests aren't learning experiences and are not supposed to be persuasive to the protested (or anyone, really) and politicians don't answer questions they don't want to answer, regardless of where they are.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

it was subversive to oppose Spanish fascism in 1937, patriotic to oppose German fascism in 1942
