Looking for recs for a criminal defense attorney.

Nothing like a sellout who finally gets to hang with massa.

Oh.

On my way out of City Hall, I saw a young lady who had been crying in the council chambers during testimony, so I stopped to ask if she was OK. She expressed that hearing politicians talk and debate policy, but not specifically about how to keep people housed was more frustrating than she expected.

Watching city councilors do mental gymnastics in their search for reasons to oppose Portland banning AI price fixing.

I learned today that inclusionary housing was made illegal in the State of Oregon from 1999 to 2015. So 35 years after racial segregation was outlawed, Oregon made class segregation mandatory. Explains A LOT.

Abiy Tsom starts in 2 days. It's go time.

A probable terrorist plot that killed and injured zero people but destroyed three empty buses is getting more international mainstream coverage than nearly 100 Palestinians killed and over 800 injured since the ceasefire. Three empty buses are more human than 900+ Palestinians.

Just seen a lady bathing in a parking lot puddle. We are in dark times.

Taking this county-mandated 15-minute online training and you can't skip the videos, but I thought I'd be clever and speed up the playback. Plot twist, I finished the video and I can't move to the test for another 5 minutes.

We good over here.

"It's very hard to communicate with Mac, and I can't articulate that as well as he can." Huh?

Eric Adams single-handedly proving that there is no daylight between Democrats and Republicans.

Lord, the discourse on Twitter has become so abysmal. Tik-tok on the same course.

Side conversations that prolong work meetings <<<<<<

Grew up in an America that publicly pounded its chest for having checks and balances. The incorruptible Eliott Ness was said to be the standard, and official bribery was third-world behavior to be frowned upon. We don't even pretend anymore.

This is great news. This kind of thing gets sited as precedent in future cases/arguments.

Being plagiarized by my own supervisor is insane work.

There's nobody more terrified of punishment than people who never get punished.

This is the American default response to homelessness...hide the homeless then ignore them. How is Portland different, again?

Got invited to Superbowl party and now I have to look up who's playing.

I drank Malört for the first and last time tonight.

Need home supplies and I heard Target is not for us. So I'm at Costco setting up that membership.

The most annoying alarm is blasting very loudly from the building above CC Slaughters. No one seems to know what it is, and no one seems to be responding to it. It's been at least 5 minutes.

Kash Patel, Trump's pick to head the FBI, revealed that he previously worked for the Embassy of Qatar. He never registered as a foreign agent. This is a serious national security concern. The Senate Judiciary committee must call him back for further questioning.

Got paid for my work, but never saw the finished product until today.

Responding to spicy suggestions, offers, and requests with wordy disclaimers >>>>

Finding out very quickly how few people are aware that the land sales of waterfront Gaza property already happened last year. People protested the illegal land sales and the media called them antisemitic. This was always the plan, it’s not something that’s new because of trump.

Can't report on citizenship status if we don't collect it 🤷🏾‍♂️

I saw a Black man on FB say that we don't need DEI because we're all equal under the 14th Amendment. OK boss, you got it.

Got all of my garbage to the can before the truck arrived. Hallelujah, I get to live another 2 weeks.

Target went to war with the Proud Boys and Confederates over keeping rainbows on boy's clothing, just to fold their entire DEI department a couple years later.

Joined my local community tool library today!!!

Wild times. Randomly opened a Rolling Stone one summer day and saw my name in it.

Always the best when you make yourself a little vulnerable and people respond by being nice.

I see that users without profile pictures on here are of the same ilk as the egg people on Twitter.
