Does Trump really think Putin is going to allow two dictators?

NIMBY anti-housing grumps are flooding the public testimony complaining that they don't want more neighbors. got sixty seconds to submit a comment in support of building more housing in portland's most desirable, amenity-rich neighborhoods? PNW's got a testimony form below: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Boycott Amazon from March 7-14. No Whole Foods. No Prime. No audible. #resist

What a shame. Now we have US tax payers propping up cryptocurrencies. This is one of the biggest grifts of all time. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru....

Great turnout at the 50501 protest in Irvine! Was awesome to meet everyone, and the energy was palpable. Consider finding one in your area, because we’re just getting started.

The last time Missouri took control of St. Louis’ police force, the Civil War was underway and the state’s secessionist-leaning leaders were trying to protect slavery and prevent officers from taking up arms against the Confederacy. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

When you think of Nazi Germany the good Germans that didn’t vote for Hitler aren’t the first to come up in your heads. The same goes for the US or Russia. Don’t want to be represented by evil? This is your turn to show what you would have done under Nazi rule.

Trump and Musk are doing a $350 billion pump and dump with your tax money. Trump’s “Crypto Reserve” is a money laundering scheme and you are being robbed blind.

Huge turnout at #teslatakedown protest today. Lots of folks showed up by bike, after meeting up beforehand to make signs. Elianna Gnoffo grabbed this footage for us.

You could write a whole dissertation about this photo capturing the mess that America is in right now

man oatmeal is filling. good job on that one, earth.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Shitbag Oregon republicans introduced a Senate bill to repeal rent limits. Senate Bill 496. Ughhhhhh.

holy crap www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

ok but vance has dreamed of being on this couch 💦

I love cycling but I'm aware that it could result in my violent death or getting seriously injured. Not because cycling is dangerous but because we prioritise the convenience of car drivers over the safety of everyone else. I wish it wasn't like this.

what if we just kept doing the boycott every Friday then?

This moment is going in the history books as the moment the US became irrelevant as a global power and ushered in the start of world war 3. Zelenskyy exposed the traitors.

"You hurt more people than I've ever seen in my political life, and you never speak about it." -Sen. Tony Bisignano, Iowa State Senator, noting that while ripping rights away from transgender Iowans the Republicans were virtually silent the whole time.

I swear to god they're trying to get us pitchfork angry.

"Portland’s elected watchdog is pushing to upend significant portions of the city’s pioneering campaign finance law, alarming advocates who have worked to curb the influence of money in politics." 87% of voters approved the measure in 2018. More. 👇 www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

i’m never going to see any of the money i’ve had taken from my paychecks for 25 years

Really think we should be calling this economic blackout of our corporate overlords "Not Buying Your Bullshit"...

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Some stellar reporting here...

Data from 12 cities shows building protected bike lanes improves road safety. Data came from 2000-2012 & included PDX. Sadly, 2012 was also the pinnacle of PDX biking. In 2015 PDX bike commute rate was 7%. 37 people died from traffic violence. In 2023 bike commute rate was 1.1% and 74 people died

Welp. Cancelled my WaPo subscription. Their slogan seems so crazy too, all things considered.

Some House Republicans claim that their budget cuts won’t affect Medicaid, but are wrong. There is no way to come up with the billions of dollars of cuts they demand without decimating Medicaid, SNAP, Pell Grants, and other vital programs.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

How do we feel about this? Is this good or are we pissed? Seems good? www.oregonlive.com/environment/...

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

A law firm representing Elon Musk and Tesla has drafted a bill that would overhaul Delaware corporate law specifically to let Musk collect a compensation plan of up to $55.8 billion. The bill has now been introduced in the Delaware General Assembly. www.jalopnik.com/1794019/musk...

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵

absolute crickets, other than an occasional "nothing to see here, we think we're still gonna get it" (based on nothing). we assume ODOT's plan is to ask Oregon to backfill the $450m RCN grant to build "phase 1", leaving the good cap components in a never-to-be-funded, someday later "phase 2" #orleg

“U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of the federal workforce”

"I am preparing this declaration to ensure that the Court is aware of the imminent risk that twelve years’ of critical CFPB records, which belong to the public, will be irretrievably lost and cause serious and sweeping damage unless the Court takes action."

1. OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an email obtained by Popular Information. The email says the publications have been removed from the web and tells staff that physical copies should be "disposed of or recycled"

Upcoming US protests. #3E #USprotests

Huge thanks to Washington and Columbia Counties for the big turnout at yesterday’s town halls in Hillsboro and Scappoose. Oregonians are outraged about the Trump administration’s lawlessness. I appreciated each question about what it means and how we fight back.

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed, marking the legal end to Jim Crow in the USA. Its Title VI banned discrimination by race among any institution that receives Federal funds. On Friday, the Acting head of the Ed Dept sent out this letter to all 50 states: www.ed.gov/media/docume...

"taxpayers who have had their information wrongfully disclosed or even inspected are entitled by law to monetary damages" Let's file a class action lawsuit NOW. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused.  NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man. YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.

At least 60 people protesting outside of the Tesla dealership in Seattle today. You love to see it. ✊🏻 Cc @evansutton.bsky.social @robertcruickshank.com @alexwinter.com
