My AmStaff/pit bull/pug is beloved by me, my son, & 100's of brilliant people in my wonderful NYC hood. Mostly here for smashing imperialism & promoting socialism. Beware vile Project Esther & christofascists (& all of Project 2025). #StopTrump

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.

Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

I am not feeling peaceful about the facism in america, but damn these Portlanders have for real done something amazing and peaceful that i have to admit is teaching and/or reminding me a few things about what makes the evil crumble.
I tip my hat to those giant pranksters.

Born & raised in SE Portland, went to PSU & UofO and add that this is nothing new. From Neighbor Fair to ArtQuake to the Church of Elvis we do our lives as we want, we celebrate diversity, and we don’t care what milquetoast thinks of us. Live on. Resist. Be Weird. #Portland

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.
