Aside from the tone-deafness of these priorities, the "business taxes have increased by an astonishing 81%" is a textbook case of lying with statistics. Let's look at the likely source for this claim: an EY report commisioned by Oregon Business & Industry: oregonbusinessindustry.com/wp-content/u...

anyway, today I did chalk stuff for @jsalfororegon.bsky.social's primary campaign to replace Rep. Maxine Dexter in congress.
D'you guys know about Jessica Salas and her bold campaign to replace Dexter — an AIPAC and corporate lackey establishment democrat — with someone who reflects Oregon values?

There is a point when you have to acknowledge that no system is going to save us and that the people in charge are doing this intentionally and gleefully. There is a point you have to accept that resistance is mandatory and that the constraints of peaceful only serves those in power.

I want to emphasize that at this time the unconfirmed reports that President Trump has both arms stuck "elbow deep" in the airplane toilet are just that. We will be monitoring this story. Please be responsible about spreading news that both his arms are "as far as they can go" into the toilet hole.

At this point genuinely curious which local PDX politicians are still on X and why
Last year, we made the decision to step away from X.
The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour.
In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

Look, I know there's a lot going on in America right now, but can we all take a moment to acknowledge how annoying it is when two of your favorite podcasts become targets for the same media tours? Fuck I don't care about Sarah Sherman enough to listen to two hours of her interviews with white guys.

I’m into the recent trend of states updating their flags to designs that aren’t objective horseshit.
Utah had a strong glow up. Their old flag is a hack job.You know what doesn’t exude confidence? A flag that’s got two other tiny flags on it.
What does a good flag need? Bees and self-confidence.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

On one hand, I think we should teach robots fear with a boot. On the other hand, is it okay to kick something that's just a little guy? Years of sci-fi has left me with a soft spot for our mechanical brethren.

Phil Knight hasn't exactly been quiet about who he is, but seems to have gotten a pass in Oregon. Supporting Republicans at this stage is looking around and saying, "more of this please."
Yeah not cool at all. Says a lot about him.
