The problem with Portland politics is that people treat "politeness" as neutral or even positive, meanwhile I have met some of the most hostile polite people in City Hall. They do a great job speaking in code and hiding behind a smile while systematically pushing policies that actually hurt people.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message:

- a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9
PubliCola confirmed this morning that the city settled with Jaahnavi Kandula's family for $29,011,000. The added $11,000, which the family requested in their lawsuit, is a reference to then-police guild vice president Daniel Auderer's "joke" that Kandula's life was only worth that much.
I like my bookstores independent, my Portland weird, my commas Oxford, and my Supreme Court guided by legal precedent and ethics rather than vibes and emotional support billionaires. @leahlitman.bsky.social

Minneapolis, MN -
Many many more agents filing into the area around the hotel. Minneapolis PD announcing everyone is under arrest, telling them to sit down with their hands up. An ad hoc journalist squad being told to go further down the street. Chemicals irritant deployed in the road.

It is the Anakin and Padme / Amidala meme where he says something and she smiles saying "of course there's " (whatever) and he looks at her and she says it again, realizing her assumption was wrong. anyway, this one goes like this Anakin: We have captured the oil-rich country's brutal dictator to hold him accountable for the crimes with which he is charged. and she is smiling and says You got MBS! Finally, justice for Khashoggi. and he's looking at her and she smiles and turns her head: Oh, you teaser-you're talking about Putin. same image of him just staring at her. slightly confused look from her: Omar al-Bashir? slightly different Anakin, this time looking at her like she's an idiot: "He's been in jail for like six years now." very confused Amidala: Well who else could it be, then? Obviously it's not someone in the Western Hemisphere. Anakin, small grin concerned look Amidala: OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT SOMEONE IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE maniaical smile from anakin, look of fear from her, fin

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social would you say your interview earlier on CNN was an example of resistance against the current administration, or in support of the current administration? I know what I would say, but what do you think?

If you just deposit $10000 dollars in this Nigerian Army Chief’s (also a prince) account, you will be repaid ten times the amount and the insurgents will be (humanely ) crushed, but it must be today.

DHS Secy Noem, in Cabinet meeting, says in Portland she met with the governor, mayor, chief of police, and superintendent of highway patrol: “They are all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people.”

I’m sitting on a plane next to a maga man in a gulf of ‘merica shirt. We are next to the lavatory. I took a liberal shit and flapped the door into our aisle to wave the smell over.
