Yeah the Timbers were ass and a half tonight, but man this moment was too cool. An 18-year-old Homegrown midfielder, thrust into his Timbers debut in such tough conditions, uncorking an absolute belter to become the youngest goalscorer in Timbers history. Have a celly, kid. #RCTID
The federal government is lying as it continues to weaken the First Amendment.
We must name this to face it. It's not immigration enforcement - it's authoritarian repression.
People used to joke about how big of a change it was to change from Ayatollah Khomeini to Ayatollah Khamenei.
What about going through all of this, including killing 100+ Iranian schoolgirls, to change from Ayatollah Khamenei to... Ayatollah Khamenei?
the idea that bombing and invading a country with a bad record on human rights is likely to lead to a situation with better human rights is pretty well debunked to the degree that it's a laughable proposition and yet I see it non stop on mainstream news like it will definitely happen
Dealing with some chronic pain today so don’t have capacity to put together an eloquent response but every day I wish my tax dollars weren’t being used to bomb kids abroad. That’s all I want. And whether it’s been Democrats or Republicans in power, most of them seem to want war above all else.
Donald Trump, alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, has launched a dangerous and illegal war that will put working people here at home and across the world in grave danger.
Times like these I’m so glad Merrick Garland stuck to “norms” & refused to prosecute Trump for his many crimes. Because yes—while we are facing the very real threat of global nuclear war—at least we don’t have the shame of a former president sitting in prison. Boy would that’ve been embarrassing.
No war with Iran!
War is not a negotiating tactic. It is a human tragedy.
I do not support military escalation or bombing campaigns. I do not support expanding another conflict in the Middle East.
Civilians pay the price.
Diplomacy and de-escalation are the ONLY responsible path.
#NoWar

The trash that occupies the White House (and any legislator failing to act to stop him) is bombing children in Iran. This is intolerable. The time for mass mobilization is now. Join an org, get into the streets, contact your reps. No war on Iran.
Life on Earth is about to get harder.
Yes, it’s already been hard. But we’re entering a darker period.
That doesn’t mean we stop fighting for justice. It means we protect our energy, stay grounded, and hold each other tight.
We will need each other.
I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

... towards killing & away from feeding the hungry & housing the homeless.
When aging infrastructure fails, it's in part because the feds wasted money killing brown people again.
We've seen this before - like when Bush made up justifications to attack Iraq, disastrously.
This is an outrage.

Like millions of Americans, I woke up today to the news of another illegal war in the Middle East.
Another choice made in DC that will kill hundreds & likely thousands abroad, & provoke retaliation against American travelers & military bases.
And yet another diversion of American money ...

Little known fact: Mitch Green is a D2 kid, a true NE original before becoming the Westside Whiz (and Superstar of Sellwood).
Had them a while back with a coworker, they're solid.
Loved it, the Sunday Sauce itself is exactly what I hoped it'd be.
Always happy to have you in D2!
Shout out to Sad Valley for drinks while you wait for a Sunday Sauce table.

The evidence for just ensuring, financially, the wellbeing of new mothers and newborns is increasing.
Glad to see this coming to Multnomah County.
Hey Portland! The richest few people in the state (some of them don't even go here) are still itching to evade taxation by destroying Preschool for All. Our electeds KNOW that P4A is good public policy, but politicians still need reminders to be brave. Sign here!! actionnetwork.org/petitions/fu...
FINAL | 🟢POR 3-2 CLB🟡
In the 250th MLS match at Providence Park the Timbers take all three points courtesy of Ari Lassiter’s 88th winner.
Portland is unbeaten in 6 straight over Columbus. Great start to the season #RCTID
Packed house, 4 first-half goals, loud crowd - MLS is back, and I'm back at Providence Park! #RCTID
Reading this story—about how the Pentagon has been given so much extra money it's struggling to spend it all—while thinking about the formerly homeless tenants I've spoken with in recent weeks whose housing vouchers are being discontinued for "lack of funds."
How would you bring the prices down enough that kids can afford that?
Remind me who the rioters are again?
Electeds, police chiefs, etc need to stop taking DHS at their word.
They lie!!
@blazersedge.bsky.social sends kids to often their first Blazers game by, once a year, doing Blazers Edge night and getting a lot of tickets for kids.
You can donate a ticket for as little as $13, and they could use the help!
Deep class of finalists this year, but Buck Williams is a legend and deserves the Hall's recognition.
