Had a blast at Helium comedy club tonight for The Bitchuation Room with Francesca Fiorentini, Matt Lieb, Abby Martin, Mike Figueredo, and Portland City Council member Sameer Kanal. Such a relief to be in a room full of progressives 😭😭❤️ @jimdibartolo.bsky.social

“War-ravaged”!?!?! This is such insane bullshit. That’s what they WANT and are determined to manifest. The only wars in Portland are what the fascists bring 😡

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Hi Congress, how’s it going? What’d you do today? Got any fun impeachments planned or not so much?

I am once again reminding everyone that the President does not get to declare war, that is solely the responsibility of Congress.

Donald Trump and JD Vance are about to open up Iraq War 2.0, and Democratic leadership is just…nowhere to be seen?

The scale of the rally in Portland is MASSIVE. Simultaneously crossing the Morrison and Hawthorne Bridges in one long parade of democracy. Tens of thousands of people. #NoKings

Yes to the Constitution. Yes to immigrants. Yes to rule of law and due process. Yes to human rights and civil rights. No to fascism. No to billionaires. No to ICE. No to kleptocracy. NO KINGS IN AMERICA.

Do you think the thorough education @dieworkwear.bsky.social gives this guy got through? I have such low faith in people’s abilities to learn and change their minds, but this is *chef’s kiss*

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

A win! The bill: “Prohibits discrimination when selecting or retaining school library materials, textbooks or instructional materials or when developing and implementing a curriculum.” Good job, Oregon! 🙌🏼

The best part of any festival is, of course, the readers—and the other authors!—and it was so cool to meet French fantasy readers and French fantasy authors at Echos & Merveilles ❤️ (Everyone is linked at my IG if you want to find them :)

The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.

“Be an optimist, read the imaginary.” Good advice from a French bookshop window 👍🏻👍🏻

We just happened to stay in our seats but the rest of the theater left! Maybe Marvel movies trained us? Absolutely loved it, wish we could’ve seen it in the optimal screen/film combo but Portland doesn’t have that technology…
