Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 19hThis only works if the other party you’re dealing with is also taking you seriously. And that’s sort of the problem the country has been having for several decades on the national, political level. It forces a major reset like the New Deal to undo the harms of 🤫🤞 lunch chats. I pity the fool. 010
Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This also has Dorsey’s fingerprints all over it. As an addict in recovery, he should be more understanding and yet he’s become addicted to his cop persona. 000

Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Eh. It will be closer than it should be, but Republican branding is toxic right now. Even bright red states are possibly flipping state-level elections. That said, Oregon deserves better than Kotek. 030
Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Wage theft continuing unabated as the largest crime in America. These settlements are drops in the bucket. Happy about the outcome but it won’t deter them from finding creative ways to continue to steal from workers in the future. 030

Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Were they also being flirty and wearing revealing clothing? 🙄 I hate this “if they weren’t drunk it wouldn’t have happened” framing. People should be free to be intoxicated without fear of assault. The problem wasn’t the intoxication. 060

Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Democrats aren’t good at making noise & displaying their solidarity to their voters the way Republicans are. Both when they’re out of power & in. They have weaker branding & that’s a problem. Policy? Of course. Marketing? Yes on that too. Be loud, wave blue victory flags on the wins. No GOP credit. 020
Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 01/10/2026We also needs laws that say you can’t redirect water away from human beings towards big business (agriculture, data centers, etc) in drought conditions. Our number one priority should be preserving life and not profits. 030
Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Just tax billionaires already before we need to create safety nets for everyone but the billionaires. A safety net paid for mostly but those in the nets. 000
Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It’s everywhere. Politicians are afraid of local LE & we need to understand why. Threats? Political fallout? Fear of a crime wave? Step 1 is why. Step 2 is a solve. Step 3 is complete reform of local public safety. 000

Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 01/10/2026That side is wildly inept because they’re so used to a rigged system in Portland. For the first time in a long while there’s accountability & an opposition. Love to see them flounder. 020

Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Pretty telling that not one person or entity had a comment on this.

Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 29/09/2026In my adult years meeting and dating other women, similar stories are everywhere. Rape & sexual assaults are rampant. Accountability for the crimes are a blip on the radar. Larger society is not taking this seriously. To the brave humans who do speak out, you’re heroes. We have a lot of work to do. 030
Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 29/09/2026for raping students when he became a teacher too. When I was in college, I went to just a few parties, some at frats, some at friends’ houses. On multiple occasions I had to stop men from taking advantage of drunk or passed out women. If I wasn’t there to stop it, I know what would have happened. 130
Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Most of the school took the “cool teacher’s” side & called the victim a “lying slut.” She dropped out. In my adult years, I would learn that teacher and 3 other male “cool teachers” had parties with the kids & had sex with them. One of my male classmates who went to those parties is now in prison… 130
Gene Okerlund @malort.bsky.social · 29/09/2026In pre-pubescence my mom told me to never let anyone, not even people I trusted, touch my privates. At around 10 or 11 an older boy invited to his house to watch a movie. He tried to rape me & I got away & never told anyone. In middle school a classmate told people a gym teacher had raped her. 140
