Drazan, i know you’re reading this, so i want you to know you’re a disgrace and should drop out of the race immediately. you have no honor and every Portlander thinks you’re a hateful MAGA transphobe who should slink away from public life forever.

Yes, the president leaked Tom Cotton's cell phone number, but you should not sign Tom Cotton up for Act Blue donation requests or testosterone pill scams or other things like that, because that would be very funny.

“You couldn’t pay me enough money to back Donald Trump or anybody that backs him,” said Alexis Price, 42, a travel adviser in Kansas City who said she does not align with either party. “I think what the Republican Party and a lot of the Republican nominees are doing is disgraceful and disgusting.”

Dignity Village in Portland, Oregon, is the longest running experiment in what happens when the structure of an encampment gives way to a more permanent community, with dozens of residents, all previously homeless, managing the space on their own. nyti.ms/3Vh08Rd

Great responses to this, & for someone like me, who isn’t a programmer or engineer & basically just uses apps, easy to understand The “down the middle” case was most persuasive; very useful for some important stuff, but nowhere near as transformative as some proselytizers claim, & it’s a bubble

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

77 million Americans voted for national suicide in 2024. We're seeing it unfold right now: The economy vandalized, the military weakened, politicians bribed, tech run wild, immigrants terrorized, and government goon squads committing murder. Vote against all Republicans. It could be our last chance.
