This one is mind-boggling to me, because the Federation’s economy is canonically socialist.

Love too live in the hell world where incredible ignorance of Nazism is better than the alternative.

I am so glad Saladin Ahmed’s getting more opportunities to write comics. His Black Bolt run was spectacular, he’s killing it with the new Exiles series, Abbott was a hell of a ride, and he’s doing great things with Miles Morales.

What a weird and random happenstance that that critique is lobbed to derail a conversation about missing and murdered indigenous women. Coincidence, I’m sure!

So Nick writes a long, well-sourced piece about murdered and missing indigenous folks, and your reaction is “lol your bosses sold you to some other bosses,” something no writer at GMG has any control over.

Queer as Portland is, and we ain’t got anything this fabulous. Gonna have to take a trip to New Orleans.

That statement from her office... in the words of Eugene Debs, “lmao”

Thanks to that headline, I’m picturing a sci-fi universe in which time travel is invented, and then immediately the inventors are visited by someone from the future telling them, “you need to unionize, you’re about to lose your dental plan!”

This is so absurd. All this is going to do is force folks to go hungry or keep them from making rent because they had the audacity to go to college. The system’s already fucked-up enough.

Aaron Sorkin poisoned the minds of a certain class of young liberal. The kind who now think that “doing politics” means technocrats working in a K-Street-and-West-Wing bubble, where the people actually impacted by the decisions you make are uneducated rabble who deserve nothing but scorn and disdain, and where all it…

I know I’m a broken record saying this, but always remember that the head of PPB’s Drug and Vice Division is a literal Nazi, who was caught putting up shrines to SS soldiers on Powell Butte in his spare time. Those of us who have been protesting in PDX for a while also remember him grinning while spraying our comrades…

Dope that this is the same Brace Belden who went to Rojava to fight alongside Kurdish militias, aka PissPigGrandad.

For liberals, centrists, and mainstream politicos of all stripes who lionize the FBI and are shocked at this news:

Dude, they redeveloped the Villa (not village) years ago. Turned it into New Columbia. Get your racist references straight.

Well, a known literal Nazi is the head of the Portland Police’s Drugs and Vice Division:

This! Jo Ann is an absolute badass, she doesn’t back down when she’s on the right side of justice, and having her on City Council for the 4+ years is going to be one the best things to happen in Portland politics in history - especially since we’re not even 100 years removed from this:

A few years back, I had the good fortune of listening to Desmond give a speech at the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center’s conference (the same one where I first learned that UpWorthy was designed by former Obama staffers to vet viral political messaging).

In Oregon, our state constitution has mandated using prisoners as slave labor since 1994: https://www.oregon.gov/doc/RESRCH/pages/measure_17.aspx

Measure 106 is especially heinous: Oregon is the only state which has passed ZERO restrictions on abortion since Roe v. Wade, and as Frida mentions, we actually expanded access to abortion services through the Reproductive Health Equity Act (which had special provisions to enhance access to reproductive care for…
