I do comms & advocacy in OR. I make art, jokes, & political commentary. I like peer reviewed articles, sci-fi, pop & raging against the fascist machine. I think about the question “What keeps us safe?” Dreaming of what could be. Views my own.

Hakeem Jeffries, trying to read the room at a child's birthday party: They don't want cake. The kids want broccoli.
Screw a policy memo… look at this delicious breakfast sandwich I made.
From a Congressperson intern: Call your reps to demand replacing Schumer and Jeffries. She said that this issue is more movable as it’s not as tied to donors an issue like stopping military aid to Israel example. Their donors may be all over the place w/ their support for the speakers. BOOT ‘EM.
Just like Senator Bernie Sanders, I too have been massively fumbled and taken for granted
James Talarico used to text me constantly, but now that he's gotten what he wanted from me I haven't heard from him all day. Fuckboy behavior tbh
Holding people accountable to the constitution and the law is not retribution, it’s the law It’s time we started using it for people who think it doesn’t apply to them

Can someone turn this into a policy memo: Law enforcement stop looking through our phones I don’t like it
Upon landing at JFK from my flight back from Palestine-Israel I was immediately detained by Border Patrol, seized and searched my phone, and questioned about political relationships for an hour.
Underrated that the 13 colonies voted Dem this cycle lol
Ok now, I am spiritually throwing up Blue Tsunami gatorade after chugging it
Here's the horrifying chart that I referenced in my testimony on banning teargas in PDX. U.S. police rank 3rd in the world compared to country's military spending. So police here, are the third largest military in the world. + They spend $ on military toys like teargas. @stephensemler.bsky.social

The 800 City of Portland professional workers have taken hit after hit this year: budget cuts, core realignment, & wages that don't keep up. They are the analysts, coordinators, victim advocates, emergency management staff, & the people who run payroll for the rest of the City! They need our help!
Sarahyperbole@necessarah.bsky.social · yesterdayCPPW - city of Portland professional workers. Call 503-823-4120, press 5. It’s really silly to have to tell the mayor that the people that take care of our city deserve raises so they live here, but it must be done
Aw man, what do you mean I can't just stay libbing out, high on the blue wave, and I have to WORK for our goals? PlzZzzzZ I want to drink blue tsunami gatoradeee
