Realist in *that* Portland trying to keep up with the current shitstorm. Supervised by a hummingbird. Picky eater finally learning to cook. Unexpected Portland Fire fan. Other stuff. 🐸 #VoteBlue
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5h agoMaybe it's my imagination, but the fall colors around Portland have been even more stunning than usual this year. 🍂🍁

I wrote this thread earlier for two reasons: 1. To put this win into context so we remind ourselves to celebrate the fruits of our labor. 2. To remind us that no matter how hopeless things seem - and Nov 2024 was the epitome of hopelessness - there is a path out of the darkness.
TrumpsTaxes@trumpstaxes.com · 14h agoHOW WE GOT HERE - A Thread I’d like everyone to remember how we arrived at this moment in history. Yes, the lies, incompetence and corruption of Trump and his Republican enablers smoothed our path to victory. But we would not have celebrated as many wins without our hard work and perseverance.
We all know there have been changes to the USPS, but today I received a marketing mailer from a local credit union that says... "Postmaster please mail by:" ... 10/28. "Time Sensitive". Let this be a warning for sending your holiday season stuff.
Went to bed Tuesday night as the blue tsunami was happening and woke up Wednesday morning to Christmas season. Besides local businesses with Christmas lights up, just saw a decorated car driving down the street and a light shaped tree in someone's livingroom. It feels like hope out there! 🎄
So Donald Trump offered the press secretary job to the *wrong* Dana White. And announced it *before* he had gotten the wrong Dana White to accept. Just breathtaking incompetence!
Good. Portland, our White Stag sign is back to what it should be.
KOIN 6 News@koin6.bsky.social · 10h agoThe Trail Blazers player is no longer dunking on the White Stag sign in Portland. Here's why.
Open Enrollment: It appears hearing aid coverage will disappear next year from my plan? If this could affect you or your dependents, confirm it asap and plan accordingly. I coincidentally am picking up a new pair next week but even then, they're barely covered now. 🦻
Amen to all of this, but especially the bragging part. The New Deal was constantly advertising itself and the Great Society too. Take a lesson from them -- you can't just do good things and expect voters to notice. You've got to brag about what you've done. A lot.
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 13h agoI suspect the real place for Democrats to solidify this win will be at the state and local level. That's where Ds have the chance of IMMEDIATELY making change and helping people in their everyday lives. Push your local pols to Mamdanify the shit out of the entire country, y'all. And BRAG about it.
Obama at a conference I attended just before the COVID lockdown. Him: As a leader, surround yourself with the best people you can find. I've thought of that every day the last 2 years.
FOX 12 Oregon@fox12oregon.bsky.social · 13h agoTrump offers UFC chief Dana White press secretary job
At the rate Trump is insane-posting, we're going to get a Truth Social post at 2 am announcing that he has asked Mayor McCheese to replace Marco Rubio as Secretary of State
Found more voter fraud. Republican Party official Aidan Rowan was arrested and now faces felony charges in New York for allegedly forging ballot applications on behalf of three people and submitting a forged ballot for a fourth. dailyvoice.com/article/aida...
I would have bet any amount of money that this was fake. What the actual fuck is wrong with the president?
Not called out here, but the latest sunrise in Portland would be 8:51 a.m. if we move to permanent daylight saving time. Don't know about you, but I think that would suck much more than changing clocks twice a year.

Last year, Hegseth abruptly removed Nancy Lacore from command. No public explanation was provided. Afterwards, she ran for office and has flipped a seat in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. She will now have the constitutional authority to investigate and oversee his department.
Wow and 👏!! This 🧵 is about doing the right thing and not giving up. Ellie Mae was on to Russell Brand more than a decade ago and she can now forever say she made a difference.
Ellie Mae O'Hagan@elliemaeohagan.bsky.social · 2d agoLet me tell you about Russell Brand, as someone who helped the journalists who eventually exposed him. In 2013/4, Brand started to become interested in progressive politics. He said progressive things publicly, went on Newsnight etc. At the time I was involved in progressive grassroots work myself.
ICYMI... Angry's AMA tonight was ... Ohmmm ... 🌊🙏
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · yesterdayThank goodness indeed. We needed a win after these last two years. Anyone else feel like they can breathe again? if not, you should start to. The amount of fuckery we just undid in a single election is incredible. Still work to do, but we’re going to be OK.
I'm tellin' ya, don't piss off Oregon Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici.
Suzanne Bonamici@repbonamici.bsky.social · yesterdayThe new White House Chief of staff is Stephen Miller? Outrageous. He’s a white nationalist who has already pushed regressive, dangerous, and harmful policies. 🧵
He’s never been in my house. He’ll never be in my house. Thank you for your attention to the matter of my house.
