here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

It is in fact racist to call an Arab with views you disagree with an antisemite. I know this will be a surprise to many but unless that person is actually saying something antisemitic, the Arab is not genetically predisposed to antisemitism

Think about how many times you’ve read “in case of emergency take stairs.” That is a metaphor for how disabled people are treated in an emergency. Often even the advice disabled folks get (“have a 3 month supply of all medications!”) isn’t even possible. It’s beyond time to do better.

As wildfires spur thousands of evacuations across small cities and rural areas of Oregon, disability rights advocates are alleging in a lawsuit that Portland and Multnomah County are not prepared to help people with disabilities during a disaster.

On July 25, 2026, a witness filmed a heroic water rescue on Seabright Beach, Santa Cruz. The man who recorded the video said he watched a 16 y/o lifeguard rush into the water and held onto a 10 y/o boy and began pulling him back to shore while being continually battered by the surf. 1/3

I opted for the more polite version of this post. It is genuinely gratifying to see that the hatred to the police that was reinforced by 2020 has not faded in Portlanders. One of the best things about this city is that you can go days at a time without seeing cops. www.wweek.com/news/city/20...
