The Cracking is always Downward with these ghouls. "Let's punish the people with the least power in this situation." We don't even know how the fire started yet. No thought of Cracking Upward on the real estate speculators who own these dangerous buildings (who are the real victims, I guess).
Some really questionable calls from the officials in this 🔥 Fire game
There were a lot of Clark fans at the game. Has she come out against transphobia? Hate has no place in our beautiful town
OK, so there are a surprising number of Indiana fans at this game... that explains the surprising turnout at the pre-game transphobe rally. If you're well-off and bored enough to follow a basketball team around, you're basically primed for this bullshit.
I swear if they gave the ball to Carleton more we’d be winning now 🔥
And here we are, a sold out 🔥game, fans already on their feet. There’s nothing wrong with this arena, this team, this town ❤️ We don’t need any trashy billionaires
I’m at the just-fine Moda Center again and there are so many 🔥 Fire fans wanting to support the local economy that all the concession lines are really long. But tell me more about how Portland can’t draw enough fans
Abolishing prisons in a country with a mass incarceration and enslavement problem is common sense.
The GOP is acting like the most extreme DSA positions like abolishing prisons are mainstream Democratic policies when they themselves run away from the most extreme GOP positions like they’re the plague.
One day and I've already had at least a half dozen earnest and personal texts from Troy Jackson
Hanging out in the bar line with @mikematronephd.bsky.social at @mitchgreen.bsky.social’s campaign kickoff party! Who else is here?
I hate billionaires. But Bezos could begin redemption by following his investment in The Expanse with bringing us a similarly high quality series version of @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social's Astra Black trilogy. And then proceeding with funding reparations. Savoring "A City of Dreams" while it lasts 🥰
the strategy is becoming more clear ...
“It was a really disappointing offer that was not hard at all to turn thumbs down on and realize that there was not much seriousness on the other end to get a deal done,” Calabro said, “which is fine if you want to end the relationship. Well, that’s one way to do it, I suppose.” 🧐
Oh look another super exciting Fire 🔥 game in the still-just-fine Moda Center. Best fans, best team, no asshole billionaire
Portland Fire games are like the 2020’s version of 1980’s women’s music festivals only better

1/ The Trail Blazers' board meets today to answer Portland's term sheet. Before they do: in the last 72 hours, every story used to pressure Portland has collapsed - this morning by the NBA's national press. The receipts. 🧵 www.nytimes.com/athletic/745...
Hands off PCEF! PCEF is for people, not billionaires or cops 💥
The Portland Clean Energy Fund continues to make meaningful, tangible investments in our community that make our city healthier, more climate resilient, and more equitable. It's time to tell the Blazers and cops: hands off PCEF. https://loom.ly/Vj3mblM

Huge investigation out today helmed by @rebleber.bsky.social and @rebeccajohn.bsky.social revealing just how long ago industry knew gas would destroy the climate -- with tons of new details showing how they hid the facts and worked to promote gas as "clean." 👏👏
A relative in Boston just reported a frog falling from a tree onto their foot. So for those keeping track at home: 1. The skies have turned yellow and the air is dangerous to breathe 2. The sun burns red overhead all day 3. The lettuce (maybe?) causes gushing of the bowels 4. It's raining frogs
