In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

60 Minutes Epstein Banking Story Vanished After CBS Ousted Sharyn Alfonsi, Dem Senator Reveals

Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

Five months ago, I filed a Freedom of Information Act Request for papers seized from children at the Dilley ICE Detention Center. Today, I got a heartbreaking response.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

This is the same anger I get when I post the votes for policies (public info but hard for people to find on government sites) Like babes…I can defend all my votes. Can you?

The police union and ruling class think it’s cheating to give the public information about to how file a complaint if they were misled by a signature gatherer lol www.opb.org/article/2026...

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

I wonder if the Blazers understand how insane it sounds that they’re worried the Moda renovation plans could hurt them in a lawsuit. If they actually maintained Moda in first-class condition, they shouldn’t have much to worry about. The Oregonian Ed. Board didn’t wanna dive into that I guess.

Kevin Foster@kevinhfoster.bsky.social · 3d ago

The Oregonian Editorial Board must be choking on Tom Dundon’s boot. A senile and one-sided analysis of the Moda Center work session, lambasting council for moderate pushback while basically writing off the Blazers’ request to post-hoc edit a lease agreement.

my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop

"this is a successful blockbuster that has helped ignite an admirable interest in the classics, but as an expert I personally would have been ashamed to write it and couldn't fully enjoy it" is not the unhinged rant some people accused it of being

A very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!" I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment! So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.

Lucas Tieman@lucastieman.bsky.social · 6d ago

There would be more pushback if folks left of center were more serious about outreach. But folks aren't despite the fact that our system does give disproportionate power to rural areas. But instead of taking that as the rules of the game as it exists, and actually organizing, we complain about it.

Entry points will be managed by a leather femme collective. Now it's important to note that while the masochist electricians will be unionized city employees, the security team will be contracted. Their business is keeping us safe, it's not our business how the bloodsisters police themselves.

Bulldoze the arena and turn it into a public sex forest.

Portland Trail Blazers officials told city councilors the city needs to do more than just help fund a renovation of the Moda Center if it wants to assure the Blazers’ long-term presence in Oregon.

I have long suspected that the fact that Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner were both people that existed at the same time and fell in love only to have her tragically taken away from this earth so soon after they married, is proof that God exists and that he is a huge dick.

imo the ideal Odysseus would've been Gene Wilder, but we would never have deserved that movie.

If you are a conservative and want to salvage something of that ideology, you must also support the eradication of the Republican Party and American Conservatism as if presently exists. They are the enemy of small government, human liberty, peace and thriving.
