For the record, I would do PBP for the Blazers and I’m pretty cheap

Kate Jackson@katejackson.bsky.social · 2w agoOne thing about being a business law professor with a PhD in political theory during These Times (tm) is that once you realize that Silicon Valley has become a vanguardist (fascist) political project, you see its fingerprints *everywhere.* From dual class shareholding to repealing 14a-8, from

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2w agoThe lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.
ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.

Ed Markey@edmarkey.bsky.social · 4w agoIn Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

Portland lit the Morrison Bridge pink in honor of Dolly Parton. 💗
The Clinton Street Theater in Portland has been showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show weekly since 1978. Tonight, the theater held a special memorial for Tim Curry.
Just saw Facebook antivaxxers speculating that 80-year-old Dolly Parton’s death was hastened by the COVID vaccine she helped fund the development of and received—half a decade ago—and am thinking about how the past decade spent catering to these people has been nothing but a waste of time.

These posts from America First Policy Institute show that Enes Kanter Freedom not only colluded with the Trump grift on his WNBA stunt but is also on the take from MAGA. He's literally the paid protester Republicans scream about. (h/t @timmiller.bsky.social for pointing this out on his shows)

I remember the first time I opened a tab at a bar. For a long time I wondered how they could keep track of my tab and everyone else’s, especially in a club setting. But its been over a decade now, and Ive been incorrectly charged, maybe once?? anyways, bartenders should run the banks
every time i see these posts i think its a psyop you cannot open threads and scroll 5 posts without suffering a brain injury. nobody online or irl you ever talk to uses it. they are tricking insta users into clicking on threads links and generating profiles for everyone, that's it
