Portland is iffy. Right now 4/12 city councillors are DSA members, but by no means revolutionary in their politics. They are slightly better than average libs. Portland's DA was a progressive but got turfed out for a Republican "tough on crime" guy. Former progressive city council members have been literally framed by the police or just faced massive smear campaigns. The mayor is a trucking company CEO who's trying to give extra money to the shitty police department that they didn't even ask for while at the same time cutting the parks budget.

Well he's giving them an opportunity to do what they've always wanted to do: wanton violence against a less-equipped informal force composed largely of brown people?

Would be cool if other countries started doing the "Trump always chickens out" thing, but to pressure them to do good stuff instead of crashing the economy or bombing Iran.

I'm pretty sure "-ai" does the same without fucking up your results otherwise.

Truly embarrassing how far we've fallen as a capitalist society when the richest man in the world cannot enact his will effortlessly.

But I've been told that Israelis live in constant fear of rocket attacks! It seems like that would be a bad place for one's mental health!
