Happy 4th birthday to the best dog friend this human could ever ask for.

@HeleneUntamed Why do you feel the need to put so much pointless negativity out in the world?

@itsme_urstruly Her name is Felisa Pozas.

@chicathechih Sending all my positive thoughts your way. <3

Please send positive vibes to chica. The dad came home for lunch and she wasn’t acting like chica. He took her to the vet and will know more later. #PrayersforChica #Dog #Dogs #DogsofTwitter #X #pets #family #TaterTotSquad #ZSHQ #Theruffriderz

@GovTinaKotek Thank you for standing with us.

My office is reaching out to the White House and Homeland Security for more information. We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission. There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm.

@kpottermn I'm simply no longer flying in the US. No air traffic control, no dependable maintenance, no personal space, no public health, fees for everything, no service, no comfort, no food, no human rights...no customers.

NEW: It's not just Delta. All three of the nation's largest airlines are charging some solo passengers higher fares than groups of two or more - sometimes significantly higher.

@PodLegged <3

I am not going to be able to respond to everyone I’m afraid and I’m sorry 😢 I loved that boy so much and gave him the best life possible. I’m so sorry if I don’t respond, but after losing my mum and now pod, my mental health has to be my priority. #ineedtogrieve

@KOINNews Ew, no.

Major League Baseball is one step closer to sliding home in Portland. koin.com/sports/portlan…

@KOINNews Absolutely not. It's one of the many great things about this state.

@AP Good.

@servicerotties My heart is broken for you. It's good you were with him. My heart and thoughts are with you.

Admin post: 💔 I'm struggling to put this in words. This evening, Kuno passed away. A day after his 8th birthday. He had fluid in his abdomen and was becoming septic. They did all sorts of diagnostics. The only possible treatment course would have been very invasive and had a low survival rate, especially in older dogs. The post-operative recovery would be very long and really hard on him, and that was if he could recover from the infection. He'd need feeding tubes the first while, and it's quite likely there would be permanent organ damage. If he survived, it would be highly unlikely he'd be a healthy dog. I chose not to put him through all that, and he was humanely euthanized. I sat with him, but I couldn't reach him when he was lying down, but his HumanFriend (Pistols dad) sat on the floor with him. He passed away peacefully. They also found a tumor on his spleen. Although it likely had nothing to do with this particular incident, they'd have taken the spleen as well to send to histology. I'm sure some of you have questions. They need to wait. Right now my heart hurts, but it also really hasn't hit me yet. I did expect this. He was fine. And now he's gone. He was what made my world good. He inspired me, and he made me push myself to get out in the world. He loved me when I resented my own limitations. He made so many things become possible. I'll do a better post later. Right now I'm tired and my head hurts from so much crying. I'm hoping when I wake up in the morning this will have all been a bad dream. But I know many of you care and were worried. I wanted to let you know. 💔

@Logically_JC No.

@MissyBBBobtail My pup's greenie grin.

Let’s try to lighten things up a bit. Let’s see a funny picture of your cat, pup, or anything at all. My favorite Missy photo ever called “Why is my breakfast 2 minutes late.”

I was a good patient, and answered for my hepatologist, so now I get to add a third immunosuppressant to my regimen to see if it can keep my liver from failing. This week just keeps getting better.

I don't really have much capacity to be here, but Nancy Pelosi is dead to me. We will not have her back next time.

@selinawangtv Oh, fuck her.

Nancy Pelosi to the NYT:  “had the president [Biden] gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race.”   “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary. “ “And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward. But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen. We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different”

@MissesDread Touche. If you end up wanting someone to meet for a coffee and a smoke or something, I'm in inner NE. And no worries, it's been rough watching it change.

@saor_chroi Yes, at the moment. Takin care of some business and gettin back out ASAP. And you know, no offense. I love this place. That's why it's sad to see it lookin kinda raggedy.

Update from your friendly roving reporter: Portland is lookin kinda sad, I'm sorry to say. I lived here from 2005-2017. I lived in Eugene for a long time before that. I miss the rest of Oregon sometimes, but I'm sure glad I didn't stay in this place.

@kilday_morgan Already did.

Who else is getting a gun?
