@Bearskinman @KimRice28 @TinaKotek Communists like Tina always target farmers because they have the means to be self sufficient unlike the people in cities who can be easily controlled

@TinaKotek If there wasn't a constant attack on local producers, tariffs would have little to no effect on food prices. with the exception of imports. Instead you treat farmers and ranchers like the enemy.

Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs on groceries, medications, and everyday essentials. Businesses need predictable conditions to succeed, not chaos from D.C. I’m working hard to protect Oregon’s economy. Let’s keep pushing back together.

@shagbark_hick This is 100% correct. You could fill a book with explanations as to why this is the case, but it wouldn’t change anything

In the future, there are two choices: 1. Poor, lonely, and owning massive amounts of land in the boondocks 2. Poor, lonely, and owning nothing in megacities Take your pick.

@MythoAmerica A once beautiful city now filled with insufferable interlopers

@unlimited_ls A non obese woman in rural Illinois you knew there had to be a catch

@sarayahaley @RealCalebKitson They can be very affectionate though

@LocalRoastingCo @RealCalebKitson It is. Having a conversation in the yard is impossible now. Because the geese talk over everyone and make it all about them

Backyard chickens require insane amounts of inputs that you aren't going to be able to sustain in a food chain collapse. Want real backyard food security? Plant every square foot with POTATOES. PLANT POTATOES ON YOUR ROOF, IN YOUR LOCAL PARK, ON NEARBY STATE LAND, DOWN BY THE RAILROAD TRACKS, IN THE BAYOU, AT GRANDPA'S HOUSE, IN YOUR FRONT YARD, ON THE ESGES OF YOUR DRIVEWAY, ON THE HIGHWAY MEDIANS, AT YOUR KID'S SCHOOL, AT THE LOCAL POND, IN THE HOTEL PLANTERS DOWNTOWN, IN YOUR SUNROOM

@sarayahaley @RealCalebKitson It’s true. Sometimes when I have visitors I have to go into aggressive goose posture and tell them to calm down.

@sarayahaley @RealCalebKitson Their orneriness is really part of their charm

@LocalRoastingCo @RealCalebKitson My angry girls will always let you know what’s the honks.

@celestialbe1ng Veronica it’s selfie o’clock

Hot take: male bodies aren’t very attractive. What makes men desirable goes so much deeper than aesthetics. Physical appearance is the least interesting thing about a guy imo

@olgakhazan Olga is one of the millions of intellectuals in the West that believes women are strong and independent but the government needs to force men to provide for them

I spent a long time (more than a year) embedded with low-income women in Baltimore. Most of them really, really wanted a serious boyfriend and to get married, but most were not able to easily find a partner.

@Babygravy9 The chicken’s name was Collin

Went to a beautiful country-house hotel for supper in rural Devon last night and was absolutely bored to tears by a succession of waiters explaining in minute detail the provenance of the ingredients and how they were cooked. Why is it now mandatory to know the life-history of the new potatoes you're about to eat and how the chef makes an emulsion? I just want to eat. You do the cooking, bring me the food, smile and be pleasant. Why is this so hard?

@JerodMcDaniel They’re going to be stealing people’s doo doo

Jackasses with no knowledge think that farmers are gonna fertilize 95 million acres of corn 🤣🤣 They may plant that many, but y’all are fucking crazy if you think anybody has any $$ to pour into those acres. Keep on huffing paint.

@LDS_Dems I’m confused you quoted a black guy here as an example of this?

There is a great book called Dying of Whiteness that posits that white americans will deliberately choose policies that create self harm as long as they believe people they don't like are being harmed as well. For example:

@TinaKotek No one cares more about your children than a middle aged childless lesbian

Access to affordable child care is essential for working families and for Oregon’s economy. When parents can count on safe, reliable care, they can build stability for their families. Our new childcare investments will expand options across Oregon and help meet families’ needs.

@Random_Walk_PDX Somewhere in Portland there is still a white heterosexual man who is employed. They cannot stop until he is eliminated

...had enough yet? I mean, how much higher will it go in the name of 'muh climate' and in fatter board and executive packages?

@calvinfroedge The accidents happen when you’re tired. Remember to take solid breaks or just put the saw down for a minute

I gotta tell you running a 24" chainsaw all day wears a man out fast

@PDXReal1 Downtown landlords fell all over themselves to show how progressive and not racist they were for years. It’s nice they get to enjoy their own cooking

Portland city council is exploring a way to further punish downtown landlords by fining them for office vacancies. The “vacancy fee” idea was dreamed up by socialist council members Jamie Dunphy and Sameer Kanal as a way to force downtown landlords to lease their properties for pennies on the dollar. The fines would be implemented based on how long the spaces have been vacant, with larger fines for longer vacancies. Jim Mark, CEO of Melvin Mark Co. claims it would be a terrible idea that would further “dissuade further investment in downtown.” Mark says, “Building owners right now are trying to do anything they can to fill their space and there’s logic that we’re somehow trying to hold out for a higher rate,” he said. “But right now, I’ve got 20,000 square feet of space that I’m basically giving away.” While other downtowns in cities such as Austin, TX have fully recovered with heavy investment since 2020, Portland continues to struggle with one of the highest downtown vacancy rates in the country at 34%, with downtown traffic still 20% below 2019 rates. It is also ranked 80th out of 81 national municipalities in terms of investment attractiveness.

@KATUNews Soon enough there will be no one left to steal from in Portland-and that’s when the real fun begins!

Portland's City Council is expected to weigh new fees to help fund PBOT & road maintenance. If passed, this will be added to an already mounting number of taxes and fees Portlanders are already paying for. katu.com/news/local/mon…

@swaggyunc Oh no I hope I can still watch the Big Game with a heckin bison burger and pub fries at TJ McSlingers in LoDo

Hm

@jornagain The rebrand from swamp helped a lot

Beavers and wetlands have been gaining popularity we need to push this advantage
