All the reporters in Portland who unfollowed me when I moved, I ain’t gonna follow you back when I move back. You’re dead to me.
And I’m not leaking any info to you. Don’t even ask. You made your play. Balls in my court and I’m doing an off the heezy.
Also this is a joke I’ll follow you back cuz I can only pretend to not be nice on twitter but I will be Portland passive aggressive to you and won’t RT you which will warm my soul.

The notion that elections depend on who can convince the most people to vote for them versus the other candidate is false and dangerous. Elections depend on who can convince people to vote. Period.
Swing voters might be a real thing if we had mandatory voting, automatic registration or at least a national holiday for Election Day. But until then, you win elections by convincing ALL of your potential supporters to actually vote.
You do that by appealing to your base who can energize the rest of your potential votes. You don’t do this by appealing to the “middle” and trying to convince your opposition to switch sides. You can also do this by convincing your opponents base to stay home.

I think I go:
1. Elizabeth Warren
2. Bernie Sanders
3. Mike Gravel
4. Julian Castro
5. Mayor Pete

Let the unfollowing begin 😂

Quick everybody yell at me because not supporting your person guarantees 4 more years of Trump and I’m a neoliberal shill!
Absolute not gonna happen for me are:
- Joe Biden
- Beto
- Klobuchar
- Tim Ryan

Everyone else is either basically even in my mind or irrelevant
All that said I’d vote for fuckin Mitt Romney in the general if he won’t the democratic primary. So really my main thing is to get Trump out cuz idk if we can even survive him.

I already didn’t like Avenatti but focusing on poor black players moms getting a few thousand dollars and shaming their family as he wasn’t even paying taxes and makes millions really pisses me off. Fuck that guy.
We already knew the players like Zion and Ayton were getting paid. Guess what, we wish they were getting paid more, legally, and all of them. So fuck you.
Hate that guy. Go pay your taxes you fucking asshole.

how much money would I have to give Buttigieg’s campaign for him to follow me back and say “I have utterly unmixed memories of your conduct and general vibe in college, but even if I didn’t, that was 15 years ago, you seem fine now.”
some of you must work for him, get me a number and DM it to me, I’m open to sketchy PACs or whatever
I’ll just give the top number he asks for on his website and one of you tell him he has the chance to harness my extremely niche demographic of (looks at mutuals) sexy librarians, dogsledding enthusiasts, and comedy writers by merely saying hey.

Portland has been freaking out over @wweek's biased story that @PortlandPolice colluded with right-wing extremists. That is disinformation. The mayor excoriated our law enforcement for the standard practice of communicating with protesters on both sides. oregonlive.com/crime/2019/02/…
The Mayor now says this news creates a "mandate" for all city staff to be re-educated on how to fight "white supremacy." This is a power grab. portlandoregon.gov/wheeler/articl…
Portland's city council also just voted to pull out of the FBI terrorism task force, saying they devote too many resources to investigating Portland's extreme left-wing groups. They also expressed fears that officials would cooperate with federal authorities on immigration.

Portland PD has been using a fascist gang called Patriot Prayer as a paramilitary group to attack leftists, literally giving them directions on where to find left-wing marches and promising them immunity on outstanding warrants. "Some of those that work forces..."
#portland pd has a long history of white-power activity, most/all of which has gone unpunished. In 1981, officers Craig Ward and Jim Galloway tossed dead possums in front of a black-owned restaurant. "Possum" is a common slur for Black people in the PNW. wweek.com/portland/artic…
Ward and Galloway kept their jobs, of course. In 1985, #ppd officer Gary L. Barbour killed Lloyd Stevenson, a Black former marine and security guard, with a chokehold, for no clear reason. wweek.com/news/2016/04/2…

Follow along here for my protest coverage of the Patriot Prayer protest in downtown Portland. Someone put up some signage in downtown Portland, mentions the Proud Boys. Stay tuned
Here is the planned route through downtown Portland. Absolutely subject to change. And those fliers are everywhere down here. I wouldn’t be quick to assume that local antifascists put those up. Would absolutely fit the far-right’s MO to hype themselves up in this way
First sign of action at the Patriot Prayer event: dude circling the block with an American flag. “Alpha male” looks to have been drawn onto the back of his shirt.

Yes! The true conservative solution is to spend obscene sums of other people's money to arrest, prosecute, and incarcerate people who aren't a threat to the community
Let's do a brief "There’s a very simple way to avoid incarceration: don’t commit a crime." thread while I wait for my client's case to be called
Just last week, a police officer in Biscayne Park FL pled guilty to framing two innocent black men so the town could meet statistical goals

The men didn't commit a crime, but went to jail anyway

Questions that now should be asked:
1-Who does McConnell put on the Republicans-only committee to write a DACA bill (if he does one at all)?
Has to be members not vulnerable to a Bannonite backlash and primary from the xenophobe right.
2-Who in the White House lays out the limits
based on what Trump (with Miller and Sessions in his ear and Bannon looming from outside) would sign vs attack? Rs need to know that info.
