New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:
We taking down Tesla on Saturday @niedermeyer.online ? I’m going to try convincing my 14yo to come since she loves booing at every Tesla she sees on the road

At a peaceful protest organized by Unions in Portland, OR that marched past an Ice facility. Without warning or provocation launches tear gas and flash banks into the crowd. I had just observed a family with an infant and ~ 3 year old near where gas was deployed
This was a couple blocks away. Glad I had a mask but my eyes were messed up
I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards
I was a couple blocks away and could barely see my eyes got so messed up
They tear gassed the hell out of us though after the march got to the ICE building
Huge anti ICE protest today in Portland OR! Thousands of people
I’m there
Oh interesting. I lost my younger brother to suicide after his battle with mental health. My college roommate was an English major and loved infinite jest and based on him loving it I would never touch it. But now maybe I should
Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
so much volume in $IVRO lately
looks like Zeff has been buying a lot of $SPRS www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?...
@tressiemcphd.bsky.social this quote is really sticking with me. Thank you.
“it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination.”
I keep checking my account for the cash but not there yet. I’ve held for a little over 10 years. Buying many times along the way
Got the $MRCR buyout documentation the other day. Super happy with the $5.59 price. They are “holding back” $0.51
I'd never worked on a piano before. So many little parts in there. The bottom screws had broken which dropped the pedals adjustment out. A key damper and one other part whose name I do not know had fallen off.
I volunteer as a handyman at a local LGBTQ community center, the PDX Q center, and my most recent task was fixing their incredible piano. They got it from Darcelle who was a famous Portland drag queen
here's me fixing the mixer with super pro Jim advising
One of the places I volunteer, Repair PDX, was featured in a local news story and they caught me fixing a kitchen mixer. So fun! www.kgw.com/article/news...
It’s way better here
This really nails it. 2025 is when the state broke my heart.
I started to volunteer a lot. Im the maintenance dept at the PDX Q center. I repair tools at the tool library. I help fix peoples things at a repair clinic. I’ve done habitat for humanity. I took a day off work to pick weeds in a park. I’m signing up to shop for elderly neighbors
I love it
This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
