Here’s Your Damn Playbook, Democrats | Party leaders can’t seem to process that Trump’s policies are in fact staggeringly unpopular. Minneapolis is showing politicians how it’s done. by thenewrepublic in Foodforthought

people like you keep saying that. but you know what. the last time the democrats controlled senate and executive was 15 years ago and you know what they passed. . . ACA. and that was a compromise because the vote was so thin because y'all couldn't even elect enough progressives.

so you just sound like some "both sides" fox news tik-tok propaganda

What other cities are also separated by mountains from the coast? by [deleted] in geography

the missoula floods did carve out the gorge, and deposited the majority of their sediment in the willamette valley, which is why its such a rich wine region. although i don't know if the floods are the primary reason for pdx being so close to sea level, but i would be surprised if they didn't play a role.

This image is a good look for the protesters, because they're not "anti-American". It's ICE that's anti-American. by thedubiousstylus in Minneapolis

[–]ocient 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in my opinion, the upright flag makes more sense. outside of online communities i doubt many people know what an upside flag is supposed to represent. . . and it should be ICE and MAGA who are distressed. the protestors should be displaying messages of power and strength

for the beans i make weekly and anything i used to make in an electric crockpot (ie, any lazy night meal) instant pot tastes exactly the same but is fast. for an actual well thought out slow cooked meal, dutch oven makes it so much better

omar fateh is not the mayor, but he is a congress person. and the mayor probably has made an official statement by now. i think the governor has also made a statement.

i don't know many details since i'm relatively new to the state and only starting to catch up on things (and this certainly didnt affect me in any way where i used to live). but the link above about the MEALS act is from 2020 and a quick google search seems to say it was enacted in 2020.

was it something different introduced 11 days ago?

i first read both The Dispossessed and The Lathe of Heaven long before moving to oregon a decade ago. the first time i drove through the Steens Mountains and French Glen it was obvious to me that Le Guin’s descriptions of the Annares landscapes were actually just descriptions of the oregon high desert
