Yay Se-Tac!
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport refused to play a video from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that blamed Democrats for the ongoing federal government shutdown, citing its “political nature.”

Trump is intentionally using the cruel immigrant purge and illegal occupation of our cities as a distraction from his massive corruption. The media doesn’t cover the deals - domestic & foreign - he made for self-enrichment. Trading American assets for launching or buying his crypto or for a plane.

The fascist White House shut down the Office of Detention Oversight, which inspects detention centers to make sure they comply with federal standards for the safe and humane treatment of migrants. Meanwhile, the courts are allowing Alligator Alcatraz to remain open.

Trump threatened that only employees of “Democrat” agencies would be eliminated as a result of the shutdown? So, evidently, the CDC is Democrat? 1000 employees purged.

Fuck Dominion for choosing money over Democracy. The sale would ensure control of voting machines and thus, the elected and appointed officials in control of verifying machine integrity. Vought already dismantled the election integrity oversight and Trump told rallies 2024 voting would be the last.

50+ years of personal activism for Constitutional equality and peace, and here I am. In a nightmare that defies daylight. An authoritarian government propelled by a Supreme Court who anointed a king. And, a greedy Republican Party who will sell their souls to keep the billionaire donations flowing.

Could someone point me to the video or newspaper accounts of Portland rioting and burning. I gave friends there who ca t seem to find it, no matter how hard they look.

On Meidas+ “With ACA very popular with the public, the Project 2025 plan was to kill it was to cut off funding for it in a variety of different ways to make it unaffordable. That is what this shutdown is really all about, not “free healthcare for illegal aliens.”

This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 222.

… Trump essentially admitted today that the shutdown is really about repealing Obamacare by choking off funding for it, which was in Project 2025: Q - “Are you open to extending the ACA subsidies?

Project 2025 in action. Their strategy is to never take no for an answer. Break the law and appeal all the way to SCOTUS which created a king. There is no punishment for a king.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.
