I want to thank everyone who followed me. Today especially.
I’m still distressed by election. Encouraged so many like minded ppl are still out there. Sometimes boring, sometimes TMI, but always sincere.
ThankYou

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

Protecting child rapists
Not raped children

Enriching billionaires
Starving children

Invading US cities
Not paying the military

Crashing the vaccine system
But getting vaccinated

They operate at a level of hypocrisy & immorality that shocks the conscience.

Please protest on 10/18

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

Got the flu & new COVID shots today with the family, but my kids only got the flu shot because there are no pediatric COVID vaccines right now because dangerous anti-science lunatics have taken over the centers of national public health & are sabotaging them

I live in Portland and I never thought that we would have to go this far. I can't say I'm disappointed in any way. People are showing us the way to embarrass fascist Jack booted thugs and surprise surprise...
It's inflatable animals 😉

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

If a child were to get every vaccine currently recommended by the AAP, by the time they’re 18 they’ll have had approximately 30mL of vaccine. That’s the volume of about three ketchup packets. Over 18 years.

Please help us.

I think of the military as conservative, but see glimmers of hope. Believe me, if you knew me the last thing you’d expect me to say is our military is our last line of defense. GOP Congress are thugs, SCOTUS is an arm of Heritage, the president is astonishingly malevolently stupid with dementia

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.
www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.
