America is worth saving! We most certainly have a fascist government. No one is coming to save us so it is up to us to retrieve our democracy. I am doing all that I can. I don’t care what gender, color or race you are. Just be a good person.

We had the best economy I can remember. We were respected throughout the world. We were trusted. Now there are warnings about coming to our country and we’re about to go broke because of tariffs. Only wealthy people will go about business as usual.

I worked for a company with 13,000 employees and most people worked remotely. It's easy to monitor employees.

When I went to an office I worked less because I had to leave. At home I'm destroying my back because I work such long hours.

I refuse to use a company with subcontractors . Any work done by subcontractors was a nightmare...they mistreated my property, did the work amateurishly, severely damaged parts of my house they weren't even working on, ... while people with their own team did a great job on other projects.

I am not in Idaho, but much too close for comfort.

Aren't republicans supposed to be proponents of states making their own decisions, and 'America first'???

This jerk is in Portland to stir up trouble. Watch your back.

Market of Choice is not even remotely political. They sell unique foods: Environmentally friendly, vegan, organic, etc. Like Whole Foods.

We let it happen and should have fought.

Insane fees, forced to buy subscriptions that should be a one time purchase (like Office), answering systems that make you crazy, self service anything, jobs sent overseas, low pay, appliances made to break, technology made to become obsolete, ...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This was one of my favorite presidential moments! Obama cracking up over a baby dressed like the pope
in a mini Pope mobile.

I miss having a sane president .

Valid point!

I like that in Portland they're wearing inflatable costumes. It keeps the protesters anonymous and if ICE tried to hurt someone in a frog suit they just look mean and silly.

There is nothing good about this. Absolutely nothing.

They're allowing Trump to build a resort in Qatar. Wonder why?

I hope Maga wakes up before they get us all killed.

New Orleans is electing a new mayor and a wide field is pledging change after indictments https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/orleans-electing-mayor-wide-field-040159565.html

Democrat Helena Moreno wins New Orleans' mayoral race

New Orleans city councilmember Helena Moreno was elected mayor Saturday in the race to succeed LaToya Cantrell, who is ending a turbulent second term shadowed by federal corruption charges. Moreno, 48, secured an outright victory with 55% of the vote with all precincts reporting, according to preliminary results from the Louisiana Secretary of State. The Democrat avoided a runoff in a wide field by beating out Oliver Thomas, a fellow councilmember, and state Sen. Royce Duplessis.

It's pretty insane. I don't know how they can be so certain that it's carrying drugs they kill many people. However life doesn't matter to malignant narcissists like Trump and Hegseth.

He will no doubt win in a lawsuit and he will deserve it however our tax dollars pay for all these atrocities that the Trump regime is committing. We will go bankrupt on lawsuits alone.

The regime itself never suffers any repercussions.
