rules/regulations that protect it.
*The rule of law.
*Human rights.
*Intellectual freedom.
*Moral integrity and decency.
*Your WA-03 voters.

The storied American military…outing themselves as cowards and traitors to the constitution they swore to uphold.

Daylight saving haters rejoice: scientists confirm it’s bad for health

US Congress is debating permanent daylight saving – but new research shows keeping clocks on standard time is least stressful on the body

Though MGP voted “YEA” to honor Charlie Kirk on 19 Sept 2025, she did not join the majority of House Democrats in voting ”NAY“ on the CR that passed on the same day. She did not vote on the CR.
The other 2 defectors were Jared Golden (ME) who voted “YEA, and Adam Gray (CA) who did not vote.

An opposition party that isn’t purely reactive and fearful.

Honestly…hearing that Democrats in the House and Senate are “fighting“ for us isn’t as reassuring as you seem to think it is.

Speaking of values, do you have any blue-collar/working class staff members? By that, I mean tradesworkers, transportation workers, grocery workers, union members, etc. People doing the actual work.

acolumbianus @acolumbianus.bsky.social · 13d

Excellent!

Why don’t you go ahead and switch parties?
Show your allegiance to trump in full sunlight to the God you worship?
A perfectly righteous God would recoil much as we do at the cruelty and base immorality of trump and those who pledge him servility while turning their eyes away from God’s Grace.

Meanwhile, across the country in IBEW LU 48, Portland, OR…800+ Book 1 journeymen are out of work.
Few years back, we were also breaking apprentice admittance records.

Not to mention “our way of life.”
We know Marie well by now, and we know exactly what way of life she is referring to.

acolumbianus @acolumbianus.bsky.social · 28d

Shamefully biased reporting.
No mention of the actual facts of the shooting.
Apparently NPR wants to mindlessly amplify Erika Kirk’s message of retribution against the left for her husband’s death, truth be damned.

At least WA Gov Ferguson extended Donald Trump’s directive to lower the flags for Charlie Kirk to include Melissa Hortman and all victims of political violence.

Not you.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

The Governor of Oregon @tinakotek.bsky.social decrying the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
No mention of the three Evergreen High School students shot in Colorado on the same day.
My thoughts are with them.

Tina Kotek @tinakotek.bsky.social · Sep 10

The attack on Charlie Kirk is inexcusable. Violence has absolutely no place in our democracy. America is better than this.

Enough with the banal platitudes.
America is not better than this.
America has failed to address gun violence.
Three children were shot today at Evergreen High School in Colorado.
THAT is inexcusable.

Dexter is a status quo Democrat installed by AIPAC money, party leaders, and editorials by centrist publications like the Oregonian and Willamette Week.
Yesterday she referred to Donald Trump as ”our president.”
OR-03 deserves better than this.

”Our president?!”
Might be *your* president.
Not fucking *my* president!
