In a functioning democracy there would be assistance from federal government, at the least a statement. But the Fuhrer doesn't care about anyone but himself and his goal to become the first trillionaire in planet earth by stealing from the US people. And yet 1/2 the country loves the hate.

The Salmon River in Alaska once had the clearest water. It is now a muddy, orangish-yellow mess. It’s brimming with toxic metals, at concentrations that are likely harmful to aquatic life.

The culprit? Thawing permafrost resulting from climate change.

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

Just an FYI again.
Liking a post does nothing at all. If you want a post to be seen you need people to repost it.
And good luck on that. 🙄

Bondi is lying but it’s worse than that: she’s blurring the line between fact and fiction for the GOP base. If nothing is true, no one can be held accountable. Keep speaking the truth.

The Nine Principles of Propaganda
1. LIE BIG Big lies work better than small because the masses won't believe that anyone would lie "about that."
2. FOCUS Don't make it complicated, ignore history, keep it simple for simple minds.
3. REPEAT People cannot tell the difference between facts and
familiarity. If they hear the same words repeated enough, they become true in their minds.
4. BLAME Never credit the other side, always blame, debase, defame, and dehumanize.
nere by dennis prestosk
5. PROVOKE Outrage, fear, and resentment are more powertul than reason, logic, or facts.
6. CRISIS Issues must be lite or death, good vs evil, love vs hate, us vs them.
Urgency defeats objection.
7. EMOTION A person might question facts, but they will never question their own feelings. Go emotional.
8. PANDER Ignore reasonable arguments, demonize all who disagree as having bad intentions.
9. NO LIMITS Morality is for losers. The victor's morality will not be questioned. No limits.

I don't love putting this on people's TL but they are trying REALLY hard to turn my city into an example. Every sneering mention of Portland is meant to entice someone to go off the deep end and commit some atrocity, so they can justify military occupation. They're trying to kettle an entire city

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 19h

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
