Just joined and was hoping to fill the void of Yahoo Comments and Reddit that had gone down hill as of late. I gave up on Facebook as well, hopefully some good discussions. I hear a lot of people have thought out discussions here. I like coding and video games and going back and forth at times!

No way will I attend the White House dinner with this President.

I’m standing with @govwesmoore.bsky.social and @colorado.gov — and standing against Trump’s corruption and hatred.

And I’m calling on my Republican colleagues to do the same.
Democratic governors to boycott White House dinner
More than a half dozen Democrats said Donald Trump disinviting two of their colleagues is the latest example of administration's 'chaos and division.'

Are you prepared to GENERAL STRIKE?

When the GOP tries to decapitate elections, we must go nuclear and SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN.

@gallego.senate.gov is leading the way.

Please RP. 💙

10 Million 'alleged' viewers is my guess. Kind of like the 7 million dollars for Melania. You can say whatever you want these days. Doesn't make it accurate.

We all know big corporations have too much influence in Washington. I've never taken a dime of corporate PAC money because Arizonans need to know their elected leaders are working for them. We need to put people first and get corporate money out of politics.

Okay if I wanted to run or go against an incumbent Democrat in Oregon, does anyone know if you even get listed? I feel like ALL I SEE is just D or R in everything and even if the incumbent sucks, there is nothing to do. I want to defeat all the Pro Israel Pro ICE Democrats and curious how to.

So we found out the richest people on earth are far worse than we thought and with proof. NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS. If that is not a point blank, yeah however rigged you though it was. OMG it's way worse and you can do nothing about it. #ThisTimelineSucks #EatTheRich

Seeing this a lot. It is fake. Be aware that Leonardo is not from Brazil. This is also confusing 'mention' with 'mentioned in conjunction with trafficking and being with Epstein'. If someone says: "I want 'Leonardo DiCaprio' to attend" vs: Elon Musk: "I want to come to your Island Esptein."

Just remember Republicans defend EVERYTHING that is happening.
Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

So I watched the Grammies with the wife and kids. Not only do I feel old but I feel there is no music in modern music. No songwriting, no rock, no musicianship. One of the songs of the year was just singing overtop of Gotye's 'Someone I used to know'. #Grammies #NoMusicInGrammies

Went to Portland anti ICE protest that went from Elizabeth Caruthers park past ICE facility. It was peaceful but just people saying 'ICE out of Portland' and giving them the finger was enough for them to set off tear gas at a crowd with children. #FuckICE #ICE #PDX #Portland

Kind of scary how dumb Bari Weiss thinks other people are. Her 'new journalists' include a lot of people she brought in like Niall Fergusson who if you don't remember, helped destroy Newsweek as he had a 'Why Obama failed' during 2012 referencing made up things in the future.

I hear Minnesota is filming a horror movie. It's called 'Midwest Reality 2026 USA'
They’re filming a horror movie a few miles down the road from me.

Not even kidding.

Any woodworkers in the PDX area on the WEST side? I was wanting to make a cabinet that is about 1'6" deep, 5' width, and 6' high for a pantry. I didn't want expensive wood but just some pine or doug fir. When I look at Lowes for say 2x8x8 doug fir it's about $11. #Woodworking /1

Shouldn't stop at ICE. They need to remove DHS. 'Homeland Security' was an office made AFTER 9/11 to track, record, and incarcerate people with little to not actual laws. It was around the same time of the 'Patriot Act' to use surveillance on people. And members train with IDF too.
Disappointing to see people on here talking about their ideal ICE/CBP reforms.

It is a terrorism organization that is conducting terror campaigns.

Abolish.

At minimum.

That's it.

As it should be. NO ONE should be subserviant to dear leader. In fact they should be addressing GOP Congress of how incompetent and dangerous he is. Since they live in this dream land he is doing a great job.

Rate your Trek series GO!
1. NG
2. Voyager
3. TOS
4. SNW
5. DS9
6. Discovery
7. Picard (Season 3 would be much higher than this though)
8. Enterprise

Never saw Animated Series, Lower Decks, Prodigy, or Academy so I will not rank them. #StarTrek #StarTrekSeries

I feel like 'the left' needs a common message of what they are doing to combat fascism. I don't see one and every day I just see less and less happening in Congress. To the point when I said before #WeNeedANewLiberalParty. I mean that now more than ever.

Why do I hate driving in PDX? People cannot follow basic rules of the road and it causes extreme congestion. Guy in left lane is going 50, will accelerate when you attempt to pass him, then slows back down. STAYS in the left lane. This is NORMAL behavior in PDX where people just bottleneck/1

Okay so I installed a piano hing particle board folding router table to my table saw table. But anyone know if there are better 90 degree LOCKING hinges, or maybe I can just hinge far legs that nest up for better control. Lowes blows when I typed in '90 degree hinges'. #woodkworking /1
