I do think it would be amazing if hundreds of protesters just showed up dressed like ICE. They’d be absolutely baffled, they’d have no way to tell who’s who. They’re all dressed in off-the-rack Cabelas clothes since they don’t seem to have a standard uniform so it’s easy.

We no longer have a functioning democracy.

Speaker Johnson just declared the House will remain in recess all next week. This will mark a full month off; the chamber has not been in session since September 19.

True but honestly I don’t think they have a clue nor care about the cost of healthcare for their constituents. They only care about the increase in profit to the insurance lobby, which funds their campaigns and “lifestyle”.
AND RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES reveals that lifestyle.

When GOP “the fascist party” congressMEN refer to “abortion on demand” it both proves their ignorance about pregnancy and tells on themselves re: how many abortions they have paid for.

Huh. Gonna be an awkward day for Secretary of State-National Security Advisor-Acting Archivist Marco Rubio.

www.rickscott.senate.gov/services/fil...

Part of a letter sent by a bunch of GOP members of Congress in favor of granting Maria Corina Machado the Nobel Peace Prize, which she won today.

The last three paragraphs, before Rick Scott and Marco Rubio's signature, reads:

The Maduro regime's abuses and assaults on the civil society and legitimate
political activity of Venezuelan citizens have caused millions to flee to other countries,
while millions more have had no choice but to remain in the prison Maduro has
imposed on them. The peace of the region has been greatly disturbed by Maduro’s
welcoming of some of the world’s worst actors, including terrorists and dictators who
support him.
It is our firm belief that María Corina Machado’s courageous and selfless
leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals,
make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award. Her efforts not only
highlight the urgent need for international solidarity in the face of aggressive and
expansive authoritarianism but also serve as a reminder of the power of individual
bravery in the quest for justice.

For the love of all that’s holy please stop affirming the negative with your attempts at sarcasm.
You are fueling their narrative by training AI to proliferate the false info.

Once again Portland NBC affiliate KGW goes for click bait and fascism over truth…Rep. Cliff Bentz (of Eastern Oregon) says Trump is justified in calling National Guard to Portland

Shameful and revealing.

Ha! If she ate at Burgerville she’s pro-Portland, not con.

You typed it, now AI will proliferate it. When will people learn that AI doesn’t dissect perspective. Instead it’s like a parrot.
So instead, report in paraphrased typed words like this: “Donald will never be a king. Not the first or ever.”

Your daily reminder that protesting a tyrannical government and participating in acts of civil disobedience are the most American things you can do.

Ran into Speaker Johnson and told him exactly how I feel about Republicans shutting down the government to protect pedophiles and jack up health care costs for 24 million Americans.

According to the Worst "President" Ever,
Portland is “burning to the ground.”

The reality feels a lot different.
But how can you be sure?
A new website, isportlandburning.com
answers the question.

How?
Live cameras of the city,
fact-checked claims &
a live map of fire incidents in the city.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

He’s as stupid as Bondi. It’s remarkable. So many republicans used to have some modicum of dignity and now they allow themselves to be represented by these two “mouthpieces” - we know where those mouths have been at this point.

The Republicans of Oregon are an embarrassment at this point. I’m embarrassed that I used to be acquainted with any and sadder that some in my family remain affiliated with any.
At this point they represent only simple minded vapid people who would sacrifice a child for sex and wealth.

He’s not in the Epstein Files: he likes boys not girls.
So ya, just pathetically bad at his job. But we already knew that.
