Senator Jeff Merkley says what we all are thinking.

He says that the federal Government is faking a riot so that Trump can invoke the insurrection act or worse martial Law.

And now it stopped.....I haven't even had the edible yet!

I drank a handful of times in my 20s, 30s & 40s. I drank more in Nov & Dec of 2024 than I had in the THIRTY YEARS prior.

We're talking, multiple bottles! I had sads.

I literally felt the Loma Prieta quake in my tummy from just the picture. I may have lived in Oregon for the last 22 years, but I'm a Cali girl forever.

I remember when it hit, I ran down the back hallway & LEAPT over the porch on my way out of that trailer on blocks. Hit the grass at a run.

ICE agent called woman “bitch” before he shot her seven times. She was not brandishing a weapon as they claimed. Why won’t they release his name? Don’t let them provoke you. Record everything you can safely.

There's no defending what Speaker Johnson and Republicans are doing.

They're turning their backs on @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social's constituents and every American seeking justice for Epstein's victims.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

When the government sends troops into our communities, we don’t panic—we organize.

Get the facts about the military deployment to Oregon & learn what to do if ICE shows up in your neighborhood.

She's got him by the gonads & he's going to talk himself into pardoning her & betting he can trick MAGA into believing there never even was an Epstein.

He wants martial law. This is from downtown. I took six videos today of the Pearl district, old town and 10th. Tomorrow I’ll do Hawthorne. I’m so tired of that orange asshole ruining our lives.

This is why he's talking about pardoning Maxwell, he wants to pretend the whole things "is a hoax" so he can make the GOP swallow.

In case it's not obvious: he'd be pardoning her to downplay HIS OWN actions. He KNOWS the files are coming & he's hoping to make himself the baby thrown out with the pedophile bathwater, he can't be guilty if no one is.
