Proud to be an Oregonian today! Let's do an economic secession now. #Cascadia #Oregon

Beyond pathetic.
Beautiful landscape out there. I've always wanted to come to Maine and explore; it's where my ancestors landed in the early 1600's (Barter Island).
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
Can confirm. 3-5.
I read Grey's Anatomy when I was 15 and when I finished I had a pretty decent understanding of Latin lol. Wish I had that brain today. I'd be invincible. 😂
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Now they're throwing shit out of the second story window of the White House. WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?
My son is 31 years old, has cerebral palsy, and could not live on his own. We rely on what very little we’re able to wrest away from the government to help support him. And it is VERY little. He’s worth more than a thousand Kennedys. Including that fucking sun-dried sack of hyena shit.
He absolutely is. He's priceless, in fact. And it should never come down to who deserves help. We are a society. People who can work work, people who can help help, and those who need help get the help. But when a price or value is added to this, it wrecks society.
If our worth is linked to our economic viability, then this country is well and truly fucked. Get ready to say goodbye to grandma, grandpa, and every person you know with a chronic disease or who can't otherwise work. I would die without Medicare coverage. This government wants exactly that.
Happy today that years ago I ditched cable, including news, and switched to Netflix.
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Many of us this age have our elderly parents living with us. We do. So how do we protect them from COVID if we're unable to get vaccinated? The GOP is a survival of the fittest death cult. Even though its leaders wouldn't survive a hot second without medical intervention. Crazy times we live in.
So Rudy is hospitalized. Wonder how the alcohol withdrawals are going.
"The public is fed up with entitled elites who think they can take whatever they want." We are so fucking fed up. So fed up.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
Ouch…
Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is not seeking reelection in 2026: www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p... Iowa swung hard to the right starting in 2016, but the 3 special elections that have happened in Iowa so far in 2025 have swung toward Dems by 22, 24, & 26 percentage points. Two seats have flipped blue.
NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.
could we all just agree to keep acting like he's dead from now on, no matter what, can we Sixth Sense him please
I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Absolutely. Take notes. Do not forget.
I have a bottle of champagne that I've been saving. Maybe I should dust it off, pull out some glasses. It's probably not true but I like how we have all this positive thinking going on.
Look, I don't normally snort hopium but this is top-shelf, first-rate hopium and I can't get enough. Keep it coming.
Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
What's blowing my mind is that our escape from this will likely be his death, not that we did anything about it.
Honestly love that the vibe here on a late Friday night going into the last weekend of summer is “gosh I really hope he’s dead, we’re gonna throw one hell of a party”
Got a bottle of champagne on standby.
I woke up with a CRAZY scary stupid thought: Maybe I should run for Congress against Steny Hoyer. Dude’s been in office since 1981. He’s in his late 80s. If I do it, I’ll run as a progressive independent caucusing with, but not controlled by Dems. And I will NOT take PAC money of any kind.
We saw all your comments yesterday on our post about celebrity chef and D.C. icon José Andrés, and we agree with you he truly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize! 💚
I think I’m in the 9th stage of grief watching this country die… 😖

I'm hoping EVERYBODY feels that urgency. If not we truly are doomed.
You're right and I'm usually optimistic. I'm having a moment lol. I think we'll figure it out. Americans will only put up with so much and we're pretty close to a tipping point.
This gives you an idea of their thinking: www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives...
There could very well be another Democrat seat here. Salt Lake County, as well as Summit County (Park City) reliably vote blue, hence the gerrymandering that washed out both county's votes. Let's hope Utahns decide to turnout for midterms. It could make a difference.
But we already are. And not a lot can be done about it if the courts are going to back him. Even if voters flip a seat blue it's not going to matter if there's no election, or if there's substantial election interference. Like I seriously don't know that this is ever stopped.
The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.
I believe you're right and what's insane about that is those who are deciding this are the most unfit.
The lowest of the low in this country, who also happen to have enough power to execute their collective will, decided after Sandy Hook that no, not even babies matter. Shot up babies are okay, actually. That's when I knew we'll never have gun control. Ever. This country is dying.
Literally the only time in my life I've been grateful to have autoimmune diseases. Literally. Holy shit this government doesn't just NOT CARE about citizens, it's as if they want us dead.
Let's talk science🔥 #Oregon #ORwx
If we can help the bees, surely we can help our children. And ourselves. And our earth and climate.
NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...
It fell with Citizen's United.
And it's a wrap.
By the time this is over we'll well know who is who. Our entire press needs to be revamped. Parts of it need to be burned to the ground. If the free press can't keep up with its most important duty, being a cornerstone of democracy, then they're irrelevant. We can do better.
It's just a school of fish following a duck.
You cannot go against nature Because when you do Going against nature Is part of nature, too

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
Who did this?
Interesting that Trump has never sued Katie Johnson or Jane Doe, who testified in court depositions she witnessed Trump and Epstein rape 13-year old Katie. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles. Our POTUS is a pedophile.

We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸
California voters are leaning YES on the redistricting ballot. 48% in favor, only 32% opposed. People get it. The narrative is on our side. Remember: CA puts it to the voters. Texas skipped the people. Ours is a one-time fightback that returns to the commission. Texas’ gerrymandering is permanent.
I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Glad y'all are still standing. 💜
But abortion. Seriously, that's why Utah voters vote conservative. They are literally one issue voters and will always vote against their best interests because otherwise, they believe they're sanctioning "killing babies." Every one of them I've talked to expressed this. Unbelievable.
These "voucher schools" are another GOP scam.

We all know the goal was always to “own the libs.” And in chasing that, too many have given up their own freedoms just to claim a hollow “win.” What they don’t see is that the monster they fed never stops, it eventually comes for us all. And now their silence is deafening.
The Second Amendment wasn’t written for executive orders and barbed wire around the Capitol—it was written to ensure a well-regulated militia that answers to the people and their states. Today, that balance is being pulled apart. My latest: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/who-really...

Putting a man who is running from his past in charge of our futures condemns our futures. The U.S. is now a fascist nation. Can we come back from this?

Donald Trump and the deconstruction of America
At least ten cities in states whose Republican governors are deploying National Guard troops to Washington, DC, had higher rates of violent crime or homicide than DC last year, according to a CNN review of FBI data. https://cnn.it/4mZjjHQ
Great #Resistance technique!
They're about to have a rude realization when their immediate elderly or handicapped family member's Medicaid, Food Subsidies, Home care, VA Benefits and or Nursing home shuts them out and now they have to care for them and or provide food and shelter. MAGA isn’t going to help!
Might be the best message on social media today.
See this is the thing MAGA doesn't understand. They believe the hate, violence and threat is always against "the other." They haven't yet woken up to the realization that they, too, are THE OTHER. If you're not a billionaire, you're next.
I read somewhere, if marriage benefited women, it would have been taken away from us by now.
Round up every last Trumpfascist and put THEM in the alligator camps for treason. Run on that promise. Now THAT would be justice.
#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles. Let's not forget.
James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.
California didn't start the redistricting fight. But we're going to win it.
It's a great day when you wake up and see an obit like this one. Let's keep them coming. This man singlehandedly managed to wed the GOP to fundamental nationalist Christianity. He was a cancer in our society.
Control of the Senate could be decided in Maine. This oyster farmer is vying to unseat Susan Collins.
