I am a lifelong student, thinker, policy wonk, political junkie and general dabbler in various studies. If only I could find steady work doing all these things . . . Alaska is where I come from, but Portland, OR is now home.

I drove public bus during the 2020 federal riots in Portland, OR. TriMet buses kept mostly to routes & Schedules. Bus drivers are still grappling with working in a pandemic & during Krasnov’s first attempted insurrections against our government. My empathy to public bus drivers in affected cities.

The Trump crime family and Pres Taco himself are responsible for the authoritarian regime in Serbia losing it’s grip on power. Per TRMS this Mon, because of Pres Taco’s insist push to build something in Europe and breaking the law, the Serbs are fed up with their regime and are protesting!

Despite what Pres. TACO’s regime says, he has NEVER had a mandate. He, his regime & his collaborators are actively engaging in a coup d’état. He needs the majority who oppose him to think they are a minority. We are not. We are the majority. Do not obey. Illegitimi non carborundum.

President 🌮!! Point and laugh at Krasnov! It will knock him off his run of retribution and force him to figure out how to counter it. Now, hit him on all the other fronts! He, his regime & his collaborators are leading a coup against the US. DOGE still isn’t real. Illigetimi non carborundum.

I can’t believe I have to post this again: @msnbc.com, #media Language matters. DJT and his regime are actively leading a coup d’état against the US. A weak man in power is still a weak man. DOGE still isn’t real. Appeasement never works. Do not obey. Illigetimi non carborundum.

Re: Krasnov’s 13 yo plane: Well, now we know that the 35 yo and 34 yo current Air Force One’s are too old for his liking. Apparently, he prefers them younger, too.

Re: Comey’s backdown: 🤦🏻 If he really does think his speech (Instagram of ‘8647’) is nonviolent political speech, he needed to lean into that. Not delete the photo. He backed down from the bully. Appeasement never works.

Here’s what Dems need to do: hammer Krasnov on his failures in economics, trade and his outright corruption. Explain that to fix everything he’s broken in 100 day will take generations of teamwork from all of us to fix. I’m fairly sure Sen. Warren has plans for the fixes.

Why is it that a certain sect of Christians insist on following the Hebrew Bible literally and the New Testament, where their Jesus is found, as a ‘pick your own adventure’ sort of thing? I have never understood this. Can anyone help?

A reminder: Language matters. Krasnov has a regime to overthrow the US. DOGE is not real. The best way to stand up to a bully is to stand up to a bully. Do NOT obey Krasnov’s regime. Find ways to point and laugh at all their mistakes, post them, make the mistakes hurt. Illigetimi non carborundum

Just watched ‘Bones of Crows’ and ‘Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner’ back to back. Then, ‘Lakota Nation vs United States.’ Reflecting on the Aleut internment of WWII. And, the creation of Marcel Marceau. The sharp end of the resistance spear always comes in unexpected places.

I get a kick out of when people I don’t follow or know block me … it makes me feel powerful. Krasnov has a regime and collaborators. They are leading a coup against the US. DOGE is still not real. Do NOT obey. Illegitimi non carborundum.

Language matters: Krasnov and his regime are leading a coup against the US. DOGE still isn’t real. This is what single-issue voters voted for: a coup, a broken economy, and a lawless regime. Do NOT obey. Illegitimi non carborundum.

Jackie Robinson is rolling in his grave. The Dodgers have always been a sticky wicket for me. Their move from Brooklyn to LA, their love/hate relationship w/42, and, now, their capitulation to DJT’s bullying … to my mind, they just lost 42’s support. Nope. I’ll stick w/Mariners and Red Sox.

What is Krasnov talking about? I tried to follow his salesman patter, but his riffing is now incoherent word-salad. Even his stance on Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza is … weird.

Language matters: Krasnov and his regime are leading a coup against the US. He and his collaborators want to tank the economy so’s they can ‘save’ US w/a world war. He wants your kids to die for his vanity.

Remember that when the Russians invaded Ukraine, they looted washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and … toilets. We have no idea how rural Russians have been surviving Putin’s regime. But, we do know that every Russian is not doing as well as every Ukrainian.

It is amazing that there are protests happening around the country and not one major news network is interrupting their programming to cover them.
