Impeach Trump AND Vance for treason. It's obvious that neither of them are fit to be president. They seem to be willing to hand the Russians unconditional surrender and sell out our friends and allies.

I'm sickened by by Trump's outrageous behavior regarding Russia, Ukraine, Greece and Germany and at the UN! He must be removed from office promptly, which will require that Republicans in congress display a little courage. He's a traitor and should be in prison for the rest of his life.

When you waste fuel you're giving Putin a free ride.

Trump just told a series of lies on the radio claiming that "DEI" caused the DC mid air collision and blaming Obama and Biden. The breathtaking outrage of Trump's deceit is nearly matched by the lack of preparation by the media against Trump's predictable firehose of lies.

True then. True now. Thank you, Willem Arondeus.

Every Senator, Republican and Democrat, should vote NO on the Hegseth nomination. Pass it on.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity. Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

Let's look at the important facts; If his name was Hunter Smith or Hunter Jones he never would have been prosecuted, and had he contested the charges a conviction would have been impossible to obtain. The prosecution and entrapment of Hunter Biden was an outrage and the pardon is 100% justified.

This is my pro-democracy starter pack. Consider spreading it around and following some of these great accounts! go.bsky.app/6ZPSJH3

For me and a lot of vegans black Friday is Buy Nothing Day.

Which is worse, being black or gay? Gay! If you're black you don't have to tell your parents.

Raining like crazy here on the edge of the Salish Sea

Thanks to the Snohomish County Public Utility District I now have Power and internet back on in spite of the historic bomb cyclone that damaged the whole area with gale force winds and flooding. Good work PUD!

So pleased that Everett Washington raised the minimum Wage. People working full time shouldn't have to go on food stamps to feed their kids. Rents are just too high for a lot of people to afford.

About 10 % of the federal budget is interest on the debt. The only way to to reduce that bill is to raise revenue by taxing the heck out of the super rich and corporations and spend it only on deficit reduction. We could quickly cut that down to less than 3% of GDP. So why don't we? 😆

Had a mostly sunny day here on the shore of the Salish Sea, I'm pleased that we haven't had prolonged power outages so far this November.
