General strike.

Yesterday, Trump confirmed we are heading for outright fascism, and today the markets are up on much less consequential news.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

“We have documented systematic physical beatings, torture, intentional denial of access to food, water, clothing, health care. And the combination of both the physical abuse and the denial of basic needs has led to the death of at least 368 people, according to our investigations.”

Rise up.

This is fascism. Right now. They can send American citizens and residents to this death camp with no legal recourse. Raise the red flag. Circle the wagons. He is crossing the Rubicon.

Is CECOT a death camp?

“I don’t need to fight to prove I’m right I don’t need to be forgiven”

Intentional market manipulation to benefit the insiders. It’s a crime, but it won’t be prosecuted for 4 years.

Are we ready for another war on top of it all?

Sure, if you want there should be a recession

Watching an elected American President intentionally sink the economy is fucking bonkers.

I think we really need to amp up our hostility towards Elon Musk.

The Democratic and Independent Senators should do a round the clock filibuster, each person taking 24hrs, and then after 47 days, start the shift over. A person could do a 24 hour shift every 47 days, no problem. Stop this administration from getting anything done. Resist. Like Senator Booker does.

Good morning to everyone who hates fascists.

“Do you seek jamaharon?” “Dude, this is a Wendy’s”

New Radicals’ “Get What You Give” on FULL BLAST today

I remember when the GOP launched a policy called “No Child Left Behind,” and now their policy seems to be “Every Child Left Behind.”

When they say “Social Security is a Ponzi scheme,” ask them if they think the elderly should be cared for, and how. They don’t have an answer.

Don’t be the kind of person who “laugh” reacts to local news articles about climate change.

Honestly, what if I just moved to Portland and opened a bookstore.

Are we ready to consider the possibility that Russian spies will be given a free pass to operate in our country, as long as Russian spies are running our country?

There are two kinds of MAGA supporters: Assholes, and sentimental idiots.

I love it when MAGAs get mad at me for being unfriendly to them, like bro, you’re a bee’s dick from knockout.

One of the things about Seattle that I tell tourists is “we believe in freedom here.”

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social - Jon Stewart needs to run for president in 2028. It’s time.

Ten Democratic Senators will be primaried for their actions today.

Hey, @aoc.bsky.social - You should primary Schumer.

Primary any dem who votes with the GOP on the budget.

A resistance party will not give one inch.

Imagine a West Coast high-speed maglev rail corridor, from Vancouver to Seattle to Portland to San Francisco to LA to San Diego.
