Meanwhile in Oregon…

President Volodymyr Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Hide the ketchup.

The government won’t provide TSA worker wages, food or health insurance or disability benefits or disaster relief. But these clowns are being paid to stand and gossip and intimidate people in airports. Just warms your heart 🔥🔥🔥

New technology most often used in crime and sex - or in this case - the intersection of sex and crime

Ah, such patriots and so concerned for the citizen workers (said with sarcasm)

Air Canada plane collides with ground vehicle at New York’s LaGuardia airport, halting all flights

🧪A brilliant narrative by @ellecordova.bsky.social on how the current administration has politicized and crippled the National Park Service, EPA and other government agencies.

the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people. He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

It’s time to make Citizens United history. Montana — and now California — can lead the way. Here's how. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-california-can-neuter-citizens

Spring is coming (if there’s no more snow)

Not watching the speech - useless and filled with lies. Tired of watching federal administration “leaders” using public resources, technology, federal employees and funding to vacation and travel. No ethics in this group.

Filled with lies…

Simple

New in PN: CBS obeys in advance "A routine TV hit which would have been quickly forgotten became a national story about government censorship and a Democratic candidate being silenced by Trump’s henchmen. In a tough primary, you couldn’t buy better exposure. Nice work, FCC Chair Brendan Carr."

“.. We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that's exactly what they want: for us to lose focus … Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

Job creation down. But what’s going up -

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

2016 remember - "From the beginning, we've had water protectors attacked by guard dogs, rubber bullets and mace. Last night, law enforcement upped the ante by using exploding tear gas canisters and water cannons in sub-freezing temperatures," …"There's no telling what law enforcement will do next."

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Welcome to the new pollution, same as the old pollution

This is why women should not change their last names - make men change their last names 🤣

Yes!

Freaking a———-!

😷

It has been this way for decades - people refuse to acknowledge it

Looks like spring - calendar says it is not.

How to make federal jobs very, very, very unattractive

Produce nothing - buy nothing - stall abundant strike

Gutless sob - kicking a dog. Aren’t there laws against animal cruelty?

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469. Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by. Hello?

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

We have the ability to envision a system for all. We can implement that vision. Thanks for the reminder.

Educate yourself

Weekend reboot. Flowers in the yard. This is still January!

If we can’t travel to DC, maybe a concerted and coordinated visit to local Congressional offices?
