I went to sleep. @senjeffmerkley did not! Speaking now more than 12 hours to ring the alarm on the rise of the malignant narcissist’s authoritarianism. Power of Merkley: high level of emotional intelligence that connects with lots of folks including rural voters. Tune in at C-SPAN.

Past 2 #nokings labor feeder march #pdx

This was the labor feeder march coming across the steel bridge in Portland (sorry I was doing my duty as a Marshal so didn’t post that back then). Thousands just in our piece. #nokings

Wishing Boston A Wonderful Off-Season !🤭🤭🤭 #MLBPlayoffs

Just spitballing here but @opb.org maybe you shouldn't assign a dope who lives in BEND to write a clueless story about #Portland. This is an embarrassing piece of "journalism". www.opb.org/article/2025...

While the war rages outside in the streets of Portland and food supply lines are cut, I was able to leave the front lines to cook up Burst Cherry Tomato Orzotto, a poor substitute for local vending machines which have been emptied out as people hoard.

Really, for the sake of everyone out there who is concerned about the devastation, the danger, the utter chaos in this war-torn city, I ventured out, at great personal risk, to send these images to folks, so you know what to expect in #PDX

A leader #Mamdani

BREAKING...WSJ: "Microsoft has disabled certain services and subscriptions by Israel’s defense ministry, after finding evidence that it used the tech company’s cloud services to surveil Gaza citizens." #GazaGenocide

My day always brightens up reading about trouble for #Giuliani. The wonderful gift that keeps giving. thehill.com/regulation/c...

Any Democrat who votes for Trump's proposed new $6 billion arms deal for Israel should face a primary challenger #GazaGenocide

The domestic secret prisons are next

Has there ever been a more whiny president than Donald Trump? “You treat me so unfairly”. LOL. Get your big boy pants on and grow up.

Kash Patel is mentally ill. C'mon, come investigate me, you cowards.

Least surprising: Florida man found guilty of assaulting one woman, and credibly accused by many others of sexual assault, casually dismisses the crime of domestic violence #TrumpRapist

Normalization: U.S. blows up a "drug cartel" boat in open seas, media shows the usual cinematic fuzzy missile hit... ...and no one asks "is that legal?" Execution without trial is the hallmark of authoritarian regimes.

New wardrobe arrived (even though I no longer vote there…) #Zohran #nycmayor

Labor Secretary goes full verbal fellatio: "Mr President, I invite you see your big beautiful face on a banner in front of the Department of Labor because you are really the transformational president of the American worker, along with the American flag and President Roosevelt" @dol.gov

"The moon is made of cheese. Elvis lives. The Yeti is real. Believe us."--Israel Defense Forces

Putin eating the lunch of a 4-time bankrupt real estate felon is the least surprising moment in… decades. Lol

Trump-Putin talks are not secret. Just check Hegseth's Signal chat.

. @dalarrykrasner.bsky.social outstanding job on CNN tonight giving the unvarnished truth

A convicted felon ranting about how others are weak on crime is peak American Exceptionalism. LOL #TrumpInsane #Crook

Yesterday, I posted the first of three parts addressing the very urgent need for a wealth tax. Today, the second post addresses the three main VERY WEAK objections to enacting this urgent tax. Post #3 is coming: the nationwide Campaign. workinglife.substack.com/p/a-wealth-t...

I have a spare room for any Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives #Sanctuary

I'd quote Orwell as perhaps the inspiration to firing someone who doesn't give a wanna-be dictator the desired "truths", except this moron doesn't read. #1984 #BLS #Jobs #FactsMatter www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07...

Bernie Sanders is forcing votes tomorrow to block offensive arms sales to Israel. Everyone should be watching the Senate vote tomorrow & taking names. @wyden.senate.gov, eyes are on you. We know @senjeffmerkley.bsky.social will be on the right side. #Gaza

Assistant is done for the day

Being in agreement with Marjorie Taylor Greene was definitely not on my bingo card today #gaza #brokenclockrighttwicedaily

Trump fired hundreds of contractors at FEMA call centers=people died in Texas. Turns out government matters. #TrumpKills #NoBrainsNoem www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/c...

Tell me how you're a racist without telling me you're a racist. "Trump says Liberian President speaks 'Such good English,' the nation's official language" www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Bernie on Netanyahu being feted by Trump/Congress: "A war criminal who will be remembered as one of modern history’s monsters" 👍 #Gaza #WarCriminal #Netanyahu

“You want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.”

Just a little inspirational reading waiting for Day 2 of the #waterfrontbluesfestival to kick off 💪💪💪✊✊✊ #generalstrike

#Fetterman wants to go home, complaining about long hours. Gee, sorry you have to do the job the people elected you for at a time Republicans are engineering massive wealth transfer to billionaires. Just f-ing resign already! #Useless

Democrats would be the majority in the Senate if Raphael Warnock was Senate party leader. Putting aside his policies, he’s able to talk like a human being with passion and connect with people.

Like the American people, Rosa listens to the feckless, mumbling #Schumer for 2 minutes, yawns & chooses to nap.

SIGNIFICANT! Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, SEIU Local 32BJ, & NY State Nurses Assoc. ENDORSING Mamdani! First two were with Cuomo in primary, nurses didn't endorse in primary. BOOTS ON THE GROUND! #NYCMayor

Bill Clinton endorses Cuomo—solidarity between sex predators #nycmayor

The silence and refusal to stop war by Schumer and Jeffries has been criminal—and telling. Morally bankrupt. #iran #war

I'm a pretty informal guy especially when it comes to dress but, just spitballing...maybe, on the job, ICE’s deputy field director in NYC could look less like some gigolo on South Beach? Though on brand in terms of low-floating human detritus doing a sleazy job.

Cut Medicaid & spend billions on another war. Totally makes sense... as a remake for "Dr. Strangelove"

The pro-biz, global mag The Economist headline: "Protests against a regal presidency have been notably peaceful. There is no need to send in the troops" #NoKings

Truth #nokings

Based on the past, forthcoming Trump statement on targeted Minnesota politicians & the shooter: There are very fine people on both sides. #Minnesota

These political killings lay at the feet of the Mad Hatter in the White House. He has fanned the hate and bile. #Minnesota

Sometimes I wonder why I do these... trying to debate irrationality, stupidity and lies is soul-draining. But, someone has to... #Immigration #NoKings youtu.be/2fkMQRREupM

Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

Pro-tip: you can't have a 9-person political debate #NYCMayorDebate
