Steve Bannon motivating Democratic voters.

I know women who own guns.

It doesn’t take a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. — Dylan

On point for the dotard.

You just can’t satisfy some people

Maybe people will finally decide we need to stop the hate and fear and spend more on butter and less on guns...

For decades Europe let the US assume an unequal share of their military defense. Now the bill is coming due, and Trump is muttering about breaking kneecaps. Who knows how this is going to play out?

Forcing holders of 10-year federal bonds to convert to 100-year bonds sounds like a tax the rich scheme that doesn't want to admit that is what it is.

2% of Germany's budget goes to interest on loans. Washington pays 13%. Trump didn't take us to 13% alone. There's plenty of blame to go around.

There are those who believe any friendship between Russia and Germany is not in America's best interest. And we have this Ukraine mess.

If you hate Arabs, you are anti-semitic.

The current kerfuffle over Musk's request for a trillion dollar salary package reveals how entwined government money is entwined with corporations all around the world. We have different names for this political economy, but a duck is still a duck in any language.

The objects in your rearview mirror are closer than they appear.

Amazing how many legal problems have vanished once these guys give money to Trump.

It's none of their damn business how the states run their elections. It's like Trumpies have never heard of the constitution.

ICE raided a bakery in Clackamas, so they decided to make Portland Frog pastries.

www.netflix.com/us/title/810... This show from Norway is wonderful. It is so well done with such wonderful actors and relatable characters.

What happened to that old saying about an army traveling on its stomach?

I felt no satisfaction at Cheney's death even though he is personally responsible for lying us into a war that killed so many innocents. But if Trump died, God help me. I wish I could say the same, but doubt it. What a ruinous state he has created with his abuse of power and criminality.

As usual, ICE claims pretty unlikely behavior -- driving over curbs, trying to physically block their vehicles, etc. Smashed window and dragged her out before giving her a chance to exit. Looks like at Stark & Hogan in Gresham.

Thought on documenting things: chest straps to hold phones are quite cheap. Also, relatively recent used phones are inexpensive and wont be such a 'my whole life is on there' hassle or privacy risk if confiscated or smashed

There's no group of people I love more than librarians, and no group of people for whom I have more loathing and contempt than library wreckers. They are, respectively, the heroic guardians and mortal enemies of human civilization.

🐾 I found safer homes for those Donbas cats this summer. They were taken in by a pensioner, two sisters displaced from occupied territories & a nurse 🐱 All the soldiers who saved & cared for them are deployed in the toughest directions at the moment, but they still regularly ask about each cat 🥹

Another way of looking at the NY mayoral race: the Republican candidate got...what?...7% of the vote? 7%? I'm not a fan of single party systems. Republicans should dump christo-fascism, Trumpism, KKK reactionaries, and populist trailer trash. Stick to centrist, business-oriented policies, GOP.

Remember what Cheney did I do He also set the table for the Trump dictatorship with his “Unitary Executive” bullshit

Katyal quotes Justice Robert Jackson, head Nuremberg lawyer as his final bow:

blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/05/d... Where were the arrest warrants? The whole point of Trump's thuggery is to terrorize.

Palantir CEO calls his company ontology. I call it fancy gossip.

www.cnbc.com/2025/11/04/n... More bad news for Trumpists. Norway's sovereign wealth fund says no trillion for Musk.

Americans are sick of people whining about school kids using the wrong bathroom. They just want to afford food, pay the doctor, pay the rent, repair a broken down, rusting car so they can get to work if they ever find a job. Social issues and tribalism only help politicians, not the people.

Looking at the new congressional district map for California, I see my old piece of conservative dirt sliced up like a piece of pie. All my Trumpy friends and relatives are probably crying, but in today's America, someone is always crying.

Please note the differences!

Good morning. Today would be a good day to give money to Democratic senate candidates like @drannieandrews.com drannieandrews.com secure.actblue.com/donate/loc_website

But he eventually decided gays should have a few human rights. So there's that.

According to the FBI, if a masked guy robs you but doesn't hurt you, he's a criminal. If he beats the shit out of you, he's probably a federal agent. Good to know. Good to know.

Maybe the US doesn't want a massive gold ballroom that looks like a cheap Hollywood stage set for Versailles. Maybe they are tired of a president who acts like a bad impersonation of Mussolini.

It's true there are a lot of immigrants in New York City. That has always been true. New York is also one of the world's greatest cities. Guys like Miller and MAGA are so filled with hate and fear they can't connect the dots.

They will try.

Conservative Man Proudly Frightened Of Everything

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

By the time we're out of elementary school, we know the world is full of assholes. The trick is to not let them into positions of power. We failed that lesson with Trump.

The attorney general in Kentucky had to tell residents that no, they could not vote for New York mayor. May it was just ones getting free samples from their local sour mash distillery.

California passed prop 50 hugely. I can hear central valley heads exploding all the way up here in Portland.

Cheney died and Republicans lost across the board. Republicans, dump Trump, christo-fascism and Russian crime bosses. Return to your traditional values. You'll always be a minority party, but at least you will be a valid voice contributing to a healthy democracy.

So posting thugs at the California polling places didn't work for Trump.

Holding grudges only harms the holder. For our own sake, we need to be better. Fight the good fight, yes, but forget the grudges.

Does MAGA understand who else hated diversity? Hitler hated diversity...and Himmler...and Goebbels...and....

When established governments degenerate into squabbling disfunction, people can turn to autocracy on the extreme right or extreme left. Then the camps will be built and the squabbling will quiet down.
