Republicans keep blaming Dems for their own failure to come up with any plans for healthcare. They simply choose to hack off parts of the ACA that help to make healthcare at least more affordable for many. The costs here are eye opening! www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

FROM SHARYN ALFONSI —60 Minutes reporter

Just checking in to see if this algorithm is showing my posts to anyone lately. I seemed to get a good run of followers for a while and lately, almost nothing. Any fellow Indivisible resisters out there? Any PNW peeps? Anyone else simply exhausted lately?

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Just another day in the beautiful PNW. Seen on my walk this morning near Owen Beach in Tacoma. Otter, ferry and Mt. Rainier and bubble fun on the beach. And no rain! Perfect Sunday.

From the @nytimes.com I can’t imagine how long it will take us to overcome the demolition of science and research in this country. What an absolute abomination. I am so disheartened and incensed. More property will be lost and more people will be injured or killed.

Sadly, the Fox entertainment watchers will never see this information.

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔 A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice. Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

It looks like the LA Chargers have no offensive line today. Feel bad for Justin Herbert!

After all the clouds, winds and rain here in the PNW, Mt Rainier is a sight for sore eyes! It’s magnificent today. Taken from our deck. 😊

Are you in Tacoma? Please consider this. Thanks!!😊

We cannot continue to allow cruelty, hate and dehumanization to win. We must push back in any way we can. We are all responsible for raising our voices and using our spending and voting power to end this assault on humanity. Always vote, and buy from businesses that support human rights.

Wake up America! Is Venezuela the next Iraq? Jon Stewart has some thoughts. www.instagram.com/reel/DSB07t1...

Remember, as Sean Duffy keeps telling us his ideas for air travel -- dress up nice for your flight! do a little workout before you get on too! -- this is an actual Good Thing We Wanted that Democrats secured for us before these assholes took it away

Wow. Powerful words about the benefits of immigration from Reagan, set against the all too familiar images of ICE today.

Monday Night Football feels a bit like the Keystone Cops tonight!

😢

Okay. This is my absolute favorite. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This article just makes me so sad. And angry. And disappointed. I refuse to bury my head in the sand, but man, this regime just keeps piling on. This Prison Rehabilitated Inmates. Until ICE Paid to Fill It With Immigrants. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/u...

It's a never ending series of grifts that remains defenseless. (S)

Anyone else want to choose a few beauties from Fox and enter some reports? Easy to find some blatant lies in support of Trump every day. What a shitshow this all is!

This SCOTUS will be the final straw in the death of our democracy. The idea that drawing up districts purely for partisan advantage is just fine in a democracy is absolutely sickening. Supreme Court Clears the Way for Republican-Friendly Texas Voting Maps www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/u...

Photo break. Some low fog stuck in the port of Tacoma / Commencement Bay. Taken from Point Ruston.

These people are absolutely exhausting. How many times can they roll out this lie and have MAGA bite? Seriously - NO ONE HAS BEEN STOPPING PEOPLE FROM SAYING MERRY CHRISTMAS! All the fake MAGA/GOP Christians can say it whenever they want to.

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Just imagine Mike Johnson’s face when we get this done. Tell Congress to force a vote on extending ACA tax credits!

Hey Tennessee… Get out and vote!

Damn - I’m just running out of words and outrage. Fuck Trump and the entire team of Heritage Foundation a**holes who hate everyone who isn’t a straight white male. But it seems that ped*philes are just fine. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Could not be happening to a more deserving guy!

What sports world am I living in where I should have played Jared Goff instead of Lamar Jackson?! Even football is upside down this year! #fantasyfootball

Let’s be clear, cancelling important research so late in the project is where the real waste and abuse comes from. All past $ spent are completely wasted if you can’t take the study to its conclusion. Such idiocy! How to Protect Children From Pollution/hear www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/c...

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Photo cleanse! Mt Rainier from our deck right now. Bluebird day here in Tacoma!

This is the best Marjorie Taylor Greene post that I have seen so far. I can be happy she has come around a bit, but until she fully owns up to her part in dividing America and fomenting violence, I can’t forgive or forget.

Wow. Epstein survivors need justice and closure!

Anyone else feel like we are living in a movie filled with villains, and the writers forgot to include the superhero who saves us? If this was a movie, I don’t think we would believe it. It’s just too much, right? Too much grifting and lying. A plot that includes protecting ped@files at all cost.

This is worth watching! Jon Stewart makes great connections here with is guest. Socialism for corporations seems to be 👌 www.instagram.com/reel/DRADrmg...

Of all those undeserving of a pardon, this guy rises high on the list! What an absolute creep. What are we doing, America?! www.instagram.com/reel/DQzGFh5...

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Always assume that everything Trump says is a lie. Because it is.

I remember growing up in a conservative household I was told about how in communist dictatorships, the people starve while the leaders build opulent palaces and ballrooms. Anyway, not sure why I brought that up.

I believe ProPublica over Kristi Noem

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

Point Ruston right now. Always a beautiful view of Mount Rainier! Gotta love the PNW!

Does anyone else think that the ordering of these military strikes on boats without any evidence presented is just a trial run to see how far they can push the military to obey orders that may not be legal?

Trump must have really impressed the troops with this part of his speech. “It comes from you people, incredible people, good-looking people. Too many good-looking people. I don’t like good-looking people. I never liked good-looking people. I’ll be honest with you, never admitted that before.”

Election Day is a week from tomorrow, and millions of Americans have a chance to elect important local leaders — judges, council members, school boards, and more — crucial to defending and rebuilding democracy. If you haven’t already, make a plan to cast your vote.

I was just telling a friend that cereal is $6.50 n it used to be $2.50 n that’s the Family size. And, I’m annoyed that shipping from other countries is so crazy. Taco’s trade wars r ridiculous n he just needs to b arrested along w his whole Cult. #arresttrump

Wouldn’t it be an amazing message if all warehouse workers in the US staged a walk out or called in sick on Black Friday? Just a random thought for today.

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
