I’ve been away from BlueSky for the day. Is our peace-loving necrotic demented president gotten us in a war yet?

Brutal.

It’s just a misunderstanding, folks. - Those on the left can’t understand how Republicans can justify their subservience to +rump and his cruelty? - Those on the right can’t understand why the left fears for the loss of human decency and democracy? It seams simple enough.

Great No Kings Rally in Salem Oregon today. Thousands turned out in perfect weather. Lots of traffic and a constant stream of horns supporting the protesters. Well organized. The message is clear: Donald Trump has Got to Go!

Replacement theory isn’t just a racist play to his base. It’s a tool that has allowed the president the support to build his private army and begin mass deportations of lots of good people and a couple alleged criminals, who “just happen” to be Hispanic. This was always the plan, wasn’t it?

Elon Musk was an easy target in so many ways. Please help me figure out Russell Vought’s vulnerabilities as the new head of DOGE.

The great thing about BlueSky is the way I get news clips from key sources I trust. The bad thing about BlueSky is I get these news clips and they are generally about +rump and his his xenophobic, wealth centric, upside down kill-them-all activities. Not today. I’m taking the day off. It’s sunny.

Can some judge just issue a preemptive gag order on this freakin’ administration and +rump’s brain-dead executive orders? It would save us all a lot of time, frustration and mental anguish, and they could get more sleep! Just require them to get court approval IN ADVANCE since DOJ ain’t doin’ 💩.

I wish more of our Democratic leaders and citizenry would ask the question: “Does he think he can get away with all this?” The answer is clearly “Yes,” and the only way to do so is to end democracy and stay in power. He’s paving the way. If that doesn’t motivate you to be aggressive, nothing will.

I think we need Woodward and Bernstein to get busy and do “All the President’s Men, Book II.” Although I guess it needs to be “people” now. And it’s a lot worse. Can you imagine thinking someone would be 100 times worse than Nixon? “Past Me” would think that was pretty funny.

Question for the world. Have we identified any of +rump’s January 6 angry-white-guy crowd as actually working with or for ICE? I’m not denying it’s possible, and I’m seeing a lot of assumptions, but I haven’t seen anyone actually ID’d. Curious. Thanks.

I wrote this little thing on Substack about our country’s current dissociative event. I think we need an intervention. open.substack.com/pub/oregonbo...

Judge Sessions: Third Mapp factor: necessary to make habeas claim effective. Detention is further restriction of Öztürk's First Amendment and due-process rights. Meanwhile, detention "further chills the speech of millions and millions" noncitizens through out the country.

Women are leaders in saving democracy. I see women who are intelligent, feisty, young and old, black, brown and white, fighting in Congress, leading marches, and calling out failed leadership. For good reason: they fear for their rights and their children, and we white men aren’t getting it done.

Media spends a lot of time nibbling around the edges of Trump’s autocracy. His answers about following the rule of law, the constitution, judicial proceedings, even moral imperatives is ALWAYS vague. It is therefore logical that he indeed is okay with a path towards autocracy. We must assume that.

If a democrat responded to a question about small business this way they’d be broken on the rack bsky.app/profile/theb...

And we can talk about honor, empathy, social justice, equality and all those things that are now almost outlawed because of duh-fuhrer-Donny. I’m in!

I read a book last month that neatly explains Trump’s appeal to so many. It’s long, dark and hopefully complete fiction, but it’s also the best explanation for his rise to power and his bizarre collection of sycophants. #dansimmons en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrion...

For my Oregon friends. We’ve been here before.

Friday’s trumpy news wrap-ups is exhausting. We had a bunch of legal wins, toxic, new EOs, his cabinet looking like a cartoon squad of brown-nosers, and we’re staring down a home-made economic collapse. You can’t do this to people and think it won’t explode, which I’m thinking is the point.
