The Dem Party shares the blame for where we are today. It's not like there have been no warnings (see Sarah Kendzior books). If we get out of the present mess, we definitely will need to overhaul the whole system (Constitution). But we know how hard that is to do, which is why it takes generations.

It doesn't take long to lose to an insurrection, but it takes generations to get back what is lost.

Who were unemployed ...

The worse part is that Duffy really does get paid.

First Portland, but we are all frogs now ...

Now that the press has exited the Pentagon, the Administration has manipulated exactly what it wanted: no coverage. A lose, lose choice presented to the press. Of course, the press could file a class action lawsuit under the First Amendment. I'm sure the corrupt SCOTUS awaits it.

Why do you repeat exactly what's in the meme? Why not elaborate on it instead?

Right now, we have no protection, as all branches of govt are controlled by American fascism. It's going to be hard to turn it around, but it must be done.

Trump has the face of someone ashamed to show that he orchestrated the whole thing.

"Enlightened centrist" seems to me like the ultimate oxymoron.

It helps he has a supreme court on his side.

"Humans are the biggest plague on the planet."

Got tipped to a great website: isportlandburning.com/
24/7 live video feed from several locations in the city. Check it out & share widely. Let's do our own anti-propaganda campaign with reality.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

Or--We asked an asshole, and we got bullshit in return.

Thomas Pellechia @brklynboy.bsky.social · 9d

Uh, huh!

Thomas Pellechia @brklynboy.bsky.social · 9d

Yes, I'll bet some of your best friends are women ...

Thomas Pellechia @brklynboy.bsky.social · 9d

Sorry, sir: there aren't even women in head gear and capes, with two hundred babies walking behind them (when they are let out), not to mention a collection of pots and pans at home.

She's protecting herself.
