I'm feeling hopeful Montana has 24+ #NoKings rallies organized for Oct. 18.
While it doesn't seem like much compared to blue states, when you look at the numbers for all the states that surround Montana (ID-WY-SD-ND - all red like us), we are having double the rallies. Same basic demographics.

Life Investors Insurance Co. tried that with me in 2008.
They paid for my travel to a "seminar". When I arrived & realized it was a cult indoctrination camp, I left. They told me that I would need to sell at least 4 policies to pay for my travel. I told them to fuck of-sue me. They didn't.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

If Pope Leo can convince the bishops (who function like members of Congress - i.e. push their own agendas while ignoring the masses they should serve) to do the right thing and get their hands dirty, this disillusioned former Catholic might just start supporting a Pope!

Farrukh @implausibleblog.bsky.social · 1d

Pope Leo says that American bishops need to be more vocal and support migrant communities from being abducted by ICE in US cities

"Important that we as church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what's going on in some cities in the US"

"The church cannot be silent"

Only 40 days have passed since Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were tragically killed by an unhinged Trump supporter, yet this story has largely faded from national awareness. We must not allow that to happen.

They might as well given it to him after their recipient went on a Shitler loving rant about how he deserved it. Totally devalued it for her and the rest of the world.

All the DEM dinosaurs that have been governing through status quo must go. We are partly in this mess is because when they had the power, they used it to further their own agendas while pussy footing around the tough issues, so they keep their "moderate" base for their reelections. They sold us out.

If Nancy Pelosi runs in 2026 you can feel free to assume every bad thing you've heard about her is true. If she cant read the room at this point she deserves all the backlash she will recieve. Just the fact she hasn't announced her retirement at this point is eyebrow raising.

This reminds me of a documentary I watched on the Ponzi scheme victims. Some of them said that they were going to invest their remaining paltry funds into crypto currency. I thought at the time... why, why, why go with something else shady and unproven? Dumb asses who try to get rich quick.

I accidently purchased a bracelet for my granddaughter on eBay before realizing that it was coming from China (forgot to check the "US Only" box). 2 months later, it never arrived. Had to get a refund. Buyers beware. Shitler has fucked us over on cheap goods.

I live next door to Idaho. I quit visiting the State after the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, 3%ers & MAGA fanatics took over. Worse than MT now.
Road rage is real and they are armed and looking for someone or something to shoot at. I feel for the sane people who live there.

anybody know anyone living in Idaho? I seriously wonder what they think about having Qatar set up an Air Force Base in their backyard
Especially, those neo Nazi types. Do they understand that people from Qatar are not white ?

Mid-terms will be a battleground. Not because of lack of popularity w. DEMs. GOP will cheat at all costs to protect themselves from prison.
Dominion voting machines purchased by a right winger. USPS still run by DeJoy. Extreme gerrymandering, perhaps martial law.
Preparation is the key to success.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
