Oh and the guy to the left, our group leader, <50

Captain America there in the photo is below 40, everyone else >50 I think. Point taken and valid, though in fairness, the average age in Vashon is probably about 60! 😆

Sherwood, what “budget bill” are you referring to? The Continuing Resolution HR5371? Or something else? If HR5371 where does this appear? Obviously big deal if it is in there, but I can’t find it. What is your source?

When Trump announced 4 days ago randomly that India agreed to stop buying Russia oil, I was surprised because Russia is their largest supplier, we are still in a trade war with India, and their govt has said nothing about it. Turns out he just lied and made it up. Shocker.

What Trump has to say to American farmers is that they have to understand it is more important to save his friend Milei who has a big election coming up. Peasants. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them?

TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

There were around 300 Vashonites in Seattle, plus others in Tacoma, Olympia and elsewhere! Way to turn out. We also had an oversized impact with the Vashon Bucket Drum brigade, horns and kazoos, great costumes, and of course the amazing Backbone Campaign contributions!

Over 70,000 in Seattle and over 700 on Vashon Island - way to go Indivisible Vashon!

Constitution banner made by @backbonecampaign.bsky.social on the mystic Isle of #Vashon! Indivisible Vashon was on the scene, with our Bucket Drum Brigade (pictured) marching in front of the banner. It was a blast!

They will say they are just “trolling the Libs” but they are really saying “Yes, we are ending democracy, and we have all the guns, so fuck your 1st Amendment”

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

I helped make that head! Massaging gooey paper mache onto his face, sticking my finger up his nose. Disturbing, but for a good cause!

I hate FaceBook but someone sent me this video of the #Seattle #NoKings #Oct18 march from Seattle Center to downtown. The crowd just goes on and on! I was near the front just in front of the Constitution banner, so I had no idea!

I hear from informed sources that these #NoKings rallies are more than twice as big as last time, making them easily the largest protests in US history. Thanks to everyone and especially organizers.
