Newberg, OR held a vigil tonight for Alex Pretti at our downtown flag pole park. We estimate about 100 folks stood with candles in freezing temps to honor him and Rene Good. Rep. Andrea Salinas and other leaders spoke and rallied us to continue the fight for our rights. We will! Yes, we will!

If you are European, please accept my deepest apology for our President of the United States and the obviously incoherent and untruthful speech at Davos today. Many US citizens are working hard to correct the situation, but it is quite difficult, as many in the country's leadership are no better.

OMG. I was pointed to Proverbs 6:16-19. Oh, Trump.
There are six things the Lord hates, seven things he detests:
Haughty eyes,
A lying tongue,
Hands that kill the innocent,
A heart that plots evil,
Feet that race to do wrong,
A false witness who pours out lies,
A person who sows discord in a family.

Greenland is another hypocritical position from Trump. If Russia is a threat, why help them in Ukraine? Europe should block all US imports to force US capitalists to stop Trump. As long as they are profiting, nothing will change. Yes, it will hurt, but $ is Trump's and billionaire cronies' God.

Feds on steroids? Could this explain how these "macho" men are so hopped up and violent? Is steroid use legal for federal agents?

Do Democrats have a list of crimes that the Executive Branch and the Pentagon have committed under Trump? Will they prosecute those crimes when in the majority? Impeachments and court martials must be completed to bring the rule of law back. But I expect they'll fudge it as usual.

The thing about principles is that they are universal or are not principles. If a "criminal" President can be violently arrested before found guilty in a court, then what follows for a CONVICTED felon who is also a President? Trump and DOJ are simply hypocrites. Jesus judged them harshly.

Please join me in asking your Federal legislators to create laws to disallow the naming of US govt properties, stamps or currency for any living US govt official. Trump's renaming of Inst of Peace bldg cannot stand. Let's make it a felony. No kings for 250 years!

Sorry Lawrence O'Donnell. You contradicted yourself about motives of Senators. You said Senators from Nevada and Virginia had to protect the citizens of their states. But then you lauded Senators that had the COUNTRY's interests at heart. The coming health care crisis will dwarf Nevada and Virginia.

After Senate Dems caved, I am now officially leaving the Democratic Party. We have protested in the streets, donated food and money to help SNAP recipients. Sacrificed for what? So Senators can get their Thanksgiving vacation flights? We won the SNAP court case so why not wait for SCOTUS ruling?

The last 2 decades of elections prove that our slogan should be: When We VOTE We Win! You have to get more votes than the other guy. Didn't President Clinton say something about ARITHMETIC? WHEN WE VOTE WE WIN!

Who do the corporations think will buy their stuff if workers can't work? The money they get comes from CUSTOMERS. There are no customers if there are no payrolls. AI is just Automated Ignorance. Robots don't need or want to buy anything. No jobs, no nothing. DUH.

Please explain. Democrats are horrible "communists" but Xi is a "great" leader of a "great" country. China is a COMMUNIST country. Is Communism therefore "Great"? I know, MAGA is just BS, but still my poor brain...

Thank you for being real. Of course, with all the rhetoric about "free speech" on MSNBC, they still censor it; with all the commentary on being "strong", MSNBC still demands anemic responses.

If Alina Habba was fired by the federal judges, why don't they just refuse to allow her to practice in their courtrooms? If she insists on showing up, then hold her in contempt and move to disbar her. Stop warning about contempt charges and apply the damn law!

Another shameful ruling from SCOTUS bigots. Religious freedom cannot include racism, bigotry, misogyny, child abuse, or any of the hateful fantasies of superstitious people. We need to save our youth from such ignorance and provide public education about real life, including science and equality.

I'm a bit disgusted by NATO secretary Mark Rutte's brown-nosing with Trump today. Seen it too many times while working in corporations. Show respect to POTUS, yes, but guffawing? Defense is serious and 5% is onerous. US spends only 3.5% but on its own industries!

Big stupid bull is not just about the budget. Why is there no major criticism in the news or Internet feeds from our Democratic Senators to strip EVERYTHING out of it that is not directly related to spending? The bill should be DOA as only budget reconciliation can move forward.

The irony of the LA protests is the people are trying to get the laws enforced, while law enforcement is trying to bypass those laws. Officers on horseback that beat people sitting on the ground should be fired. They are sick and must be removed from any possibility of hurting others.

Will law enforcement officers be held accountable for following illegal orders? Who are HSI, really? Most of them look like vigilantes: scruffy, out of shape bullies, not professionals.

Where are the TV and streaming ads condemning the "Big Beautiful Bill", explaining to the American people how it will unravel their very lives? RFK Jr talking about sick children while every program and policy to help them is wiped out? Judges blocked from enforcing orders? Put it out there!
