I am a lifelong student, thinker, policy wonk, political junkie and general dabbler in various studies. If only I could find steady work doing all these things . . . Alaska is where I come from, but Portland, OR is now home.

Here’s what Dems need to do: hammer Krasnov on his failures in economics, trade and his outright corruption. Explain that to fix everything he’s broken in 100 day will take generations of teamwork from all of us to fix. I’m fairly sure Sen. Warren has plans for the fixes.
Why did Disney not progress with’She-Hulk?’ Latent misogyny within the American culture which Disney embraces. They are working on the inherent racism within American culture with non-white heroines, but are still struggling with inherent misogyny.
Will Disney continue to be a progressive company?

Just a short post as I’m still thinking about all I learned and experienced in my home state recently.
I’ve been trying to figure out how the stereotypical male response to keep saying the same thing over and over to ‘get his way’ is a learned behavior or simply a male behavior.

I realized that I haven’t posted for a bit. I had to take a bit of a break for health reasons — all this craziness spiked my TBI symptoms. Currently, I’m in AK for a minute.

I drove public bus during the 2020 federal riots in Portland, OR. TriMet buses kept mostly to routes & Schedules. Bus drivers are still grappling with working in a pandemic & during Krasnov’s first attempted insurrections against our government.

The Trump crime family and Pres Taco himself are responsible for the authoritarian regime in Serbia losing it’s grip on power. Per TRMS this Mon, because of Pres Taco’s insist push to build something in Europe and breaking the law, the Serbs are fed up with their regime and are protesting!

Despite what Pres. TACO’s regime says, he has NEVER had a mandate.
He, his regime & his collaborators are actively engaging in a coup d’état. He needs the majority who oppose him to think they are a minority. We are not. We are the majority.
Do not obey.

President 🌮!!
Point and laugh at Krasnov! It will knock him off his run of retribution and force him to figure out how to counter it.
Now, hit him on all the other fronts!

Re: Krasnov’s 13 yo plane:
Well, now we know that the 35 yo and 34 yo current Air Force One’s are too old for his liking. Apparently, he prefers them younger, too.

Re: Comey’s backdown:
🤦🏻 If he really does think his speech (Instagram of ‘8647’) is nonviolent political speech, he needed to lean into that. Not delete the photo.
He backed down from the bully.

Why is it that a certain sect of Christians insist on following the Hebrew Bible literally and the New Testament, where their Jesus is found, as a ‘pick your own adventure’ sort of thing? I have never understood this. Can anyone help?

A reminder:
Language matters. Krasnov has a regime to overthrow the US. DOGE is not real.
The best way to stand up to a bully is to stand up to a bully.
Do NOT obey Krasnov’s regime. Find ways to point and laugh at all their mistakes, post them, make the mistakes hurt.

Just watched ‘Bones of Crows’ and ‘Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner’ back to back. Then, ‘Lakota Nation vs United States.’
Reflecting on the Aleut internment of WWII. And, the creation of Marcel Marceau. The sharp end of the resistance spear always comes in unexpected places.

Jackie Robinson is rolling in his grave. The Dodgers have always been a sticky wicket for me. Their move from Brooklyn to LA, their love/hate relationship w/42, and, now, their capitulation to DJT’s bullying … to my mind, they just lost 42’s support. Nope. I’ll stick w/Mariners and Red Sox.

What is Krasnov talking about? I tried to follow his salesman patter, but his riffing is now incoherent word-salad. Even his stance on Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza is … weird.

Remember that when the Russians invaded Ukraine, they looted washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and … toilets. We have no idea how rural Russians have been surviving Putin’s regime. But, we do know that every Russian is not doing as well as every Ukrainian.

It is amazing that there are protests happening around the country and not one major news network is interrupting their programming to cover them.

Our constitution provides for our right to vote. It spells out the voting process for President and Congress. It doesn’t say that we can’t have an emergency vote. So, I put this to you America, if you could vote today, would you?

To the politicians worried about losing their jobs: if you are not representing the will of your constituents, you should be voted out of your job.
If you cannot do your job, you should be fired. If you do not understand your job, get one you do understand.
