I had some dark thoughts this morning. When AI takes over white collar jobs and robots replace most manual labor, we meat sacks become a burden to the oligarchy rather than a resource to exploit. So it makes sense when they deny climate change and dismantle vaccination programs. They want us to die.

Great turnout at the "Hands Off!" protest in Portland today.
No visible coverage by local news stations. Very little crowd control by the police. But everyone was in good spirits and demonstrated peacefully.
THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!

Remember: whatever happens from here on out the Dems who vote for this GOP budget are complicit. Because they willingly surrendered the power they had to stop it.
The idea that allowing what’s been happening the last two months to continue is a way to avoid “blame” is madness

If Dems don’t call it impeachable now, it won’t be effective to call it impeachable later. Go on record now.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!
