You know that feeling when your eyes first open and a peacefulness which lasts for no more than an impossibly tiny moment happens before the oh fuck sets in? That's nice.

Two things that will make you feel a little better.

1. Call our HOTLINE (itโ€™s free) 503-212-4600 and rant about your day (leave a message). You can remain anonymous.

Donald Trump promised "law and order" but instead, he pardoned Capitol rioters who bludgeoned police, threatened lawmakers & left 5 people dead. Not what Americans want!

Holy shit I assumed this was more NFTs but itโ€™s specifically a *fungible* asset meaning heโ€™s selling his own crypto coin. On top of that, it has a crazy fucking disclaimer and all the hallmarks of a fucking rugpull. This is fucking nuts.

We now know UnitedHealthโ€”under Brian Thompsonโ€”illegally overcharged cancer patients for meds by more than 1000%.

What we don't know is how many cancer patients died or were financially ruined as a result?

What we demand to know is why that act isn't deemed corporate murder & where are the arrests?

According to Oxfam International, this is enough wealth to lift over a billion people out of poverty.

If you recall the Ohio State commencement disaster from last spring @rooster_ohio and @Juicewag sued to get access to the communications for commencement planning and it's absolutely wild.

Someone should have pulled the plug. This was clearly going to be a train wreck.

Opinion | Iโ€™m a Federal Employee. This Is What We Need Most in the Trump Era. Practical support matters more than encouragement.

Trumpโ€™s pick to head OMB Russell Vought says he wants government employees โ€œtraumatically affectedโ€ and โ€œto not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains.โ€ Targeting our nationโ€™s public servants is wrong and dangerous.
