Twenty years ago I worked for the local paper. After Obama's election I was gathering opinions. A local business owner told me if he had the chance he'd blow Obama's brains out. I noted it.

My editor told me "We can't print this" and removed the quote.

I'm madder at him for it now than I was then.

Kamala's the epitome of performative.

I imagine the protesters' point is to let her know 1) they know she's testing the waters for another campaign, 2) she's a tainted brand, and 3) if she runs again she's dooming the party.

Sadly, once you're "child brothel" levels of rich I suspect your moral sense is pretty well gone.

"Historic," you say! How so? Please specify all records broken and precedents set.

Lefties, call and email your lawmakers! Nervous? Me too, so here's a script I wrote for myself. Feel free to use it as a template.

Labor Day protest tomorrow outside the Grants Pass courthouse, 10-noon. People over billionaires.

I'll bring fliers for the first LSO meeting too. If even one person I don't know shows up who's interested in organizing, I'll be happy. That's Wed. the 3rd at Palmerton Park, Rogue River, 5-6:30 p.m.

Sadly nah, I'm afraid it's more of a Darth Plagueis situation. The dark side never dies, just lives on through new avatars.

Netanyahu's been war-criming for almost two years and we keep helping him do it. Every day Israel's genocide in Gaza continues, more people are radicalized against Israel and the United States. Nobody is made safer in the long run. This isn't self defense. It's a concerted slaughter of innocents.

What the meeting at Palmerton Park in Rogue River from 5-6:30pm on Wed, Sept 3, will NOT be:

- An event or demonstration. It'll be individuals discussing concerns like the rise of authoritarianism.

- A commiseration session. Disgust alone ain't going to move the needle.

Hope to see you there.
