I’ll be carrying my US flag Saturday at Peace Corner but will be paired with a Ukraine πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ flag to remind folks of the 4-year anniversary of the brutal Russian invasion, something the US absolutely has the power to end.

I posted that I've been using eBay instead of Amazon. However, the last package came in an Amazon box. So I looked up what was happening. The eBay seller 'dropshipped' the item. Used my money to buy it from Amazon for cheaper than their eBay price. Violates eBay rules but eBay isn't enforcing.

I agree. While I've cancelled Amazon Prime, I maintain the account in case I need it. I also still use Amazon to search for items and read reviews.

Question: what online shopping site do you use to replace Amazon? I'm currently using eBay. I like to shop local but too often what I need (want) isn't readily available in Central Oregon.

Standing on a street corner again. Apparently it’s the anniversary of Oregon being admitted to the union, so I’m out here with my 33-star US flag. And a Ukraine flag.

Huge number of young folks protesting at Peace Corner today.

And Whole Foods. And Goodreads. And Ring. And Twitch. And Audible. And IMDb. And Zappos. Many others. Quit them all.

I think they need some color correction.

Pretty good crowd last night. I didn't see any of the rumored flash mobs though.

I stopped Prime last year, don't order from Amazon, don't shop at Whole Foods and dropped Goodreads for StoryGraph.

Yeah, imagine having to respect everyone’s Constitutional rights. How could we possibly survive as a nation. I hate that guy.

People who claim to be neutral in the face of today’s reality, are not. They’re complicit. People who can’t see the difference between left and right in the face of today’s reality are either blind or ignorant.

Might it be influenced by whether the particular city or town has a good plaza to occupy?

Lot of younger folks, I noticed. Which is good. It’s their country to inherit.

I read his full comments and don’t think this post is that far out of context. Also, please elaborate on your Charlie Kirk comment.

I don't think cabinet secretaries are obliged to take orders from a deputy WH chief of staff. In any case, this is more fodder for the Nuremberg trials. "I was only following orders!"

From a national perspective, that’s a very disturbing map.

I don't know - I rather he run as a Republican rather than drop out. An old-school, limited government Republican. He might get the nomination as Minnesota is purple. Don't want the GOP candidate to be another MAGA turd.

I’m seeing too much hyperbole, mostly from the brownshirts, about how they’re going to prosecute people β€˜strongly’ or the like. Today the House Minority Leader stated we need to β€˜aggressively prosecute’ the guy who assaulted a Congressman. No, we need to apply the law, straight and narrow.

I was there at Peace Corner and will continue to show up. Hope you recover soon. Took me a while to get past the flu.

We have to win the second Civil War first before contemplating Nuremberg trials. But they will happen.

Golden says he supports ICE operations against illegals with criminal records but fails to see that ICE is targeting citizens & legal aliens and doing so in blatant violation of the 4th amendment.

Not a combat veteran but I am a veteran. That fucking guy's comment about NATO allies not doing their part in Afghanistan by "staying a little off the front lines" boils my blood and I'm sure Iraq/Afghan vets are even more pissed. NATO allies were there for us after 9/11. Release the Epstein files.

According to Heather Cox Richardson, a NYT poll found that only 19% of Republicans disapprove of how ICE is doing business. 19%. How are we supposed to turn this disaster around in the face of such ignorance?
