Well from one Boyer to another...congratulations.

Don't forget party lines if you're writing about phone numbers. Remember Rock Hudson and Doris Day in Pillow Talk?

Today we honor National Indigenous Peoples’ Day, recognizing the rich cultures, history, and continued resilience of Native and Indigenous communities.

We can’t erase the past. We must acknowledge it and work toward justice.

"Washington Burns Paychecks For Headlines" As Trump blames Democrats and Democrats blame Trump, America’s government grinds to a halt — proving the real failure isn’t political. It’s moral, systemic, and ours.

"And, until we stop rewarding the arsonists with airtime, the fires won’t stop.

Until we look in the mirror and admit that the problem isn’t just in Washington; it’s in us, the lights won’t come back on."👇

And to think 78M voters thought a narcissistic sociopath who was a convicted felon was going to "do something" for them. #MAGA stupidity by the bucketfuls

I will be attending at least one of about 4 within a 5 mile radius of my house (in MN)...and that doesn't include the massive rally planned for St. Paul. MN has its act together for #NoKings

I think this one got lost in the news cycle of Trump's other insanity yesterday.

This is absolutely disgusting

A good motto for @indivisible.org and #NoKings on 10/18

Anyone who's had the displeasure of having to drive Highway 29 across that state has nothing but contempt for any Wisconsin farmer. Maybe they can take their Trump flags and signs and sell them on eBay...and besides a bailout is coming their way.

My friend lives in this area...posting in case any other IL residents need to know this...this is a bit north of Chicago:

🏆 How does a comedy show have the best news research team? @thedailyshow.com

I still have my Maytag washer and dryer I purchased in 1982. Working like a charm.

Any chance of keeping it going past one day in Chicago or Portland? #NoKings

"Bondi Torches Justice For Trump" Pam Bondi didn’t testify; she detonated. Oversight collapsed into insults, lies, and theater, while Republicans clapped like seals and democracy sank one more rung into the abyss.

"We are now at a place where truth doesn’t matter, rules don’t matter, and even congressional oversight; the most basic function of checks and balances, has turned into performance art for social media soundbites."👇

Make sure you're following @meidastouch.com and the tracking they've been doing on this...here's just one example. Time to start running candidates in 2026 promising to enact single payer? Way past time.

A Polite Society that Wasn't The problem with polite society is that it mistakes silence for civility

"The path forward isn’t nostalgia. It’s reconstruction."👇

This was my Sunday travel feature section today: bsky.app/profile/wisd...

Sharing with @hartmannreport.com since you are Portland based...the Sunday travel section of the @startribune.bsky.social featuring "serene" Portland...bits of truth filtering out.

‘Sun-drunk’ and serene visit to Portland ‘Sun-drunk’ and serene visit to Portland

HA! Sunday travel section feature on "serene" Portland as Trump declares it a war zone. 78M Americans fell for Project 2025...meanwhile...there sits serene Portland.

Been so long since I've seen that...I have a VHS of that movie...but (close enough) when Mother says all I want is peace and love and James Earl Jones says: We're the US government...we don't do that.

Too many secrets. The best movie ever.
