I grew up in Oregon. This plan to clear cut Oregon's old growth forests is terrible in multiple ways. This article gives info on the situation and also where/how you can submit a comment to the BLM. Comment period closes March 23.

Operation AIPAC Fury Israel lobby-backed Democrats could determine whether Trump must seek approval before escalating the war in Iran.

We did the math.

AIPAC is Rep. Greg Landsman’s top donor, giving $350,000+ in the last election cycle — more than 10× any other contributor.

Trump's Dumb War Is a Test Democrats Must Not Fail Trump has launched an illegal, unjustified war with Iran. Democrats must oppose it — loudly and without apology.

NAFTA Literally Killed The Working Class New data on the trade deal that still haunts American politics and the economy.

🚨NEW DATA: When a Democratic president joined with Republicans & corporate donors to pass NAFTA, it killed the working class - not just figuratively, but LITERALLY.

NAFTA may be memory-holed - but it is the sliding-door moment that explains American politics today.

As Trump’s deportation campaign grows violent, some Oregon Republicans begin to push back • Oregon Capital Chronicle Several lawmakers and Republican spokespeople bristled at requests for comment, but a few expressed concerns with federal agents' tactics.

The Capital Chronicle reached out to more than a dozen House and Senate Republican lawmakers about immigration, most of whom were more reluctant to address the conduct of federal agents than leading gubernatorial candidates for the GOP’s nomination. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/02/16/a...

that’s the new Donnyverse talking point: because the Dow is at 50,000, Preznit Fuckwit and his fucked-up gang of fucker-uppers should get a free pass for all their fuckery.

we heard this dumb-ass drivel just other day, from Pam Bondi. Pissy Pam insisted that Donny be excused from any accountability for his thousands of appearances in the Dead Pedo Bestie Files, because the Dow was at fifty large. you’re welcome, Epstein victims.

get ready to never hear the end of ‘the Dow is at 50,000’ — because if there’s one thing that Donny and his flunkies love to do, it’s take a talking point, grab it by the haunches and clownfuck it raw.

screenshot from linked to essay that reads:
If you think Republicans will stop once they’ve rolled back transgender rights, you are out of your mind.
Given all this, the supposed strategic advantage for Democrats just doesn’t wash. While trans adults only constitute 0.8 percent of the population, that amounts to over 80,000 voters in a crucial swing state like Pennsylvania—enough to make a difference in a close election if they choose to stay home or cast third-party protest votes. Of course, trans people also have loved ones—our partners, family, friends—who may become disenchanted with Democrats if they abandon us. And if gay, lesbian, and bisexual people (correctly) interpret Democrats speaking out against trans athletes and gender-affirming care as a sign that they are retreating from LGBTQ rights more generally, it could have even more devastating effects at the ballot box. An NBC News Exit Poll of the 2024 presidential election found that LGBTQ people represented 8 percent of all voters and 86 percent of us voted for Harris. This is a fairly solid voting block that has the potential to grow, as a 2025 Gallup poll estimates that 23.1 percent of Gen Z identifies as LGBTQ.

...false assumption #3 is that Dems can excise trans rights w/o impacting other ppl & issues – this is not true! most gay ppl not named Pete Buttigieg understand that anti-trans is part of a broader anti-LGBTQ movement, and Dems would risk alienating all of us...
