Truly disappointed in your pile-on here, Mr. Hayes. You're really becoming part of the problem. Consider the source of those accusations.

Disarm Genocide: Shut Down the Ports. Stand with Palestine.
As a trade unionist, I committed myself to all working-class struggles. That commitment is inseparable from Palestinian liberation. There is no workers’ justice without Palestinian freedom.

Counsel for civil rights lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong, lead defendant in the St. Paul church protest case, notified the court of the White House’s deepfake image of his client. It’s evidence the government’s “nakedly obvious bad faith.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Whitehouse subsequently posted on Twitter an altered photo of Ms. Levy-Armstrong being arrested to make it falsely appear that she was crying and making her face darker. …  The government's fourteen page Indictment makes clear that the government is persecuting Ms. Levy-Armstrong and her co-defendants by attempting to turn a non-violent political protest directed at a federal government official into a federal felony
case

Ms. Levy-Armstrong respectfully requests that the Court fully consider the release conditions of her co-defendants, her own irreproachable background and status in the community, the lack of any violence associated with the incident underlying the Indictment, and the government's nakedly obvious bad faith.

I'm in the Pacific Northwest; gas prices have been slowly decreasing here at least since the summer. Of course oil prices often tumble when economic growth slows, and I suspect that the big oil companies jacked up gasoline prices before the 2024 election because they favor republicans.

Bob Soper @bobsoper.bsky.social · 04/12/2025
To be fair, gasoline prices have been decreasing. Having said that, groceries, healthcare, education & housing costs are steadily getting worse. Jobs are becoming scarce. The wealthy are sucking up all the oxygen from this economy.

Not sure I agree. In many deep red districts, the member of congress knows that he/she has to survive those wacky far-right gop primaries every 2 years. THAT is the constituency which republican elected officials are most concerned with, after (of course) the obscenely rich who fund their campaigns.
