Over 3000 people showed up to protest fascism today in Lake Oswego, a small Portland suburb known for its “sundown town” reputation. #NoKings

I’m not a domestic terrorist, Karoline. I’m a middle aged mom; i coach kids’ sports. I’m a physician who serves her community. And I’m here to protest fascism. Nobody pays me to speak out against authoritarianism. I just know it’s the right thing to do.

Learned to wax my own skis this year, and found out it’s a nice meditative experience. Soothing for the brain. Doing the snow dance as a new storm cycle rolls through the cascades.

these people have zero moral compass. or, maybe more accurately, their moral compass points to the giant piles of dogshit my neighbor chooses not to pick up from their yard.

My watch thinks my rage-fueled running is a bit much, but clearly my watch doesn’t read the internet. Wait until it sees how much weight i will lift tonight as part of my strength-training-to-fight-nazis plan.

this is a cartoon, where there are people checking in to a "blue state." A woman on the left side says "an abortion, so just a few nights." At the other side of the counter is two adults and a child, and they are saying "gender care, so, forever."

Tweet that says: Elon Musk, whose net worth is over $500 billion, met with US Senators, whose average net worth is $2.3 million and who make $15,000/month with fully paid health benefits, to discuss cutting social security benefits to people who get an average of $1700/month. Let that sink in.

good morning from the #PNW! two of my most favorite things about my new house: the three-mountain view from the back deck, and the two chatty great horned owls that frequent the tree cluster by my mailbox.

taking advantage of another extra-early season bluebird day before the mondays set in. skiing is one time when i can quiet the anxiety muppet that seems to live in my head. (maybe because all mental energy is spent trying not to die as i shoot down a steep incline on waxed up planks.)

Quote from A.R. Moxon: "Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or a dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is 'Nazi.' Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in doing so, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares anymore what particular knot they used in the binding?"

i'm struggling with this general vibe. like, why aren't our elected democrats SCREAMING right now? (ok maybe, like 2 of them are.) i mean, decorum isn't going to fix this; it's clear that trump just won't follow the rules. so why aren't they fighting? or if they are, why not LOUDER so we can see it?
