Got my Oregon Voters' Pamphlet yesterday. It's a thick one! Everyone in every state should get one of these. And everyone in every state should be able to vote by mail. It's the best election system, and we aren't going to let anyone take it away from us!

Despite the impression this portrait coveys, he was quite a small, weak man who terrorized his country. He used the divisiveness of the Protestant Reformation to serve his own selfish interests. His sycophants lived to rue serving him. And he was a danger to women and children.

Ha ha, ya, they're flipping races in favor of the Dems all over the place! www.natesilver.net/p/nate-silve...

Text reads: "Our latest midterm forecast

Updated October 5, 2026

The midterm elections are four weeks from tomorrow, and more than a million ballots have already been cast. As of today, Democrats are in an excellent position to retake the House and are also favored to retake the Senate. Of course, the polls could be off, but as Nate wrote over the weekend, there’s no inherent reason to assume they’ll overestimate Democrats."

Two things have spiked gas prices in the last 4 years. Trump's buddy Putin invading Ukraine and Trump going to war with Iran. They are the problem. Them.

Bananas are the cheapest fruit per pound to buy year round. (Only watermelon is cheaper, but it's seasonal.) And this nimrod, who has never bought groceries in his life, tells people to stop buying the cheapest fruit to "save money" while he keeps making the cost of food go up and up.

Post that says: President Trump Explains Trade Deficits:
"If we buy 2 billion dollars worth of Bananas from Brazil, we're actually losing 2 billion dollars. So if we stop eating bananas, we actually save 2 billion dollars"

Why oh why do Americans eat bananas? And who is the "we" that would save money if we didn't? 🤔

Article reads: Average Retail Fruit Prices – Bananas Remain The Cheap Anchor

CPI shows price change. Average price data shows the price a shopper can picture. In the BLS U.S. city average series for May 2026, bananas averaged $0.646 per pound. Navel oranges averaged $1.542 per pound, grapefruit averaged $1.595 per pound, lemons averaged $2.091 per pound, and strawberries averaged $2.595 per dry pint.

The bribery on the first night sort of drowned out this insanity on the second night.

Text from article reads: “Please raise your right hand,” Trump told a stadium packed with his supporters as he was met with some laughter.
“I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States that loves us so much he can’t even breathe, that I will go out with my family, my friends,” he continued.
“I don’t care if I’m registered or not. I’m going to try and cheat like hell like they do. There’s never been bigger cheaters. I don’t care,” he said. “I am going to go out and I am going to get my friends, my family, and we are going to vote on Nov. 3rd or we are going to vote before that.”
Trump said it went without saying that people would vote Republican.
“OK. So help me God,” he concluded the pledge.
“You know what happens if you don’t vote? You go to hell,”

Now I suspect Trump's attacks on Canada are a Russian op. And probably Greenland, too. Just ask yourself who might benefit from turning the two countries against each other and weakening Canada through the Alberta separatist movement. Just look at a map of NATO members.

This is what the corporate capitalist Dems want you to think is evil. I'm not a DSA member. But I also want all of the things below.

Text reads: "We want a democracy that creates space for us all to flourish not just survive and answers the fundamental questions of our lives with the input of all. We want to collectively own the key economic drivers that dominate our lives, such as energy production and transportation. We want the multiracial working class united in solidarity instead of divided by fear. We want to win “radical” reforms like single-payer Medicare for All, defunding the police/refunding communities, the Green New Deal, and more as a transition to a freer, more just life."

Trump caused Trumporrhea by cutting funding to the CDC. And yes, it most likely came from Taylor Farms, a big donor of his.

Highlighted text reads: "On July 1, 2025, CDC cut FoodNet from eight pathogens to two, keeping Salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and dropping Cyclospora, along with Campylobacter, Listeria, Shigella, Vibrio and Yersinia. The reason given was funding. One year later this parasite produced what is on any honest reading the largest foodborne outbreak in the United States in decades, and the surveillance system built to see it coming had been switched off twelve months earlier."

The prosperity all Americans could have if we were only like other wealthy countries is staggering. data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-wall-l...

Comparison of what Americans would have if the U.S. was the same as the average OECD country. If the top 1% had 12.8% of our nation's income, instead of 21%, every household would have $19k more per year. If the top 1% had 23% instead of 31% of our nations wealth, every household would have $96k more in wealth.

It's almost the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. This is a good time to remember that the first person killed in the Boston Massacre, when a group of colonists were protesting against abuses of the British soldiers, was a Black and Indigenous man named Crispus Attucks.

"This 19th-century lithograph is a variation of the famous engraving of the Boston massacre by Paul Revere." Crispus Attucks, a Black man at the center, is shot by British soldiers while white men behind him him revolt.
