- Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden's staff is following the money from Russian agents to Epstein to other "friends" who came to him for financing/capital. The UK seems to be holding a few people accountable but will the US ever do so?
- “The Treasury Department’s Epstein file contains information indicating that Epstein used several now sanctioned Russian banks for hundreds of millions of dollars in wire transfers.“ - Ron Wyden, July 2025 www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
- The UK labour party govt is about to crumble as more is revealed. "... mounting credible evidence that Epstein was a vector for foreign influence operations, harbouring documented ties to senior Russian officials in Vladimir Putin’s inner circle – including Putin himself."

- Deeply disturbing: Noam Chomsky being Epstein's buddy. No one was surprised that Clinton was a Friend of Jeff, but Chomsky? How many clues along the way did we miss/dismiss?

- Excellent encapsulation of what I see everyday in my community.
- 💯 Absolutely spot on where I live here in Oregon. Example The "Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library" is a resource center for the "woo-woo" fan folks AND it sponsors AI seminars, too. I admit to not having attended. I struggle to make sense of this pairing. rvml.org/event/rvmls-...

- Weed use paired with sweeter wine? 🍷Oregon is home to major wineries/grape production AND where premium cannabis is grown, both legally & black market. There seems to be some synergy between use of our major "recreational intoxicants."

- We cannot say we were not warned.
- More like WW1 mustard gas than we have been taught??
- Mail-only voting has worked well with few errors here in Oregon for 25 years. Banning vote by mail would risk disenfranchiseing some white, older, rural/remote population, majority Trump voters. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...
- Honeytrap? UK news on the complexities of Epstein files. Putin mentioned thousands of times: "Together, the three will analyse an emerging theory that Jeffrey Epstein could have been a Russian asset, who collected blackmail material on the rich and wealthy." www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFW8...

- recommending a colleague's book: Fascism Why Not Here? We sociologists have had a LOT to say about the social conditions that have led us to where we are now, but we were seldom "in the rooms where it happened."[Economists have had MUCH more impact on policy] bookshop.org/p/books/fasc...

- This post draws attention to an important issue to understand when examining how some segments of people labeled "Latino" may join a force that terrorizes other segments of that population. Solidarity is NOT to be assumed.
- Recruiting of firearm hoarders is well-known. That Latino agents are grabbing other Latinos requires analysis "...Ochoa had for years dreamed of working for the Border Patrol ... By the time the couple split in 2021, he had become a gun enthusiast with about 25 rifles, pistols & shotguns...."
- Posted & noting. 🤮 At least he's not merely going to call in the demolition crews? "Trump plans to close Kennedy Center for about two years, starting in July" www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...
- Another piece on how the US power elite is shaped by internal elite class conflict. No such thing as elites without capitlist bias in some form; Marxians wouldn't be surprised: reading this made me realize I hadn't been paying enough attention to how class power, sexuality, religion are all in play

- A maladjusted generation? "In general, these findings encourage people to reflect on the benefits &costs of living in a competitive society like America. It invites readers to reflect on how competition may affect people’s mental wellbeing, &in turn on how this may have implications for politics.”

- Reposted by Echo FieldsI've seen videos of the indiscriminate use of tear gas on a large crowd that was clearly peaceful and filled with Portlanders of all ages, and well off the macadam facility. We banned tear gas for a reason. I join Councilor Green in calling for enforcement of our laws.
- Reposted by Echo FieldsIt's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.
