Given these clear parallels, it is imperative that we resist the normalization of such fascist traits in our society. We must continue to engage in peaceful protests and civic action. Join us every Saturday from noon to 2 PM—most often in Nehalem, and for larger demonstrations in Manzanita. If you cannot attend, please write letters to elected officials at every level, expressing your concerns about the erosion of our democracy. Let our leaders know that their actions are being watched, and that the American people demand accountability and respect for democratic norms.
The recent release of individuals convicted for their roles in the Capitol riot is a sobering reminder of the ongoing threat to our democracy. Watching these events unfold is both sickening and frightening, but it is also a call to action. Civic-minded Americans must stand together, peacefully and persistently, to safeguard the values that define our nation.
Thankyou,
Patty Rinehart
It is also kind of silly to try to analyze one video as there are many, many – taken by many – to be found on the internet showing violence in this area. The people living there, in these apartments are so very thankful some law enforcement entities showed up tp stop this. They were giving thumbs up and clapping to see these riots put down. I haven’t checked recently o see what is happening there.
A question is why our TV cable news – does not show this – or maybe it does – I don’t watch it ,but because many here say there is no rioting -( my hair dresser for one), and no troops are needed.
Another question is why do we here think this is OK- I guess it is denial – you don’t see it – therefore it doesn’t exist…… right
Well I have to say that the young know what is going on. And the future belongs to them – we are leaving them a corrupt planet – and at least in Oregon many of these kids can’t read or do math and don’t know history………….how ill they cope?

Cheers!
What a delight!

Wow! Are we lucky! Right here in our own back yard we get to experience the talent of a large group of dedicated musicians. Their music today, under the guidance of conductor Cory Pederson, was uplifting and a joy to hear.
They will be at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts tomorrow, Sunday, Nov 16 at 3pm.
DON’T MISS IT!
For only $10, you too, can enjoy this emotional and wonderful musical journey. The sense of their love of music was palpable and joy of experiencing it with my community soothed my soul and heart.
We are SO lucky. Take advantage.
October was breast cancer awareness month, but that’s not the only month we should care for our breasts or learn more.
Do you have a breast care routine? Do you know which breast cancer risk factors you align with? Knowledge is power. Learning yours as well as steps you can take to steer away from them instead of deeper into them is possible and less scary when we talk about it together.
In this workshop, you’ll learn a massage routine that doubles as self-exams and includes focus on lymphatic drainage, acupressure, reflexology, aromatherapy. We’ll discuss foods that balance hormonal health and clear excess ones from our bodies. You’ll explore introductory moves to fascia freedom from Joy Lymph Flow classes that are particularly beneficial to breast health. Plus a near-infrared light experience.
Come with the name or location of your favorite mountain/s in our area as we honor our own in the name of preventive wellness.
Workshop is 2.5hrs and is only $44

Thanks Gene for suggesting music as therapy. I play favorite classical music on a loop all night long and it really helps me. Sticks in my head during the day too 😉
And for the expose on how Trump is informed (not). He of course lives by TV, notoriously so during Jan 6. Lacking education, which he disdains, he learned to shape reality with performance and playing to audience reaction.
I make recurring donations to ProPublica, they do great work, but learned about the misleading Fox News story back when it happened by reading Australia’s ABC website. At the time no US media were reporting it, just focusing on what Trump was saying about Oregon.
Recently there’s been hope the Epstein scandal will bring down Trump. It won’t – haven’t we learned anything? I think the most effective strategy is to expose what’s behind the curtain (a la Wizard of Oz) like ProPublica did. We need much more of that. One problem is media’s reluctance to report speculation…. Then just label it as speculation to avoid legal hassles. It would still better inform the public than all the free airtime they now gift the administration’s deceptions.
Finally, thanks to Patty for the Astorian article. Current federal agency tactics are abhorrent and unnecessary. The cruelty is unamerican, and I think we’d be more effective countering the administration’s narrative by mainstreaming that term – CRUELTY (and GREED) – rather than talking about less relatable terms like authoritarianism. Also, the total lack of any responses to a plethora of media questions is clearly part of the overall strategy. Tech companies, notably Tesla, have long shown it works for entities with less than honorable intentions.
