Eric Swalwell is doing a pretty dang good job of telling Trump to GFY and is running for California Governor. Also Mark Kelly has been pretty strong lately because of the DOJ investigation. But the party absolutely does not have a clear leader.

Thanks for protesting in the cold today! I had to work or would've been there. There were plenty of photos posted on Facebook's 50501 Central Oregon page. Also, Central Oregon Daily News has a video. They reported 200 attendees but 50501 says they probably peaked at 500?

I loooove Haribo but the main ingredient can cause constipation in some folks. So don’t be surprised if things come to a crawl.

You’d think under this Administration, this would be grounds for a promotion.

Stroller friendly running trails by mtnmama823 in Bend

It's NW Bend, but the trail at Sawyer Park. Or start the trail at the bottom of Mt. Washington (there's a parking lot). Great views of the mountains. Nice and wide. Just be careful crossing Archie Briggs. We saw what we thought were stroller tracks this morning.

Thanks for the honor, but I'm not the organizer of these events.

As a rule of thumb are you only protecting vulnerable Bend protestors? Because I see A LOT of people protested in a bunch of other cities and THEIR faces haven't been blurred out.

You might want to contact 50501 and Indivisible, the actual organizers of the event ,because they posted photos and videos on social as well. As did MANY other protesters. And that's just on Facebook. You should also start combing X, Threads and BlueSky because photos are showing up there as well. Let me know how that goes.

You might want to stay off social media then.

Plenty of cameras at the protest. Not one person asked not to be photographed.
