Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Way to go, Colorado!!!!

Numbers don’t lie, Faux News “financial” reporters. Keep going out on that broken limb you’re on defending Trumpski policies - you know, the one that’s about to fall as fast as the markets currently are. You’re ridiculous and you know it.

US protestors waved the largest Ukrainian flag in the world in D.C. #3E #USprotests #EndImpunity

“Launch Musk to Mars” and “Democracy Dies with DOGE”. #3E #endoligarchy #teslatakeover #teslatakedown

Elon Musk is demanding an investigation of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. First of all, that means she’s doing her job and speaking truth to power. And of course, Musk and Trumpski only wave the “free speech banner” for themselves and those they agree with. Free speech is a double-edged sword fellas!

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler #skybrary #skybrarians #booksky

One of our best security experts sums it up:

In Colorado, we support freedom, and we will not cater to a brutal Russian dictator who is no friend to America, our interests, or our future. America plays a crucial role in supporting our international allies and protecting democracy abroad; Colorado continues to stand with Ukraine.

Trump and Vance have repeatedly claimed that Zelensky has not been sufficiently grateful for U.S. support throughout the war. We compiled instances where Zelensky has publicly expressed gratitude to the U.S., its people, and its leadership for being Ukraine’s largest supporter.

Clay Bennett nails it.

“We fired all the auditors so they’re not roadblocks to anything that goes missing.”

"Brothers and sisters, that is not the democracy that men and women fought and died to defend." - Bernie Sanders One of the few politicians actually doing something! Go Bernie!

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

I sent Amazon to the “wood chipper” today.The final straw was Alexa quoting Musk as part of its “daily quote” routine. I told them it was a blatant attempt to legitimize a destructive despot and minimize the destructiveness he is committing against our Country. AMZ’s “casual acts of treason” noted

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

At the #50501 protest in Denver today. Very powerful and such solidarity: patriotism and democracy at work!

You keep speaking truth to power. AOC! We live in a Democracy and you are one of the few with the courage to speak out!

Remember when they mocked us for saying that democracy is on the ballot?

It’s been 22 days since I deleted Facebook, Threads, Instagram, and What’s App: aka being “Meta Sober”. (Deleted “X” long ago). I don’t drink the Zuckerberg or Oligarchy Koolaid anymore. It’s my “Cesspool Cleansing Diet”. With brain cells rejuvenated, joining Monday protests at my State Capitol.

This is what integrity and the requisite courage it takes looks like.

The betrayal of our friends and long-term allies by the Trump Administration is beyond vile and just plain stupid! This puts all of us at risk. And why? Money and power, certainly, and its rot at the center of our national soul. God have mercy on us all. I am taking to the streets this Monday.

YES! This.

Whenever things get too much, in the ugliness of what our government has become, I look at beauty of my family, and the goodness of friends until the light within grows strong again. That is the grace of God. “Evil destroys everything, even itself.” In due time, my friends…in due time…

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

I am also the parent of a special needs adult. Oscillating between rage and heartbreak right now.

This guy must have done something egregious like stand up for the Constitution and laws of the United States.

“Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.” We are now in the “Brave” part of that equation. I plan to attend the President’s Day March. Yes, Project 2025’s plan is to unlawfully shut down peaceful protests by false claims so as to declare Martial Law. Don’t fear: they can’t shut up millions of us.

A quote by Ghandi seems appropriate right now: “When I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it: always.”

Listen and don’t panic. Don’t believe Trump. We have power. Don’t let them convince you otherwise. As Timothy Snyder said: “Don’t capitulate in advance.”

Read the letter. Eye-opening. Non-elected Muskolini is essentially staging a coup and saying “Whose going to stop me?” Let’s see Congress grow a spine for once. Thank you Senator Wyden - hope you are heard. We’re in trouble here.

Inspiring story of a brave patriot. Freedom is achieved by the bold. I pray for that kind of courage for all of us in the face of what is happening to or Republic in our own time.
