We'll have a Jesse Owens before Hitler opportunity today. What message will the athletes and celebrities give? “End Racism” vs. “Choose Love.”,,, there’s no competition here at all. It’s “End Racism” by a mile." Steve Buckley, NYTimes https://bit.ly/42N1pAU
That GD Stoopreme Quart‼️ everyone of those men needs to be impeached‼️🤬 I cut Amy some slack for not agreeing on the “president can do no wrong” bull 🐂 💩‼️
People used to get out and fight for democracy instead of posting sayings and memes.
Jus sayin
I’m seeing democracy slip through our fingers. No one’s fighting for it.
Spreading truthful information to shed light on the lies transmitted by corrupt politicians through their controlled mainstream media is another form of fighting. It's informational warfare. Meanwhile, there have been strikes in each state, lawsuits, Democrats speaking for 30 hours straight, etc...
It's only so much you can do without putting your hands on people, which would only give more justification to their followers. Everyone has a role, and each role must be filled if we want to beat them collectively
We should have pulled a South Korea the moment they started kicking out legit gov employees. Alas, I don't think Schumer could climb a wall with bad hip, poor eyesight, etc.
Always choose the bear. If you assume that all men are deplorables, it means you’ll be right 90% of the time, and pleasantly surprised in the remaining balance.
It took me 30 years fighting men like Abbott, detectives and even the TX rangers to get justice for my daughter who was kidnapped, held and murdered by a white male predator. So, yes, I get pissy where this kind of man is in power. Sorry 😣
Wow. I was sexually abused as a child (incest from age 6 to 11) and honestly, I prefer that to what you went through. I bow to your stubborn determination! You have all my sympathy and my awe.
According to the official government narrative indeed. They left out the part where USAID was looking into Starlink contracts because the politicians forming the government, who we must trust, say everything is fine, no conflict of interest.
Americans should quit talking and deal with Musk as much as he is giving you guys grief
Defund him by cutting off all his government contracts, deport him to SA as he is an illegal immigrant and get back to your normal lives
Except that MAGA Republicans are in control of the 3 branches of government & they all answer to that orange idiot. . We don't have the power to do any of what you suggested.
tRump is in control of Musk's contracts. tRump's in control of whether Musk is here illegally or not.
That wasn't done on their own, they got help from a lot of people. What Trump did to this Country, you don't end up where Trump is today without help from people in high places. Now, why are politicians and the Media treating what's happening in the Country like it's normal political shit?
Thought it might work better. Believe I’ve seen the same thing a number of times in the past. Kinda feels like ur trying to shame people and I just doubt shame works on here. Everyone shames everyone else on social media. Just a suggestion. No offense intended
Well I hope if you lose your vision at 74 or later, people you follow will use alt text to make their content accessible to you, rather than just shrugging about it.
More flies with honey. Ur never gonna convince anyone by using shame. Social media is filled with it and no one changes their mind because someone else is calling them names or wishing them harm
Thomas Paine was a wise man. Too bad educators are probably not going to be able to introduce his words to their students, if tRUMP has his way. Such a shame. I value my "Liberal" Arts education. Sad to see that concept slipping away.
Tommy was spot on with that.
Must always have checks and balances that create transparency for the people to understand what is occurring in the Governance of their Society.
💯 Yes! This! If there's a democracy left around here in 4 yrs, maybe SCOTUS members should go to a single 10 year term.
The lifetime tenure concept is a dated blindspot that should be amended.
I don't think we should accept whatever they decide just because a bunch of senators liked them during an interview. They need to go if they fail to make rulings that are good for the people.
If justices are not prosecuted for crimes committed, the court remains irrelevant regardless who or how many sit the court.
A country with a criminal court, is not a country which is why the Koch Brothers corrupted it.
The only way I see this working, some very public tribunals.
Hire retired judges or those with a record of fairness and start prosecuting folks.
We can do this by creating militias. That 2nd Amendment is going to come in handy.
Preferably near some sturdy oaks.
We (and the DNC) need some good organization. Career FBI, CIA, and even former presidents might need to be part of this. We're in unprecedented times. Regular elections (if they even take place and are fair and accurate) won't be enough. A shadow govt might be our only solution.
Hi Stephen. Single dad of special needs child here. I wrote a novel about ghosts in Japan and you were a big inspiration. Please give it a read and a signal boost if you like. And it is weird enough I think you'll love it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTJBVP7N
Please, let me interject, Trump wants and is expecting violence because then he can call Marshall law and at that point he will have almost total control
No, it just means that ‘capital crimes’ such as murder can be punishable by death, and they want to pander to trump by shoehorning illegal immigrants into the ruling. “Well if illegal imigrants aren’t a problem, how come this law we just wrote mentions them?”
We’ll race them to it. He wants an excuse to declare Martial law? Fine, let’s see how many USA soldiers are actually prepared to fire on American civilians. Si vis pacem parabellum.
HARRY! Tell everyone that they can can now access all federal websites that have been taken down/scrubbed since Jan 20th!

What is due process?
Due process is the constitutional guarantee that the government cannot deprive a person of life, liberty, or property without fair legal procedures and protections.
We should have seen this coming when they started banning books, when Jan 6th happened, when trump quoted Hitler, when we saw that he had a cult. There were a lot of clues.
Thomas Paine does not get nearly enough credit for his ideas. He was well ahead of his time and incredibly insightful. Indeed one of the most under-appreciated philosophers.
It's not like crimes weren't committed that Trump could have been jailed for. Our feckless, corrupt justice system just loathes punishing the affluent.
Blutexans surrounded by maga hv learned a thing or 2. This has only left us cutting them all out.
They're acting as if this is the greatest accomplishment of all time.
Not 1oz of shame that we've built this country for over 2 centuries, only 2 hv billionaire's decide it's there's to dismantle.
Thomas Jefferson to Uriah Forrest in December of 1787.
“…This last is the most certain and the most legitimate engine of government. Educate and inform the whole mass of the people, enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve
peace and order, and they will preserve it,
and it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.—After all, it is my principle that the will of the majority should prevail. If they approve the proposed constitution in all it’s parts,
I shall concur in it cheerfully, in hopes they will amend it whenever they shall find it works wrong. This reliance cannot deceive us, as long as we remain virtuous; and I think we shall be that, as long as agriculture is our principal object, which will be the case while there remain
vacant lands in any part of America. When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become corrupt as in Europe, and go to eating one another as they do there...”
I call this prophecy!
We will not know any real numbers:
Employment
Unemployment
Epidemics (already squelching bird flu and tuberculosis,which have spread)
We will not be able to trust anything.
@cnn.com @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @usatoday.com @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @nbcnews.com will pretend it’s normal.
Donald Trump is a rapist. He rapes everything he touches. He raped his father's legacy, his kids' childhood, contractors' payments, raped his 1st wife, raped shareholders, over 20 women, raped Ukraine, raped Christianity, the constitution & now our country. He won't stop until he's horizontal.
They were thinking “Americans would never be dumb enough to elect a corrupt rapey buffoon whose fiscally bound to - and therefore compromised by - our greatest geopolitical enemy, who would destroy everything we created for a fast buck and an ego boost”…
Given MAGA has drunk the “meritocracy” Cool-Aid, why don’t we put a simple ten question intelligence test into the voting process? Only people who get 60% or higher are allowed to vote?
Obviously this wouldn’t happen, as it would exclude 90% of all Republican voters.
Thanks, I was looking for a descriptions that encompassed the Republicans in the House, in the Senate Senate, the SCOTUS maga 6, and the entire Trump administration. Very versatile.
Only people that trust these maniacs Trump and Musk are the MAGA CULT. But they will be so sorry and broke and sick by the time they realize how stupid they were for voting them back in office. They will be miserable. TOO LATE
It's about damn time I see some Paine! It's a shame that he a Jefferson have been left out of history classes. But then america would look very different and be a much better place had those two be listened to.
THIS RIGHT HERE!
This is what the founding fathers of our Nation knew could destroy this fragile experiment of ours! Immortality, lawlessness, theft & their double standards! How long can we play their game?? I am so frustrated and I've never felt hate like I do for the 1st Mister & His 🍊 buddy..
The Founding Father that should be required reading and yet gets left in the past until one needs a bit of wisdom about treason, revolution and liberty. Ironically, the man being a British tax agent thus a precursor to our IRS would demand we all follow the money, forensically Musk is stealing.
If you have any clue about what about what the Colonists went through to create our nation; true Patriots would be standing up to this lawlessness. Protect the Constitution. Unfortunately we have become a nation of undereducated, uninformed, and greedy people. Paine would find it unimaginable.
who are these men, all lust, greed, and glory, rip off the mask, and let's see,,, those are lines from the song Crime of the Century, artist Supertramp
The magots' argument is that they are looking at cutting out government waste. 1. I do not trust a billionaire with my personal information that has no security clearance. 2. They could have asked for an independent audit done to find this out.
Oh they do… they agreed to the coup because they know the violence these people will bring to this country when time comes and opposition tries to defend our constitution.
It’s in motion and it is just a matter of time.
I'm sure the world today would seem like an alien landscape to them... I'd love to see them set a few of these idiots straight on what they intended when they wrote the constitution...
"we didn't fight off an idiot king so you could elect one..."
Are the actions from the White House really what republican lawmakers want and support? They need to find some backbone and control their leader. Our democracy is dying to extreme fear, greed and ignorance.
Republicans, Christian nationalists, tech bros and project 25 are all in this together. They've been planning this takeover since the 1960's watch Bad Faith and The Family - explains what is happening now and why

Who is there to see to it that they don't rob us blind?
Who is there to see to it that they don't put every bit of information into AI or worse?
There isn't anyone.
Jus sayin

They could have reported something to another agency with that capability.
Perhaps you fell for some fake news.
I’ve been aware of Mike Benz and his reporting for quite a while.
It’s nice to see the curtain pulled back for the normies though.
Defund him by cutting off all his government contracts, deport him to SA as he is an illegal immigrant and get back to your normal lives
tRump is in control of Musk's contracts. tRump's in control of whether Musk is here illegally or not.
ATM he needs his $$.
Why bother posting, indeed.

All the right-wing types screwed this up. How do we get out of it? Is there a Marshall Plan for us? Trials and charges at the Hague?

Why does Trump hate USAID?
Because he's transactional
& there's nothing in it for him.
Same will apply to many other programs he can't understand.
They'll make up ugly lies & conspiracies to smear other programs as they did to USAID.
