Don't listen to everything. That's what they want. Take sime time away, destress and take care of yourself. Come back on your time. It's okay to get away from it.
Exactly!! I will never forget the day he won the first time. "I don't know what everyone is so upset about, we have a Congress and a Senate" even my 19 year old knew that was shockingly naïve. I see jackasery is still a foot. I'm waiting for them to tell us to pray on it.
Don’t speak. Act. Americans need to unite. You need to follow the resistance handbook. There is one, this is not the first time a despot is doing this in history.
Yes! I know I should know better, but I’m still shocked that he “won”! I just can’t believe I’m surrounded by people who support that monster! I will never understand it!
I was speechless initially too. This is the plan of Project 2025: to cause confusion so they can act without opposition. It helped a lot when I watched the zoom put on by Indivisible. You can access this call at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55yf3AstpQI
I’m fighting back now with a plan. I’m not so confused.
You should watch the @ezraklein podcast . I have been trying to post it on here . It is 13 minutes, but omg it explains exactly the plan was all along.
Terrifying .
To have empathy for the plight of others is both a weakness exploited by the powerful and a strength that binds a community. Takes a bit of time for communities to focus and find other allied communities, but it will happen.
I’m posting easy stuff. Normally I write thoughtful things. Prose. Tales of hope. Reminders of the beauty in the wild—wild landscapes, wild souls. But I’m hardly saying anything—passing memes with thoughts similar and easier than my own.
Yeah sometimes you have to take a break. Don't let it consume you. Also don't let this take your spirit. Just be positive and stay in the light not the dark. Be in the present moment. Blessings to you......

@kelseyhightower.com let me give you something to watch. I just discovered today. This has been planned for years. We feel like we're on a hamster wheel because we are trying to catch up. https://youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?si=dURUmm2KzeJDqAj-
The new Trump casino in a beautiful new beachfront location. Palestine gone forever. I’m devastated that so many of my pro Palestinian friends didn’t vote, thinking that it was some meaningful protest. I implored them- I could see the writing on the wall. I don’t know why they couldn’t. 💔
History can and does repeat itself. A attempt at genocide happened to the Native American a holocaust happened in Germany. Rosewood, Tulsa, and Philly bombing of MOVE happened to Black Lives.
Communication to others and seeing the human we are in common. No decent human being wants to be amid crime or violence. (stripping liberties📃🗽) some of djt behaviors seem suspect or nefarious like he's actually dissolving the constitution making edicts of a ruler.
These R rough times that don't seem real because we've never lived among uncertainty or evil such as this.
Lynching was a different kind of evil. Families being sold off from 1 another was a different kind of evil.
Bigotry & racism we've always known N some way What's 2 come we'll never know.
"You have god given right to be"
Only you will you if you have no choice but to make that move to take out the person who may be of threat to take out you.
Stay ready you won't have to get ready.
This country is in economic decline from the billionaire corporates that are hell bent to use elon & djt to do the work of dismantling the government and trash the constitution like the J6ers trashed the building they violated.
Listen to public radio stations like Pacifica Radio stations.
Stay strong, stay positive, I wish you well that you are able to get assurance from being in number of other peaceful resistance.
Your expression/reaction of not knowing what to say or how to feel is the shock and awe component that's done to bewilder you or emotionally distract you.
Chaos, lies, smoke and mirrors, theatrics are the scheme.
Ants can organize QUICKLY. Boycott the Super Bowl. Players and viewers. Demonstrate our power. No performance or break for games. Send a message. WE CONTROL impact and outcome. Manifest our strength. Demonstrate our control of reality and outcome to US and THEM. Plz communicate, share, and act.
UH, THE ONLY WAY TO PROTEST IN A CAPITALIST PIG SOCIETY IS TO STOP THE FLOW OF CAPITAL.
*STOP BUYING EVERYTHING

You're not wrong. But might it not be a little easier in the short term to convince a few players to sit this one out? I mean in terms of influence and effectiveness? From there our confidence in our ability to impact them will grow. Plus, advertising dollars - this would kick them in the pockets.
If you’re unable to make it to a protest today at noon. Please wear blue as an act of solidarity. If you’re going talk the talk you must also walk the walk. Fighting for a cause is rarely convenient but it is essential.
Come on man - it's OK - we're all challenged suddenly in one way or another - you'll get more comfortable as you figure out your of own vibe - I was just 'liking' posts at first and now I'm finding my sea legs...
Understand your dilemma! Besides, I am not sure I can continue with Bluesky because it has a word limit. My writing is a more- concise narrative. Hate to run out of space!
Trump committed crimes live on tv and recorded on calls and he still wasn't jailed and now SCROTUS said he has immunity. And Elon is the richest person in the world so he can shut anything down with a legal tsunami even more so that Trump does.
And you wanted to study each candidate’s platform and give it equal weight before November 5, 2024. What a joke. Now we’re here being tortured and this country being dismantled.
The GOP remains under the influence of the "Kool-Aid" they have consumed... and fearful of what lies ahead with the new regime they have chosen.
Our Republic benefits from the contributions of people from all racial and ethnic backgrounds in cities and towns. We are NOT alone. #WeThePeople
It's cute you are now calling it a Republic, where the last 4 years was just was incessant whining about democracy. But some people knew that democracy meant globalist hegemony, so at least you are getting back to basics.
Happy to discuss more with you. Understanding and supporting each other is what matters most. We have much more in common than we think. Yes, we need changes and improvements in our systems, but always under the law to protect our DEMOCRACY. Agree? #WeThePeople
Personally I don't think democracy needs protecting - it's "two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner". It's the constitution that requires protecting - in that there are lines that cannot be crossed. And agreed that requires cooperation from a large majority.
I get that way often. Hence why I disappear off social media for days. I’m not on holiday. I’m not overwhelmed with work. I’m just stunned & horrified into speechlessness.
Anyone w a R senator or rep, put lots of pressure. A few Rs voting w the Ds could swing the balance and save America. Tell them they will be stars and welcomed as heros by the world (true story!)
I get it. But this is their whole strategy. Steve Bannon even describe the strategy as "muzzle velocity." They are intentionally flooding the space to overwhelm both the system and the public, so that we just back off from sheer exhaustion.
Me too, can you believe this? This is insane. Billions of dollars sent for projects by Democratic politicians and the projects were never even started.
I stopped because I’m so angry if I posted I’d be arrested. I’ll just having to seethe in silence, powerless. Stunned by the Nazi blitzkrieg that ended America.
They don't know.
If they only watch FOX, they think he is just cutting expenses like transgender musicals in Ireland.
They have no clue he sent hackers into the Treasury to steal confidential sensitive info of every American citizen &/or uploaded a virus to destroy the files.
And when you offer factual evidence, like you know his own words and tweets, they dig in more to support him! As someone who was raised conservative and GOP (left that once I went to college and got educated), I truly do not understand their support of any of this! It's just mindblowing.
My FB feed has been flooded with a bunch of BS pro-Elon propaganda pages. There are simps on every one of them propping him up like some benevolent deity figure (not unlike Trump). Times like these i wish the bottom of the gene pool would flush itself.
I usually needle em for awhile until they crawl back into shadows like the creeps they are. Had one tonight cite the BS Ivermectin study from IJOID (Wikipedia for sketchy science) as if any number of actual professional studies debunked the whole thing.
I've given up on respectful discourse and niceties. Too many of the loudest Trumpanzees are scum just like their leader. They need to be called out for what they are.
Yes. I remember the question I asked my nephew back in November , " hey Ryan do you vote? Please tell me you voted for the right female candidate"..
Response.." I forgot to vote" God was I pissed
Hang in there buddy. It’s like going to the gym for the first time in a long while. We are exercising our fight for our democracy muscles which we haven’t used in a long time. It’s really exhausting at first but once we get the hang of it we get stronger and stronger.
I've been saying for decades that this place, today, was inevitable. You don't get a 'United" state of affairs out of building on a foundation of deceit and slaughter and terror and abuse that has barely slowed down the whole while.
I’m English (we are the origin story of the atrocities,I fully recognise) and for the first time a few years ago I thought “bet I’ll see the US end in my lifetime” What happens next is up to us all
you and me both.i can not come up with words to describe how i feel. the closest thing i can up with is the way i felt on 9/11 but it is worse than that. that attack came from without but this is coming from within which makes so much worse
Comments
The age of talking is gone. Do something.
You gotta post scathing witticisms... it's the only way to get through the next (hopefully ONLY) 4 years...

Terrifying .
Actually, I can’t say why I haven’t been posting and that’s why I haven’t been posting. I am self-censoring out of a not irrational fear.
It’s gonna be up to us, the people, to save ourselves.
We all need community, even in the silences.
where are its offices located?
what is its charter?
who are its officers?
where can i find its bylaws, policies, and procedures?
by what authority does it act?
to whom is it accountable?
to what oversight is it subject?
just asking questions"

Stop the killings ,
Communication prospers more than fear and hate.
Like stop and frisk, choke holds, or civilian shooting in police contacts.
Lynching was a different kind of evil. Families being sold off from 1 another was a different kind of evil.

Our ancestors survived Jim Crow, Slavery, and other subjugation along the way to today 2025.
All American business elite know is making money from being a bully, starting war and thievery.
Stay strong, stay positive, I wish you well that you are able to get assurance from being in number of other peaceful resistance.

One could never imagine what is happening now
Left/right is about 50/50.
No one is winning really.
Nothing new here. The rich have attack us all the time.
He will be jailed. They all will.

We've been here before.
Campaign for Democrats. Attack MAGA on social media. We have our part.
PLAY HARD!!!!!!

like what if Governors issue arrest warrants for Musk and his boy band for intimidation/stealing info etc of the fed workers who live in their states.
we need to show up in unexpected ways. & strong
Say something
I’m horrified
There is no need to push myself because I do not want to be toxic and stream this kind of mood in the space.
If they only watch FOX, they think he is just cutting expenses like transgender musicals in Ireland.
They have no clue he sent hackers into the Treasury to steal confidential sensitive info of every American citizen &/or uploaded a virus to destroy the files.
And I'm not letting them forget it's all on them
