And the fight we have has a compromised referee, a stacked court system, and the public opinion of undereducated and apathetic idiots supporting them.

Handpicked by Steve Bannon to cause maximum damage.

Hoping there are folks within all of these agencies preserving as much as they can in the next two months. Otherwise, when we emerge from the rubble, I guess we’ll be starting from scratch.

justmyvoice.bsky.social•115 days ago

I can't wrap my head around the fact that this clear and lethal threat to our national security is being allowed back in the White House.

jr3597.bsky.social•113 days ago

Indeed.

bobfrench7.bsky.social•114 days ago

We have learned from post-election 2020 that the ultimate threat might come from underlings confirmed by the Senate that Trump can seamlessly move into place.

desertyeti.bsky.social•115 days ago

Every one of these picks has received Putin's express approval. What do you think Musk is hanging around for?

jl3392.bsky.social•109 days ago

My guess: business deals involving natural resources like lithium that Musk needs for thr production of tesla cars.

Just enjoying the attention he bought, as the world’s richest narcissist

dagies.bsky.social•115 days ago

Exactly

Seems like both a reminder and a warning to trump here

I just hope we have the people in congress who will actually have a back bone and fight this craziness. Now is the time to fulfill their oaths.

The coming disaster is going to happen quickly. I see Russian warships on the Potomac and America being annexed as a state of Russia soon. A republic only if you can keep it indeed.

lisa-marieschmidt.bsky.social•111 days ago

I think it is necessary to analyze the pros and cons of this matter.

lauriekafka.bsky.social•115 days ago

What can/should we do????

jl3392.bsky.social•109 days ago

Democrats are not big enough to defeat MAGA on their own.

They need to unite with centrists and traditional non-MAGA Republicans (real Republicans) under the shared goal of defeating MAGA Republicans (fake Republicans who are Russian puppets) and countering Russian interference.

jl3392.bsky.social•109 days ago

To achieve this, Democrats need to shift towards the center.

But most of them still seem unwilling to make this compromise, because their primary focus is still on sociopolitics rather than geopolitics.

Best advice I’ve heard is to keep working with groups in your community that can change the narrative, make a difference.

karencloyd.bsky.social•114 days ago

Find your people and get to work.

karencloyd.bsky.social•114 days ago

I co-chair a local Democratic club in STL County, MO. There are plenty of existing organizations that need leaders and members.

lauriekafka.bsky.social•114 days ago

Going to look into our local D club where we live now. Great idea!!!

lauriekafka.bsky.social•114 days ago

We can each only do so much that way. We need leadership.

magicalmerlin20-0.bsky.social•114 days ago

Leaders will rise with support, President Obama started out community organizing.

lauriekafka.bsky.social•114 days ago

I sure hope so! The first time I heard Obama speak, I knew he’d be President. I talked about it to people who had no clue who he was, & a few months later, people were finding out. It was an amazing time for the American people. I wish I could be that person, but time for younger people to step up.

kristenginger1.bsky.social•114 days ago

@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social, can the 'Orbanization' of the US be stopped? Does anyone you know feel off about DT's previous comments that Mike Johnson "is going to be around for a long time," in light of Orban's tweet that he and DT have "big plans"?

polittlecat.bsky.social•114 days ago

it's both. Can't do the latter without the former.

twospruces.bsky.social•115 days ago

It’s disheartening to believe but you are 💯 right

skeeney563.bsky.social•115 days ago

I'm getting more nervous by the day with what's to come for all of us. 😨

“According to Project 2025, all these people are being installed to PURGE the government. It doesn't matter if they are incompetent because they are DISMANTLING the agencies” Sandi Bachom

protestspb.bsky.social•109 days ago

Learn Russian history of stealing our country. Don't repeat our mistakes. They will use Chinese/North Korean thugs for mass executions (again)

honestweighman.bsky.social•109 days ago

Project 2025 in action.

bristolbanks.bsky.social•114 days ago

HE'S DISMANTLING. When I say it out loud, I'm called "BlueAnon" and "extremist." First, ppl didn't think Hilary could lose. Eight years later, those SAME ppl didn't think Kamala could lose; a WEEK later, the SAME ppl can't believe our Constitution and democratic republic can EVER fall!! 😱

sister4resists.bsky.social•115 days ago

Did he nominate “Butthead” just to cause chaos? Because it seems he might not get senate support. And wouldn’t a lot of that ethics report come out in a hearing? If so who is his real pick?

mamaaintplayin.bsky.social•115 days ago

It just got a whole lot worse 😞

estherclark.bsky.social•113 days ago

Aren't they the same, a Trump loyalist and a putin puppet?

jazzygirl.bsky.social•113 days ago

Yes, there is a lot more that we don’t know yet. Some of the plan is to keep us overwhelmed so he can crime while we are shocked and he goes to the next outrageous thing. We’ve been here before but this time it’s on steroids.

luisapersnik.bsky.social•115 days ago

I’m afraid they will
Move forward with their agenda. But I’m ready to fight back

overthinkering.bsky.social•114 days ago

Millions didn’t fight when it was easy. Can’t wait to see what happens when it’s hard

dcenviro00.bsky.social•113 days ago

What’s the point you’re thinking of? And why is Biden not visibly doing anything about it?

bobledhardtruths.bsky.social•114 days ago

No DOJ? No problem for Trump because there will not be a legal body able to go after him EVERY TIME he breaks a law or violates the Constitution

valwestwood.bsky.social•115 days ago

Who’s going to lead the resistance? How do we fight back if we don’t even have the balls to ask for a recount now??

lauriekafka.bsky.social•114 days ago

Legit point!

mrsinnocente.bsky.social•114 days ago

I’ve suspected for a while that the play is Russia destroying the U.S. without firing one bullet.

pua-iki.bsky.social•115 days ago

Explain Matt Gaetz to us? Not the brightest light, not very productive, spends a lot of time with sex and drugs.

How does he fit into the plot? Destroying DOJ?

pipergirl1122.bsky.social•113 days ago

He will do as he's told. Blind loyalty. That's it for all of them.

mimionthehoops.bsky.social•114 days ago

It's all puttinesca

lorencol.bsky.social•113 days ago

I have an honest question. I voted for Kamala. I am terrified of his revenge and destruction. His picks are mostly insane. Since he had a lot of turnover in first go round, do you think these ppl will come into their positions and then leave where we can get actual competent ppl to go do the jobs???

puestoloco.bsky.social•115 days ago

Are a new senate sessions rules subject to filibusters?

dwaynenealatx.bsky.social•115 days ago

My guess is they are one in the same.

lavenderhoney.bsky.social•115 days ago

We’re gonna need some heroes.

lyngerry.bsky.social•114 days ago

Couldn't agree more.

meandyou22.bsky.social•114 days ago

We know everyone of those dirty slime balls are working for Putin, so we just are okay with that? No need to involve our military? No need to intervene?
