"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service...We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor.” - Claude Malhuret

Whole thread is spot on, couldn't agree more.

Before the election, Elon said there was going to be some pain.

Only SOME of us anticipated what he meant. What he really meant.

There is only one member of Congress who announced new articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.

Only one member of Congress who literally stood up to Donald Trump.

At 78 years old, the Texas Congressman shows he's a better fighter than anyone else.

@algreen.house.gov is a hero.

That's my representative. Very happy to vote for him.

Impeach Trump! NOW!!!

djrothkopf.bsky.social•13 days ago

When Trump said that there will be "a little disruption" but "we're ok with that" who do you think the "we" referred to? Certainly not us. It meant that when the job losses, the market losses, the recession and the inflation starting crushing you...Trump, Musk & the billionaire cabinet don't care.

Dems need to hammer this point home as each disturing economic indicator hits, as each trade war induced price hike takes place, as mass layoffs gut government agencies and then as vital US economic assistance to those in need and who are entitled to it is snuffed out. They don't care.

They're doing this to enrich themselves. How about we don't cut services to Americans and we don't cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and we don't fire hard working federal employees for no good reason and instead we don't give tax cuts to the rich & we don't provide more corporate welfare?

This is not an abstract national story. This is a story impacting your families, friends, neighbors, neighborhoods, and communities and that's where we need real leadership and clear communication. That's where the midterms will be one. That's where democracy will be saved.

Stop looking to the inert Dem leadership in DC and start being the opposition leaders this country needs right where you live--on your school board, on your town council, in town halls, running for Congress, using your social media platforms to drive home what's really happening here.

“In 2014, after months of popular protests, Ukrainians ousted Yanukovych from power and he fled to Russia.”
🇺🇸Americans should do the same. Send Trump and Musk back to Russia. Show up!

Rich white men have done a hostile take over of the US government and are selling it off for parts--profiting themselves, further enriching themselves, and aiding our enemies along the way. This is not Trump 1.0. This administration is much worse.

The nice thing about bubbles is they can be easily popped.

A little disruption to their revenue stream is what he meant as prices skyrocket and our savings are wiped out

And that is why every single Democrat needs to get over their fear of guns and get armed, because if our Democratic leaders don't grow spines and step up, we WILL have to exercise our second amendment rights.

We "little folks" need to start bursting that billionaire bubble. It's time for some real trouble.

The American electorate is the problem. After Trump(ism) is defeated the American system of governance needs to be reorganized. 46% of the electorate is unpersuadable. They knew exactly who Trump was when they re-elected him.

mercmwr.bsky.social•13 days ago

True to a point, except for proliferation of :
• misinformation
• disinformation
• voter suppression
• gerrymandering
• media complicity

liberalfederalism.bsky.social•13 days ago

Let’s pretend. The American people had no idea who Trump was and what he would do in 2024. Delusional!!46% of the American electorate is unpersuadable. The Center Left Coalition cannot continue to fool themselves into a reality that does not exist.

Why can’t Dem leaders say this loud and clear?

scottgoeke.bsky.social•13 days ago

“a little disruption”

=

“we’re going to drive unemployment high enough not just to stop, but to reverse all the wage growth under Biden”

scottgoeke.bsky.social•13 days ago

“we would like to permanently decrease he labor force so much that forced labor for gruel and an overcrowded cell to sleep in is aspirational for many Americans”

My interpretation is that he was directing "a little disruption" to the 1% as I doubt he gives a hoot about the rest of us. It s going to be tough on the 1% on profits and CEO bonuses for awhile but they will gladly put it on the working Joes and Janes to make it up.

As if almost everything I've heard or read from the GOP/MAGA Christian nationalists in the last 2 years has not been warning enough.
