LISTEN to Barack Obama: The most important office in this democracy is the citizen.

Freedom tomorrow is not a given—it has to be fought for.

It's when watching Obama, JFK and Clinton (I liked slicky boy...) speak, that I remember why the USA led the free world. Now look at Trump, Vance + Musk. Those three make Regan look like a left-leaning Democrat. MAGA has destroyed the USA. It may soon be time for its citizens to fight for democracy.

He is telling us to get off our asses and out into the streets. We are the only ones who can save us! Quit bitching and start marching!!

tkbwcats.bsky.social•1 day ago

He can hit the streets with us but is he?

thepissedoldlady.bsky.social•1 day ago

It would just take focus away from our issues with his Secret Service detail. We ARE the leaders we need.

tkbwcats.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Again people don’t get it! Americans are followers of people hence the popularity of social media. He doesn’t have to neccessarily but any big name should be doing it to help draw larger crowds because their followers would come out in droves to see them.

What he does is irrelevant to what you do or don't do.

tkbwcats.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I’m doing what I do but if did it as well the crowd would be larger. The dan would happen if big names were out there, it how many Americans are sadly they follow a leader.

ryangermann.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Fair enough but there need to be new leaders too. In fact, Obama taking a major role would probably have a chilling effect on some people's actions "Good, Obama will fix it. I can relax."

tkbwcats.bsky.social•16 hours ago

True and Obama earned his time to relax although how anyone can relax right now is beyond me. I think it’s good that people like bookman, aoc, walz and Bernie are out there but for the non politicals there needs to more well known faces , jmo🤷🏻‍♀️

There’s a lot of retired vets that still remember their oath, we don’t recognize our country anymore and we want back the America we believe in!

Good to see Obama and Harris publicly rebuke Trump’s actions

Just wish it was stronger & more frequently

Proud of my alma mater Hamilton College for hosting @barackobama.bsky.social ! #hamiltoncollege

I miss having him as President. No scandals, well spoken and a decent man!

Wish Mr. Obama would have fought for it back in 2016. In retrospect, it’s easy to understand why some Intelligence people were so unhappy with him.

@barackobama.bsky.social I would like a word Sir. They are erasing us. They just threw out 60,000 votes in North Carolina. Texas is refusing to hold elections to keep a Democrat from possibly winning. It's not just us, it's you all too

I’m interested in hearing about this “legal theory” that allows for a third term…

FDR served 4 terms

bluhevn.bsky.social•1 day ago

22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951, limiting a person holding the office to two terms. FDR passed away in 1945.

tkbwcats.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Will not matter to trump there are other loop holes in the 22 adm, such as getting someone else elected and himself vice president which is allowed then having that president step down.

fullerick.bsky.social•1 day ago

And now the streets are filled with people gnashing their teeth and weeping openly due to one orange idiot! Congress stand up to this ruinous acting bankrupt morally and physically person. Be fierce, be brave, be free

Glad that he woke up to comment

ryangermann.bsky.social•1 day ago

I do wish someone with the political savvy could lay out the plan. "If citizens go march in the streets, your representative will {feel something} that makes them {do something, like vote to impeach Trump}"...

What can make them {feel something} sufficiently motivating to {do something}?

jastuart68.bsky.social•21 hours ago

These peaceful protests are what they’re telling us works. These Tesla takedowns have been working, the economic blackout had impact. Right now the Republicans are still on his side and would never vote to impeach so that’s not likely to happen.

This is why it’s in the hands of the citizens!

So far failing at the most basic civic duties.

Start by getting out in the streets TODAY! Then, later, if you haven't already been doing so, bombard your federal and state representatives with phone calls and emails EVERY DAY!! LET'S GO!!!

joni2labs.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well, I am not FOR Putin. I am not happy deserting Ukraine and I really hate the tariffs, especially those on Canada and Mexico. I was happy that my tax dollars supported cancer research. I am not so happy that my tax dollars are supporting trump while he cheats at golf.
