If someone on national TV asked you "What has Trump done in the last 4 weeks that you find most concerning?" would you just say, "He hasn't lowered prices." Or is there anything else you might mention about the last month?

that he's trying to erase me, and other underrepresented groups, including women, from the history books of America. his DEI vendetta to limit opportunities for everyone to equitably pursue inclusive economics is deplorable.
Meanwhile I’m begging folks to watch the “Dark Gothic MAGA” video and the Behind the Bastards eps. about Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel, and to finish up by looking at the work of https://electiontruth.bsky.social letting folks know that votes were hacked & that this is all part of a technofascist agenda 😅
Only one? It's a 3-way tie between disregarding our Constitution & rule of law, allowing an unelected billionaire to destroy our government and access classified & personal data, and on the world stage he's isolated us from our allies and left us vulnerable
The fact that he continues to breathe is most concerning. As long as he continues this activity, it creates other unpredictable concerns. If there's a way to get him to voluntarily stop breathing...🤔
Exactly this, but prices are clearly what the Dem leaders have chosen to focus on when they speak publicly. These folks are not ready for this moment and are failing badly. Unfortunately we all will pay the price for their cowardice.
Sad to me how few of us (myself included) have mentioned terrorizing trans people.
So many hornets coming out of this nest that they are whacking steadily and repeatedly.
3 way tie:
Pardon over 1,000 violent insurrectionists
Put a nazi in charge of every govt department
Offer to hand Gaza and Ukraine to real estate developers, mining interests and fascists.
He's enacting the widely unpopular and disavowed Project 2025, a project linked to the billionaires who have been corrupting Texas into an Evangelical autocracy.
I would start with him metaphorically burning the constitution and handing the Federal government to a Nazi oligarch.
Then probably remind people that a lot of what we enjoy and treasure about our freedom and safety was paid for in blood.
Made it clear that DEI and "wokeness" is the one true enemy of his loyalists. They seem to consider this synonymous with the left and have weaponized it. He is taking an authoritarian approach to suppressing dissidents as made clear by his recent message on the white house website - "follow the law"
I'd say, that besides everything that he/they has/have done, my most important concern is for my health & general well-being. I don't feel safe being alive in the US. It should be against The Constitution & illegal to act in ways that are a threat to citizens' physical & mental health. 😒💜🤝
If I were minority leader of the US House of Representatives, I might well answer as Jeffries did on ABC. Not suggesting that these responses are not wrong, however.
Threats to impeach judges who are stoping his unconstitutional power moves. Him handing over his job to unelected foreign with no supervision. Oh he firing organizations that keep America safe like backing, food and health. He is following p2025 to the letter and we are on a grave path.
Easy. He froze my bank accounts with the attack on federal programs. I am a climate scientist and startup ceo commercializing the next generation of sustainable materials that will replace toxic plastics. That attack didn’t just mean the work stops. It threatened my team’s ability to make rent!
Trump is trying to take us back to the middle ages. To a place where only he matters.
Are we going to fight him or kiss his ring?
We are the ones who will determine the outcome!
In no particular order: firing federal employees, dismantling USAID, rollback of transgender protections, termination of DEI programs, tariffs, awful cabinet appointments, threatening our allies, abandoning Ukraine, appeasing Russia, dumb shit like renaming the Gulf of Mexico… and more.
Had Elon Musk take over government and especially access Treasury payment. What's to say Musk, once he's gotten control, doesn't kick Trump to the curb?
Randomly harassing and firing federal employees with absolutely no concern about what the consequences will be for American society or its economy. Apparently just so they can pass a tax cut through reconciliation.
Bluesky format won’t let me write all the words it takes to answer your question. So simply I answer, he is targeting everything that has helped the people he lied to throughout his campaign. If you aren’t a billionaire or big corporation, he’s targeting everything that helps you.
The host asked questions in a way that gave the Rep space to scream about the lawless dismantling of our gov't and musk's conflicts of interest and doge's access to information -- but the Rep didn't go there at all. Unbelievable. That will be the subject of my next call to my Senators and Rep.
Moving the Overton window. We are somehow :
- Now ok with unqualified cabinet members.
- Ok with a captured major political party
- Ok with repeating the dangerous isolationism that made WW2 possible
- Ok with the deaths of fellow Americans, as long as it also owns the libs
He and his band of band of hackers have harvested vast amounts of financial, medical and personal data of American citizens with zero clearance and zer accountability to ANYONE.
That's a very good litmus test question because as everyone knows and forgets every 4 years anyways - usually presidents do not actually control the economy, though they can create better conditions for recovery (something Trump isn't doing).
If you have been ignoring everything else though...
It's like the country is TWA or Sears. We've been bought by a private equity firm and it's rapidly selling/killing off the assets until it's time to throw out the carcass.
Dems are stuck in the "it's the economy, stupid" paradigm. It's an easy, lazy way to politic, but it works fairly well normally, because the economy is 99% of the time a top3-5 important issue to the widest swath of voters.
So much else. Purging federal employees without regard to the consequences, strong arming the world, threatening every fiber of our democracy and dismantle constitution. For starters.
It’s the CFPB for me. It’s one of the things that did nothing but help regular people not get scammed by corporations. There was no reason to go after it unless you really just want to see consumers abused by corporations.
Invasion by Musk into agencies. Cutting federal staff. Taking power designed for Congress. Undermining our allies. Putting Americans abroad in danger. Oh and the absolute fu**ing violation of the Constitution, which he swore an oath to abide by!!
My question is, when does Congress move to squash this takeover? Observing and reporting and pointing fingers is not a plan and waiting too long to intercede aggressively is at risk of losing the country. What am I missing?
I beg to differ; Trump won the election because ‘eggs’ were the main topic in social media that propelled millions of voters to cast their votes for Trump. Trump promised his fans that he, and he alone, would lower egg prices on his first day in office.
I totally agree! Unfortunately, MAGA folks seem to prefer simple explanations. If they had a better grasp of Joe Biden’s achievements, our country wouldn’t be in the shape it is now.
Wrong Dem leaders for wrong constitutional crisis 🙄Dems should overthrow Mo & Shmo (Jeffries & Schumer). AOC should challenge Jeffries for leader & lead Twitter Boycott. X shouldn’t be state media. Lawsuit against govt posting official announcements on X! Post on all platforms: including BLUESKY!
Hard to choose lol but I’d say allowing Musk to rampage through our government and attempt a coup. He has hurt so many, but especially US farmers, fed workers, and veterans.
It's hard to name just one, but the worst for just being stone cold stupid - renaming Gulf of Mexico, not really his stupidity but the fools who jump in head first to an empty pool to acquiesce to his demand. Yeah I'm talking to you Google and Apple.
Where does one start? He pardon 1500 criminal. He put a madman in charge of cutting the entire government. He fired how many FBI agents. His shadow president stole all our information from the treasury. He is trying to steal Gaza from the Palestinians. We’ve become an embarrassment to the world. Etc
Donald Trump and his whole horrible administration is totally corrupt and detestable! Disgraceful! Sickening...🤮 Anyone who voted for or supports Trump should go straight to hell! How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Letting an idiot run the health department, risking the lives of children, the elderly, everyone while simultaneously slashing research efforts that provide the evidence of evidence based medicine. Gutting pandemic response teams (again) essentially signing death certificates for Americans.

I would say firing all those people we need to keep our govt running. And extracting all of our personal information. And his disastrous foreign policy. And setting up a concentration camp at gitmo. And deporting farm workers. And firing our nuclear experts. And on and on, Not one good thing.
But, but, tRump is taking down the "corrupt establishment" to make us all happy..... Oh wait, eggs are up by dollars and all food prices have rocketed! Restaurants are charging more! I can't talk to agencies any longer for help - they're gone! WTF?
(Y'all voted for this, so suffer in silence, ok?)🙄
Soon, the cost of eggs won't matter at all. We'll all be more worried, at each meal, that if we eat something, we might get sick from it. And that's immediately sick as in e coli or eventually sick as in cancer.
And this doesn't matter at all to magats! I sincerely hope that SOMEONE can start the ball rolling to stop these maniacs - but I think it's going to be US who have to resist, revolt, make good trouble and stand up to this terror whenever possible!
Well, it’s a good question. Rife with corruption, bereft of legislative accomplishments, helpless against a pandemic killing thousands every day, Trump’s first term ended with him getting more votes in 2020 than he had in 2016.
There are other ways of looking at this, of course. Polls only get answers to the questions they ask, not to the ones they don’t. The questions they ask are usually questions they’ve asked before. Opinion polls have always asked about the economy.
Maybe public opinion polls and media commentators will get around to asking about Musk, the Nazis, and corruption, or about the destruction of entire government agencies. But they’re both part of an election campaign-centric industry, so it may be a while. It may be years.
I have no interest in reaching out to people whose biggest concern right now is the price of their eggs. We need 12 million to march, and they're not gonna march over that.
I would not even know where to start. My response is, "OMG, so many things, so, so, so many. Where to start" Then I'd start listing. First on the list is eliminating USAID!!!!!!
He wants to bypass judges holds...his Minion Musk getting into the National Treasury..and the Social Security system....sending Piggy Vance..to "Talk Down "..to our EuropeanAllies
"Set up the next economic crash."
Biden had the economy humming. Trump has scrapped what he could and charged in the opposite direction.
With tariffs, deportation, cutting the workforce and grants and USAID, nonstop chaos (bye bye business investment), the crash is certain. Why not say so?
The admin is continuously killing thousands of jobs. Not only are those individuals and their families in jeopardy bc of unemployment and benefits loss, but their work kept American lives safer, smoother and manageable at home and abroad. We will all suffer the consequences of their illegal firings
Re-jump starting the Nazi Germany era erasure via ‘digital book burnings’ etc is WAY above groceries on the concern list for me. Day 1 he came out and said a whole 1% of the population doesn’t exist. Now all mentions of trans folks have been removed from the CDC websites, Stonewall’s history, etc.🏳️⚧️💔
Every single one of the trans people that his administration attacks is an American too 🇺🇸🏳️⚧️ just as much as anyone else is.
We are all people just like you, but we’re being used as an easy scapegoat to stir up free hatred, panic, and control. Don’t let them lie to you about us 🩵🤍🩷
His complete disregard for the laws & the Constitution with NO regard for the negative impacts his actions are having on the citizens he swore to protect. He is using the executive branch as if it controls the judiciary & legislative branches. NOT YET! HE MUST BE STOPPED!
Trump has spent his first 4 wks
#SquanderingAmericasGreatness
#DonaldDuce has
- made us less safe individually and as a nation.
- alienated allies and struggling nations around the world by trying to end humanitarian aid thru USAID
- gutted a gov’t fine-tuned to help people
- installed oligarchy
OMG. I am overwhelmed. Then I see a clip of Musk & X on Tucker Carlson 3 hours before the election was called. Can’t stop thinking that the kid gave it all up “they’ll never know”. And nobody noticed…
Everything he has done, allowed to be done, encouraged or incited. I can't pin down just one thing so it's everything he & his cronies have done, said or encouraged.
That he, the Repugs, and their voters are dismantling our government. I have long said the Repugs are not interested in governing EVER but only to break the government. Well, here we are.
The election was not about eggs when he shouted mass deportations & I am your retribution!
Allowing X to write code in federal computers systems.
Empowering Vance to go & Bully NATO & Europe!
Firing people who are responsible for our nuclear ☢️ safety … those workers protect not only us but 47 , too!
We have yet to see the ripple effect of these actions. That’s just a start …
Humans to Guantanamo and giving Elon Musk access without proper vetting, indicating a move toward the primacy of the Executive branch or actual Authoritarianism. It's a very short walk from where we are to losing our constitutional rights in a country of the people, by the people, for the people.
Serious me is especially pissed about a bunch of unvetted kids mucking about in our personal data, terrorizing immigrants and trans folks, gutting civil service, and muzzling public health.
Petty me is pissed that a silly Valentines gift ordered weeks ago is stuck in Canada due to tariff drama.
Taking hard working families that help make America function, back to their 3rd world country, instead of implanting programs to help them become citizens

Curtis Yarvin & Peter Thiel as shadow masters to the Republican Party. (Get those name out their base.)
Those two's public statements about how to destroy the USofA.
Then tie it into Trump's actions to do just that, and the lies he told to get reelected.

In an emergency - shop locally.
RESIST!

Creating world instability
