My daughter is a trans woman and I fear for her safety. I am absolutely livid that her freedoms have been erased and a target put on her. I stand with you and all trans folx as cis gender woman. ✊ You matter. 💕

Not worried about tomatoes. Worried that you are sitting on your hands while TRUMP/MUSK tear apart our democracy

laurenk77.bsky.social•21 days ago

We must Scream constitutional crisis together. Do not let them cause chaos and confusion. Remember we FAR outnumber them! Let’s do this to take back our country. Sign and share! Let’s show them how many there are of us ! We need to organize and start somewhere!

Wait til Musk turns off Soc Sec payments, Medicare benefits, Veterans benefits and gets ALL of our info. I am much more worried about that. You should be too. Tomato prices won't matter then, cause none of us will have funds to buy them. And we will be homeless. Get real.

nightstirrings.bsky.social•21 days ago

I am worried that you are not taking action to stop Musk.

nightstirrings.bsky.social•21 days ago

And that you don't seem to want to take actions to curtail what is happening with his takeover. This is appalling.

loribedell.bsky.social•21 days ago

You know what I'm worried about, Senator Schumer? I'm worried about you and the rest of your colleagues not standing up to Trump in every possible way. I'm worried about you deciding that you'd rather go home for the weekend than stay and fight. I'm worried about democracy. Meet the moment, damnit.

jadehawk.bsky.social•21 days ago

no, i'm not worried about tomato prices; i'm worried about musk getting access to everyone's confidential social security information, i'm worried about trans people being denied passprts, i'm worried about the attacks on disabled people.

but not about tomatoes, no.

jadehawk.bsky.social•21 days ago

i'm worried about the fact that trump has turned guantanamo into a concentration camp for migrants, not about fucking tomatoes.

stop posting like it's 1996!

larsmaischak.bsky.social•21 days ago

Somebody must have told him the commoners are concerned about "the economy," which apparently has something to do with tomatoes.

evenicholls.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'm absolutely worried that more people won't be able to afford food, which is a complex issue. He just sounds like he's making jokes about tomatoes.

Also the people most at risk of food poverty are the ones being targeted out of racism, xenophobia, ableism, transphobia and so forth.

No one is worried about tomato prices. We’re worried that Musk has access to our social security numbers. What are you going to do about it? What’s the plan?

helloandrew.bsky.social•20 days ago

I mean look tomato prices affect me personally every day but right now that's not what's important. What's important is some non-governmental thugs with a long track record of crime have taken over the government and are about to do untold and irreversible damage to everything.

totoroandscience.bsky.social•21 days ago

I was living in Venezuela in 1998 when Chavez was elected. There’s a lot to worry about, but food shortages can happen rapidly. I also expect elected politicians to be doing more than posting ‘I told you so’ comments about tomatoes.

antizionistbearjew.bsky.social•20 days ago

I mean, the CIA doesn't usually meddle in the affairs of the US, so many of the issues Chavez faced won't apply to us

totoroandscience.bsky.social•20 days ago

Hopefully not, but you can’t deport the people who plant, harvest, and process the food while also expecting to have affordable food and abundant grocery shelves.

antizionistbearjew.bsky.social•20 days ago

True. I dunno how Chavez is relevant to any of that, though

totoroandscience.bsky.social•20 days ago

Maybe it didn’t hit your newsfeed back then, but after his election everything got so disrupted that food supplies were a big problem for the general public rather quickly.

stevemcilhatton.bsky.social•20 days ago

lol, I think you mean PREVIOUSLY the CIA didn’t usually meddle in the affairs of the US…

No one presently thinks those are problems or blame Trump for them. I understand that is madness, but it’s the truth.

helloandrew.bsky.social•20 days ago

Also, this assertion you've made is provably factually false. Please remember that Trump didn't even get a majority of the votes, let alone the people who didn't turn out.

helloandrew.bsky.social•21 days ago

that’s why our leaders need to stop posting about trivia that magas don’t believe either and start taking TV cameras down to the Treasury building and physically show us how Elon’s goons have locked everyone out and are literally stealing America’s money!

nomnomnomdeplumb.bsky.social•21 days ago

So, rather than explaining why people should care, making a strong case for both the rule of law and the importance of the function of government, is counterproductive. Especially since people typically know those things when people in government tell them or do you think the right doesn't do that?

jasonpcarter.bsky.social•20 days ago

If we can find a way to convince people, sure. Many people really don’t care as long as there are negative consequences that directly impact them. You need to make that case

freethinker65.bsky.social•20 days ago

No one cares about the price of tomatoes. An unelected South African electric vehicle manufacturer stealing your data and retirement money might get some attention.

Those two things will accomplish exactly nothing. They will just change the rules and proceed as normal.

One small problem: A LOT of the US's worst old farts are young. Tons of 'em under 50. JD Vance, MTG, Nancy Mace, Hawley, Boebert, Gabbard, Hegseth. Elon Musk is only 53; so's Kristi Noem. Even Jim Jordan is just 60, and Pam Bondi is 59.
