This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: there have been times when you controlled the House & Senate, yet Republicans still found ways to block your legislation. DO THAT TO THEM! And—since the GOP won’t hold hearings, go home to your districts & hold mock hearings yourselves. Let the people see what’s really up!

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

When asked how Fascism starts, Bertrand Russell replied: "First, they fascinate the fools, then they muzzle the intelligent." 😳👇

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Russian government leading the effort to get Tulsi Gabbard confirmed. "We've got your back, Tulsi", says Russian TV. Trump's nominee for top State Dept job is a Uighur genocide apologist who also thinks America should deliver Taiwan to China. China and Russia LOVE Trump term 2.

It’s hard to overhype how dangerous this moment is. This a naked attempt to seize government by the right wing billionaire class so they can steal from the American people.

Once the Department of Education in America is eliminated, authoritarian fascism should flourish. This is the thesis of Elon Musk and the Trump regime — and they're not wrong. The dumber and more ignorant the populace is, the easier it will be for billionaire oligarchs to manipulate them.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

The United States Congress has surrendered to the coup. The media is acting like it’s a game of opinions. Trump is nothing but a puppet. Musk is the actual President with a bunch of college dickheads running the government.

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes. Right fucking now! How is this even a discussion?

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Once they normalize breaking the rules to go after people who are not citizens of this country, their next phase will be to go after people who are "not the right kind of citizens". By then it will be too late to stop them. Don't let them normalize any of it.

Kamala Harris: NO NEW TAXES on anyone earning under $400,000. Trump: HIGHER TAXES on everyone earning under $360,000. See the difference? 👀

Today we launched a website to track how much orange assface plays golf. We’re guessing this thing is gonna get a workout! Bookmark it. Enjoy! More: TrumpGolfTrack.com

Elon Musk spent $277 million on the election. Now he’s basically running the country and cashing in to benefit his companies, get a massive tax break, and make you pay for it by cutting your health care benefits. Let that sink in for a minute!

Wow. 🔥🔥🔥 This new bombshell Oxfam report is exactly what billionaires don’t want us to know: Apparently 60% of global billionaire wealth comes not from entrepreneurship… …but from inheritance, corruption, cronyism & monopolies. Share the truth:

How much money will ever be enough for these whiny ass billionaires whose mothers or fathers didn’t love them enough so they have to hoard wealth and go out of their way to hurt the people that actually pay taxes? (Some women billionaires and Mark Cuban are exempt from this question)

We're trapped in a game of Monopoly where oligarchs own all the property and the rest of us are simply making our way around the board trying to avoid financial ruin. They've also bought the bank and the government, so they can change the rules to their liking. It's game over or time for a reset.

A good time to restate: Trump CANNOT and DOES NOT see beyond himself. He is NOT strategic - he is transactional. He is a walking talking "id." He only pivots from self-interest, and cannot shut up or stop, even when it serves his interest. He is a dangerous malignant narcissist, OWNED by disorders.

Teachers. Firefighters. Cops. After 44 years of Reagan’s cuts to their Social Security, Joe Biden just restored their benefits. This win for working people came thanks to unions, President Biden, and bipartisan support led by former Rep. Abigail Spanberger.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025: 1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it. www.theframelab.org/how-to-thriv...

There is no one more committed to bringing about the downfall of America than Vladimir Putin. There is no one more self serving than Donald Trump. On any dating site, it's a 100% match.

For people who saw the clip of me advocating for a new opposition movement and are asking for more info, here is the piece I wrote laying it out. I hope you read, share and act. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

Dear Democrats, you could lead the world in post pandemic recovery. Fox News will tell everyone the economy is in crisis. You could add millions of jobs. Elon will tell everyone the migrants are stealing them. You have a massive information flow problem. Deploy counter measures.

Entitled billionaires are cranking up an “in-your-face oligarchy.” Seems you’re never too rich to steal, so families, watch your wallets as they come looting and polluting.

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight. The class wars.
