By stating the simple truth out loud--almost universally avoided among American politicians (except for @sanders.senate.gov, @aoc.bsky.social, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @jamieraskin.bsky.social)--Zelensky poses a direct challenge to Trump lies & Putin. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

"Americans who brandish Nazi symbols do so partly because they are unable to conceive of what life would actually be like in a fascist state. Supporters of autocracy who cheer Donald Trump have no understanding of what it means to live under an autocratic government" www.thetimes.com/article/b3bb...

President Z may be a better politician than any of the present Democratic Party leaders--short, pithy, smartly symbolic take in a capsule phrase. Too bad all the billion $ corporate political consultant complex can't figure this out. www.cnn.com/2025/02/19/e...

So ~30% of Americans fully or mostly support Trump's policies since Jan 20--Pew poll. About the same % that supported Nixon in summer '74, just before he resigned. If Dems can't rally the majority, and media can't tell the true story, neither deserve our support or $$$. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

It's interesting to me that not one national Democratic leader of consequence has used such plain, truthful language to describe our con-artist chief of state on a regular basis. Or more importantly too his face in a debate or other encounter.

If you don't see trash picked up, restrooms cleaned and few if any employees when you visit National Parks or National Forests this year, speak out. Trump/Musk just fired 200,000+ fed employees w/1 year or less service. (many NP/NF emps are seasonal hires) gift article: www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

We could use more of these 3 min call outs by respected public officials. It would be even better if they interrupted TV shows with brief minutes call outs. Legitimately calling it an emergency announcement with each illegal act by Trump and Musk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrE0...

CNN runs explainers about what the Constitution says-while avoiding mentioning how T continues his con-man patter: “Judges should be ruling. They shouldn’t be dictating what you’re supposed to be doing,” Trump told radio host Mark Levin... www.cnn.com/2025/02/10/p...

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying. pepfarimpact.vercel.app

This WaPo story points out lots of excesses by Musk-bro team. But nowhere does it mention that "Department of Govt Efficiency" does not exist. It's pure marketing BS by the Musk-Vought-Trump team. (Hint: "Departments" are created by actual legislation.) www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Agree 100%. There will be some injunctions coming into view/force this week. If Trump refuses to obey them, that would be widely believable prima facie case for impeachment IMO.
