Some history to wrap up Black History Month. "40 Acres & a Mule" was a reparation plan that was fulfilled and then snatched right back. revealnews.org/topic/40-acr...

Trump: We're gonna root out the radical leftists, Marxists, communists, woke mob, fascists, and illegals. Us: and the Nazis? ....

Heard an interview with Senator Fetterman. He helped answer all my questions about how Trump thinks except one... When did Trump have his stroke?

Look. If Trump wants to make a REAL deal for Ukraine it should be that we march in troops to kick Russia out and THEN Maybe Ukraine will share some of their natural resources with the US... after Trump apologizes for being an ass.

Are we picking sides now? Or do we have to wait for some arch-duke assassination before we re-enact WWI?

Democracies are struggling worldwide because so many of the the documents upon which they were founded depend on the honorable intentions of the government servants elected to serve. When servants insist on ruling, democracy falters.

The list for screening calls to @johnfugelsang.bsky.social 's show just got longer... Who won the 2020 election? What words of Jesus does MAGA support? Are Nazis bad? Who invaded Ukraine?

The challenge of being a person who doesn't think empathy is a "sin" is that we can view Trump, his Cabinet, and most of MAGA as a bunch of folks with unresolved trauma who need therapy (and NOT a career in politics).

@kairyssdal.bsky.social While Elon is busy breaking the government for his bosses, Russell Vought & Lance Wallnau, is anyone working on private company "replacements" for things like OSHA and the FDA? How would that look/work?

Journalism is how we learn facts. Listening to Musk/Trump just means lies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

So many of the white Americans who are worried that their children might feel bad learning about racism see nothing wrong with their children learning about "original sin."

Today in the U.S.A. we celebrate those who served as President and protest those who attempt to rule as President.

MAGA: Bill Gates is gonna control us all via microchips in vaccines & cell phones! Also MAGA: Elon Musk is awesome! Everyone else: Musk? the guy who controls satellites, owns a company that invented a brain-chip, & is currently diddling the financial & data levers of the US Gov't? MAGA: He rocks!

Will the next series of "Black Mirror" be released before we're simply living it?

I'm afraid that Trump-brain may be contagious. I wrote myself a note to grease the gears of my squeaking clothes-dryer. I am currently frying bacon. My brain suggested how wonderful it would be to use the bacon grease so that all my clothing would smell like bacon.

Things Trump has been right about: Pennies are dumb. "Operation Warp Speed" saved lives. "Space Force" (may be the closest we'll ever get to Star Fleet).

For a doofus who is usually super cruel to trans-people and non-binary people, Elon Musk sure seems to enjoy naming everything with an "X."

I am not as worried about Trump "ignoring the courts" to create a "Constitutional crisis" as much as I'm worried the courts will eventually cave and simply award him all the power.

@scottdetrow.bsky.social Every time I hear the opening of "Trump's Terms" and hear the sound-byte of Trump saying that America is going to "take off like a rocket ship" I cringe... especially since I've seen Elon's rocket ships...

Not sure what Americans could all agree on these days. I mean, even saying "Nazis are bad" is likely to get push-back.

"Why are we so divided?" Short answer: we have no trust in any shared source for facts.

I don't believe Mr. Trump could get Mr. Musk to stop doing his DOGE actions even if he wanted to . Pass it on.

The more I hear his voice the more I feel like there should be a group of people traveling with him saying, "Yeah. We're sorry. Just ignore our old racist grandpa. He'll be gone soon. Don't Worry."
