It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

$40M to cut people indiscriminately. $40M to pay 100 people... so rough average, we've got 20-somethings getting paid $400K a year to steal our information. It doesn't seem hard to say this is very wrong.

No one is surprised that the policies and laws of a party claiming to be about values and family is actually just about control. And they don't care who it kills.

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

WashPo [con't.] -- Depth of support for Trump 2.0 is also weaker than the opposition. Those who "strongly oppose" outnumber those who "strongly support" by a solid 10% -- by 37% to 27%. [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

All Trump has to do to prove he’s not a dictator is obey our laws. That’s not going to happen and we know why.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.
