I remember reading a book in I think 2015 that explained the connection. I think the title was Kompromat. Should have been a bigger bombshell than Hillary’s emails, but MSM loved the clicks & 👀 that Trump attracts.

And I’m giving you extra points for correct past tense (“If I had been there” and not “If I would have bern there”)! 💙

Safety. Who needs it? I'm sure it'll be fine. Trump is likely to stop Phase 1 safety trials for new drugs, too.

You’re not wrong. Still, we have to confront the Congress we have. My members are Dems; I still call them often to thank them or to urge a vote on something I particularly care about. Too many voters won’t make that phone call.

👆Exactly why voters with Republican members of Congress need to call them. Capitol switchboard 202-224-3121.

Still, one Republican finding a spine is better than no Republicans having spines.

“Lucy football” is shorthand for the oft-repeated Peanuts cartoon sequence where Lucy holds the football for Charlie Brown to kick, but pulls it away at the last second.

We the People must be the opposition. We cannot wait. Keep pushing Congress (as futile as it seems), and keep protesting. The People cannot ignore the crashing airplanes, the spreading diseases, and the lack of medication by mail in rural (red) areas.

Please use the list below to call or message your legislators. Let them know your concerns and ask them to support Blue Sky. Many only put Twitter on their home page and Elon tweaks the algorithms in his favor.

Donald Trump is handing the Country to Russia . Who is the Marxist here ? Everyone shouldn’t just write or call Democratic Senators but the scared Republican ones also. Deluge them with questions like , Why is Trump destroying everything the Founding Father’s fought for? Will you stand up ?

If you understand how cults work & apply it to MAGA it makes 'sense'. Trump has conditioned his base: only he tells the truth & can solve their problems.
He is a con artist. He tells them what they want to hear, not necessarily the truth. He threatens to ruin anyone who stands against him.
It's 🤯

An awful lot more people have taken an oath to protect the nation from domestic enemies than are currently protecting the nation from domestic enemies.

I understand that Joe Biden was very old, but I still don’t think that Donald Trump should be allowed to break the law. Sorry.

Ironic how Putin's 'special military operation' was ostensibly designed to 'de-Nazify' Ukraine, while actual Nazis now occupy the White House.

I think talking to ppl who voted for him in your sphere and asking straight out "what do you think of this?"
And when they say it means MHGOTY look them right in the eye and say "Really???"
Deep down ppl know it's a n@zi salute. We should call them out on it.
Like you said, show them evidence.

Yes -- but I have a feeling that'll be the least of it. The four USPS unions (city carriers, rural carriers, clerks, and sorting plant workers) are the USA's largest remaining unionized workforce, hands down. The GOP has intermittently tried to "put it through the woodchipper" since the early 2010s.

A lot of USPS employees are in unions, too.

And a huge number of USPS employees are, you guessed it, veterans.
