Just as authoritarians proudly lie with impunity, it would seem they revel in the ability to behave with gross incompetence without consequences. After a lifetime of failing upwards, it’s a feature with these guys, not an accident.

I’m dismayed at the comments sniping at the prosecutor’s decision to resign. It’s easy to be an armchair critic when one does not take into consideration the agonizing deliberation that would lead to such an action. If ethical performance is discouraged or prohibited, then it’s time to go.

Solid Democrat all my life steadily moving more left. Current top-level Democratic leaders are too timid for this time. We need a new generation to forcefully advocate for public policy that prioritizes people over corporations and money. If Democrats can’t do it, then we need a new party that will.

Sounds good on the surface, but unfortunately not a viable solution due to the line of succession

Thank you. I’m just awakening to the dynamics of NATO. With a mad man in the mix, it’s truly a mess. Also, I didn’t know until a few days ago that the US has had designs on Greenland since at least the 1860s. Wishing the best to the EU and those of us in the US who oppose this nonsense.

Hey, Lawrence! Sorry to miss you two. We were all just little specks in a huge crowd. Hope all is well with you.

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a NATO member. Launching a military attack on Greenland would trigger a NATO response. His belligerence signals he’s willing to provoke a war with the entirety of NATO. Who would benefit most by involving NATO in a two-front war?

Thank you. I’ve been searching for analysis from people like you with the credentials and experience to discuss the real-world consequences of what is happening to our government.

@wajali.bsky.social You are spot on. I fear many are in shock and denial. No, not awe. I’ve tried to explain this to friends and acquaintances. The “occupiers” have burrowed so deeply and destroyed so much that recovery would take many years even if they were all ejected tomorrow.

And I will continue to agonize and hopefully grow along with others who understand that this is our time to do what we know is right.

While I know a segment of the population here will never oppose the current regime, I hope many more will wake up and choose humanity over this thing that now seems to be ascendant. So I will continue to photograph and share.

stands for righteousness. But…I’m a boomer of color and I know history. It’s not pretty. And due to the legendary interference of the United States in the affairs other countries, many would be right to say to people in the US, “now you will know what we’ve gone through.”

In fact, what’s happening now occupies a great amount of my thoughts, possibly the majority. I don’t know if some of my fellow country people (the one’s who have not been zombified) are in shock or not. We’ve been conditioned from an early age (I’m a “boomer”) to believe this country ultimately

As a “Boomer” I know the torch needs to be passed to those in a new generation who both understand history and can bring the fire to meet the current challenges. AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Pete Buttigieg, and others. Let them lead…

When all is said and done you, AOC, will be remembered as one of the true heroes of this horrible time
