Government exists to provide services to its citizens. That some desire to have those services taken away from the “less deserving” does not change this fact that the public good is meant for all. Some now face a reckoning they are also part of the “less deserving.” We shall all suffer together.

Congo has offered DJT their minerals in return for military aid and protection. He considers it, since EU “doesn’t give him anything.” Congo “military” is Russian Wagner group. Pls connect the dots as to who will get that military “aid”. Congo offer: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

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)

Genuinely feels like a Pitchforks Moment is brewing. @nickhanauer.bsky.social People are sick of this crap. I’m glad everyday conservatives are starting to wake up to the corrupting influence of money in our politics. I just wish people didn’t need to get personally hurt to realize this.

This is the result when our representatives are in power because they need a job, and not because of their sincere convictions to serve the American people. The corrupting power of corporate money and influence runs deep in the GOP and has also infected some Democrats. Throw them all out.

And trickle-down has been nothing short of a lie. A lie to divide Americans against each others’ common interests. Orange County was the birthplace of modern GOP and we were all steeped in it. Realizing this was one of the big factors in me leaving movement conservatism and drifting leftwards.

Praying for our #Pope Francis. 🙏 He is not a perfect man, but he has ushered in a more progressive Catholic Church under his guidance. Undoubtedly the excommunicated bishops corrupted by temporal power who have allied with the reactionary Western far-right are waiting for His Holiness’ demise.

What happened to Caesar again? This is their next plan after they finish implementing #Project2025 Note fascistic framing of the imagery. “Beyond” refers to a successor reich or “Third Roman” empire and figures heavily into Nazi and Russian nationalism. P.S. The laurels are pointing the wrong way.

This bombshell story was scrubbed from Daily Beast and other sites, with no editorial explanation. Will be interesting to see if there were DOJ threats involved. The “Krasnov” code name associated with Trump’s alleged KGB ties is in ref to Pyotr Krasnov. #TrumpKGB www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Nonetheless highly troubling. LEA, do your jobs and investigate if there is alleged criminal cause. Breaking everyone’s privacy for the sake of an “EZ-Mode button” is atrocious.

Note Trump says “we are the federal law,” as in he believes the other two Constitutional Branches are but withering vestiges and he holds the power. Under our Constitution, a president is the executor who carries out laws as passed by Congress and clarified by the Courts, not the other way around.

The nature of “shock and awe” is that it makes it hard to see or think clearly. What’s playing out through a veneer of chaos is a deliberate tactical program to create a system in which the President has sole authority over the entire executive branch: www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

There are now more Americans (53%) who think the US economy under Trump is about to be a dumpster fire than Americans who voted for Trump (49.8%). His supporters need to find out the hard way that instead of voting to punish others, they voted to punish themselves too.

If you’re looking for villains in the erosion of democracy, remember that the corporate media spent weeks obsessing over Joe Biden’s choice of footwear, but when Donald Trump declared that he’s above the law they basically shrugged and moved on.

The cells have been deactivated for the next 4 years after which the cells will suddenly re-activate. They don’t add constructive ideas. They seem to only attack one party (Dems). Many hold far-left views while living in affluence and comfort. They’re not our allies, and should be treated as such.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

We need to save some smoke for voters. Trump was very clear during the campaign that he planned to settle Russia's war on Ukraine quickly and on Putin's terms. 77 million people voted for him anyway, and now he's following through. American voters sold out our ally.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.
