Dog tired

There is a way out. A national strike: work stoppage of national workforce Also called a general strike, it protests government policies Shut everything down. It works. It scares the shit out of them. It shows who really has the power 1/

On top of getting the yardwork done this weekend, my backyard shed got repainted, and I played a weekly disc golf tournament (and won)!

Annual mower carburetor maintenance done, yard mowed.

This is the biggest, underreported news right now. Republicans are trying to STEAL an election in North Carolina. Straight up. This is a test case for 2026 and 2028. They will never voluntarily give up power again.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

Elbows up, Canada.

It’s not that Democratic voters think their representatives can stop everything, but we do expect them to act like they want to stop everything.

I am thinking about making some yard signs

Trump has imperialist plans to conquer North America. I am extremely worried that too many people can't yet admit to themselves that this could happen in the United States. We are the bad guys now.

I do not recognize this United States of America anymore. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-p...

Chuck Schumer should have been replaced 8 years ago. One of the main reasons for the rise of American fascism is the cowardice from appeasement ‘centrists.’

Gavin is a greasy plastic smile. I predict he ends up like Tulsi, shifting all the way right because the left is mean to him.

I had to double-check if this was real. It is. This is a sign of weakness that should be exploited.

I feel the same. If you gave me a free Tesla, I'd use the parts to electrify a classic car.

The Constitution conflicts with his power. We told you he wanted to be a dictator.

I might have to keep him

@hcrichardson.bsky.social is very good at using historical context to explain what is going on.

Today, I find myself no less worried about Trump turning trade wars into military wars with our friends and neighbors. We should take his expansionist threats very seriously.

This should be obvious, but here's a good explanation.

This is his plan

I don't remember Congress authorizing taxpayer dollars for bailing out the extremely corrupt crypto industry. Did I miss that?

Trump just imposed, by personal decree, the largest tax increase on working families in US history.

Remember this: We don't have to start trade wars or betray our allies in Europe or dismantle our government. These are the terrible ideas of Donald Trump. I promise he will try to blame others for what happens, but never forget who started it.
