Once again, Jasmine Crockett brings it home:  We don't win if we don't try, but if we try and we lose, at least we know we tried to make this world a better place .

I agree with this wholeheartedly. This is what being a progressive is about.

Yep this is absolutely true

The Republicans don't bluff, they've been after our SS $'s since FDR signed it, said it P-2025 & now through the "Power" of DOGE, they're close. Trump came to power b\c not enough of us did anything & if we sit back, SS is going to Wall St. - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/te...

Our form of democracy functions only if we own it, maintain it & vigilant to its threats & when we aren't, our form of democracy is perfect for Corporations & gangsters. Musk\Trump\MAGA didn't just suddenly appear, they're just the fruits of a long buried poisonous plant.

We know by now, Trump distracts the childish minds of his supporters & those lacking the will to think. What may be overlooked is Trump himself as a distraction for Miller, Bannon, Heritage Foundation, Corporations, Russia, Kushner, et al. & Media doesn't & won't work below a certain level.

I have 0 sympathy for MAGA when crying about how they no longer support Trump b\c he's hurt THEM. Too late sucker. I'd say you should've thought this through, been awake & aware of things around you (Woke), but then that requires you thinking & caring for others. You can swim alongside my lifeboat.

So, the Musk\Trump admin wants to get rid of the penny, b\c it costs 5 cents to make 1. Dumb. Just dumb. They think a penny produced is done, not realizing a penny lasts for decades. Quite a bargain. Oh & another thing why stopping it is a bad idea, everything will cost more after it's rounded up.

Get ready for the Covidapalooza. Here's a great punk song to encapsulate this fucked up world we live in where Health departments in entire states (Idaho article in comments) are banning people from getting Covid shots. Can't wait for the morgue trucks! suno.com/song/f072629...

I believe this wholeheartedly

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

I love this

Parody actor Liam Nissan is brutal! 🤣 Follow him here: @theliamnissan.bsky.social

Got an idea, since Celebrity is now a qualifier for public office & given Trump's sociopathic obsession with his image, how about Hollywood make him a star & produce films starring only him? This would all be a facade of course but it just may get him out of politics.

Trump changed the Law, while Republicans destroy Public Education. Well-played. Validated by Corporate Media as Normalcy, Trump is now free as we become more ignorant.
