Trump is going to go beyond just spreading disinformation. He will use the power of the state to try to change reality itself. Considering how media is already bending to his will, it is likely to succeed in many ways. Part of resistance will be simply telling the truth no matter the consequence.

The fact that we could have had an intelligent, kind, compassionate, well-read President, but instead, we're stuck with a man who actively supports banning books, will forever be heartbreaking to me. Half of this country failed the assignment. #BookSky

@marcelias.bsky.social: "Trump wants you to be fearful because he thinks that if you are fearful, you will capitulate, you will give in, you will pull your punches. And if you do that, 2 things will happen. Number 1, you give up your integrity. But number 2, Donald Trump then knows he’s got you."

If only the Hunter Biden pardon were the beginning of a Dark Brandon redux. I have to think there are steps the Biden administration could take in the next 50 days to protect Americans and our foreign allies from what’s ahead—legal, reasonable steps. I know some are being taken, but doubt all are.

Violet Affleck showing us all how it’s done. Wearing an N95 while assisting at a mission food service. She has repeatedly pointed out that the least fortunate in society are the MOST at risk for COVID - and understands the importance of breaking chains of transmission.

What Trumpism did was provide a way for deeply unhappy people to spend their time instead of doing anything to change their circumstances It's like meth in the form of a so-called "political movement" Some brief kicks, but your teeth will probably fall out because the DHHS Secretary hates fluoride

Trump "I had a great call with President Shinybum of Mexico. She will stop rapists and criminals from coming here!" President Sheinbaum "I informed Mr. Trump the best way to make rapists and criminals feel unwelcome in America, is for people to stop electing them." ow.ly/AP9R50UhcgT

So let me get this straight. If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check. But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't? Got it.

Your regular reminder that the COVID pandemic is NOT over. Please use language accordingly. Don’t refer to ‘during the pandemic’ or ‘post-COVID’ or ‘since COVID’. We are still in the thick of it - wave after wave. People are still dying or becoming disabled from Long COVID

We let Covid rip and then it was the winter of a lot of Covid, and then it was the tridemic of Covid, RSV and flu, and now it’s all that plus pneumonia. How are people not seeing this as a progression? It’s getting worse. It’s so obviously getting worse

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform. That, combined with X, means Trump will have turnkey state-run media. I don’t think the media has fully grasped that yet.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

We’re on track to lose everything because of an ideology. An ideology that tells us we’re innately selfish, that equates success with dominion & overconsumption. But lots of other ideologies are available. 2,500 years ago Lao Tzu came up with a pretty good one. #Taoism

“We’ve been duped for over 2 decades into believing that what we get online is unfettered truth or unfettered access to information when in fact what we’ve been getting is what power always wants, which is to reproduce itself and to increase its hold over the people.” 👏🏼 @maryannefranks.bsky.social
