We will be all long gone and Earth will keep figuring out how to recover from the wasteland we’re leaving behind us

🙋‍♂️

There have always been some folks willing to speak truth to power !

And if our retired military leaders speak up, Why not our “retired” Presidents? Where are you, Clinton, Obama?

Yes. Disgraceful action by trump/hegseth

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... Read Vance’s Review of Threats to Democracy. We are being governed by a Thugogracy and everyone seems to just accept it, and DOJ and FBI under current leadership are not going to go after anyone. Yes it’s a THUGOGRACHY from the top down.

You are going to need a replacement for Starlink, it seems. I hope someone is working on that ‘cause musk wants to pull the plug as donald uses the threat to blackmail/steal Ukrainian mineral resources

The PGA Tour’s thirst for Saudi money is as sad as LIV Golf’s product. Sally Jenkins rips the PGA, LIV, trump and all the Saudi thugs swimming in the current toilet bowl called professional golf. Perfect light reading for the weekend. Thanks @sallyjenx.bsky.social

How will the Squad function if musk evilly pulls the plug on Starlink as trump uses this threat as blackmail to steal your mineral resources?

This is how a weak thug bully wannabe behaves. He calls himself king and openly wants to stay in power beyond 2028. Find ways, a way, any way to do what you can to support our DEMOCRACY and stop trump/musk

Well, there you go. Musk will let children starve in Africa and now will pull the plug on Starlink which is critical to Ukraine’s war effort. We let this scoundrel in and his actions along with trump are just more thuggery.

www.forkingpaths.co/p/doge-and-t... Questioning what USAID does and why it’s important? Read this excellent example

Governor Mills stands up and shows how it is done.

Putin is a smart Soviet thug playing trump, probably for quite a while, an easy mark for Putin

EVERY FUCKING WORD OF THIS! We have to take the gloves off! So listen up @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.org We are ready to fight! And if you fight, know that we will stand beside you every step of the way!

Vets know the deal ⬇️

Karma is a bitch, the reckoning is always there, like a law of physics- action and reaction or cause and effect

Well, yeah

Yes Yes Yes. Keep it going

Bannon threw a quickie like he was just trying it out, just sneak it in there and check the reactions. Sicko

A female admiral. A Black general.

Short and sweet - political cartoon On Point!

Only the best … get fired apparently

@markwarner.bsky.social @timkaine7.bsky.social @connolly.house.gov Why not make an effort to support those impacted while the courts continue to digest what’s happening ?

Say their names indeed. We all have to keep calling it out for what it is!

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools. 70 years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white. In this town, one school keeps kids divided. (Published May 2024)

You better believe he wants this, his MAGA hordes want this. Fascists do NOT give up power willingly. Jan 6 was a dress rehearsal

I AM WITH THE GOVERNOR! Trump shows us the classless trash that he is with this attempt (I do mean attempt as she seemed unbowed) to bully her.

www.cnn.com/2025/02/20/p.... Senator Tillis, a day and a dollar short. You stayed silent while approving trump’s choices and you are seeing the consequences as Rubio rolls over to Russians, Bondi supports revenge and trump plays golf.

Did you see the clip of donald acting like an authoritarian pig, insulting and bullying a governor, an elected official, mind you, as opposed to musk. Threats of withholding funds, bullying and demeaning tone - all shameful for the “leader” of our Democracy. The Governor stood up, literally. Bravo

The Democracy Index open.substack.com/pub/contrari... “Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman reported this week on Republicans in the Senate: “‘They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,’ a former member of Trump’s first administration tells [Sherman]”. Our “leaders” are cowering!

Europeans know the deal and many still have a cultural social memory of the Nazi atrocities. Wish it were so in the US.

Musk lies, distorts and outright blocks what he doesn’t like. Worse than Donald, musk has a bigger following on X, bigger than little Donald on his scam “truth social”. Believe the Dutch astronaut!

Will that include more wasting of water out of reservoirs, or rehiring forest fighters your doge buddies have fired, Grenell?

The Logic of Destruction open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p... Trump deceit, lies and blackmail continue. Read Snyder ⬇️ to understand. Stay informed and don’t be fooled by the lies of trump and his craven followers, all being played by Putin.

Summing it up very nicely. No place to hide here ⬇️

This is True. “Choice” is a false choice that promotes a class divide on our educational system.

Go Team. The MAJORITY of US citizens support the efforts of our European allies despite the retreat of leaders in DC

Thanks to our witless and fearful GOP senators we have this worm eaten liar and salesman of false “medical” information leading the dismantling of health services and research in our country.

Perhaps this ongoing spread of measles will wake some folks up from their fever dream of authoritarian bliss under the current regime, despite Kennedy continuing to spread false info regarding vaccines.

I won’t stop ⬇️⬇️🙏🙏

My heart aches for you, the brave warriors of Ukraine. US leaders are trying to betray you, BUT, we the people support you and your European allies. We must find a way to prevail against the tide of authoritarian craziness.

I want to SCREAM - our government is being run by thugs, GOP votes out fear of the thugs’ persistent threats, and the rush to authoritarianism leaves them speechless & powerless. IT IS UP TO US, the PEOPLE. STAND UP AND GET INVOLVED

Every option, every legal challenge considered. The war on our democracy is ongoing. Just like Ukraine, we are being sold out

Musk = misinformation = he promotes lies on his X and is lying about DOGE

No f’ing kings in America

YES YES YES

But we can make sure it gets seen here

This Is It ⬇️

Elon does NOT believe in free speech, at all. He only likes what he likes and F the rest
