They deleted the database on law enforcement misconduct. The only way this makes sense is if you want to increase police brutality and killings. www.police1.com/federal-law-...

How do you take a chainsaw to the federal government and its institutions, fire thousands of good federal employees, lead efforts to halt funding on programs that will literally cause people to die, do the bidding of a crazy person and all without conscience? Dissociative anesthesia, i.e. Ketamine.

Someone should be pee tested. Seriously.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, suggested we "recapture the revolutionary spirit and declare eternal hostility towards poverty, racism and militarism..." Still relevant today, except I'd add fascism and the GOP to that list and some other stuff. I declare eternal hostility.

They will play this off as a joke in these early days, but this is meant to be a gut check, to see where pushback will be. Daily I ask myself if I sound like a crazy person. I'm not. I give it 30 days max until he reintroduces the idea and says a constitutional Republic isn't in our best interest.

Bernie Sanders: "The struggle against Trump, the struggle against oligarchy, which is led by Elon Musk ... that's not gonna be won here in Capitol Hill. It's gonna be won by millions of people all over this country standing up and saying, 'we fought and died for democracy.'"

At a time when we are short on heros, Pres. Zelensky is a hero of epic proportion. Such a good man, fighting for his countrymen, he embodies the kind of strength, courage and resilience that inspires people. I hope he can win this war for Ukraine without having to give in to these two monsters.

“Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.” Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr Today as people standing together we require democracy unanimity against autocracy stupidity.

DT is signaling that if you don't agree with us there will be consequences. This is classic authoritarianism, this is not how a democratic government behaves. Nevermind that Freedom of the Press is fundamental to a functional democracy, because this isn't going to stop with the press.

DT is telegraphing that this will be the excuse for every illegal act he plans to do and what he will ask others to do. All of it will be in the name of saving the country. There is nothing that he will not do under this banner and that should strike fear in the heart of every person alive.

"If only there was a way of preventing this."

I was thinking about how BlueSky is mostly an echo chamber, but I think that's what we need right now, as validation for what is sane and right and to remind ourselves that we're not alone.

Sicker and poorer and dumber and dead earlier. NJ12 Rep @repbonnie.bsky.social tells it like it is and how it looks like it's going to go. This is all overwhelming, but we will get through this together. United we conquer, divided we fall. Let's keep improbably hope alive. #DemVoice1

It's a dark day. This confirmation confirms that the GOP is willing to sacrifice the health of Americans in the name of achieving DT's agenda. It means we are officially FUBAR.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Word of the day: #Pendejo (plural form pendejos), a Spanish word pronounced Pen-day-hoe. This is a derogatory term to refer to a person as being stupid, contemptible or an asshole. Apparently it also has a Latin root that means "pubic hair".
