Side note but what an absolute embarrassment to social media Twitter has become. A cesspool gathering of the worst of the far right and the terminally online, paid for by Russia MAGA-bots, existing for no other reason than to convince people that Trump is adored. Sure he is. By Putin.

Why do these guys always fail to note that the US loses more than anyone if they pull out of NATO. The rest of NATO will regroup, restructure and come together. Putin hasn't been able to gain ground against Ukraine so no way he decides to wage war with all of NATO, with or without America. 1/2

This is all too true. Our actions this next twelve to eighteen months will create the momentum that will decide who our next leaders will be. We have to show them who we are first. Show them that the true American dream is still alive and that democracy needs leadership again. So let's show them!

Could not agree more with this. If you take an animal into your home, they are family! Forever!! This lazy little monster was abandoned with her brothers and sisters. We took her in as a rescue cat five years ago. Leela got lucky and found a happy home. So many cats aren't that fortunate.

Kinda hate that Elon even gets mentioned in the same sentence as Tony Stark. He's barely a Justin Hammer. It's like when you see those AI generated images of Trump dressed as Captain America. Musk and Trump are not worthy of the comparison. They're not the heroes. They're the bad guys.

He’s threatening to fire federal employees who don’t respond to his email by tomorrow. He has already fired employees with impeccable performance reviews. Promotions will be based on responses to his email rather than detailed performance evaluations by their direct supervisor.

Republican Rep. Kevin Hern (OK-1) tries hard to dodge a question. The people are waking up & are growing tired of Trump’s yes men. @dcombes.bsky.social

Personally, I don't find them remotely scary and don't fear what they're going to do because I know America can repair any damage done to it by a bunch or narcissistic asshole billionaires. We just need to stand up, refuse to comply and fight the insanity. This won't end well for them.

There are A LOT of responses to this saying that it doesn't matter and that they will NEVER stand alongside Trump voters. Guys, we have to. If we don't then we continue to lose. Here's the thing. Not all Trump voters are MAGA. In fact, MAGA is likely the minority. 1/3

Rep. Rich McCormick R GA-7 attended a town hall meeting & wasn’t welcomed with open arms. He was pressed about his endorsement of the SAFE ACT (which jeopardizes women’s right to vote). He tries to weasel his way out, but the people weren’t having it!!!! Volume up & please repost! 💙

All the polling and election experts who were certain that Kamala was going to win in 2024, give yourselves a slap on the back and take a big healthy sip out of the cup of being absolutely correct. She won. Elon then fixed it that she didn't. Everything he's done since proves that. Wake up, Dems!

Isn't the easiest explanation for the Muskian rampage that he's working on behalf of Putin and extracting fanatical, bloody revenge against US, weakening the country, shrinking our military, destroying our reputation, melting our alliances, making us poorer & now punishing Americans directly?

Blue-sky is a relatively new platform, much like early Twitter, where engagement took time & effort to build. Instead of waiting for people to come to you, focus on reaching out & interacting Ask yourself: are you engaging with other users’ content as much as you expect them to engage with yours?

Was there any point removing them, given that absolutely nobody is paying attention to @CNN anymore. Kinda like locking the journalism door after the sanewashing, fascist supporting, former news channel has bolted.

Extortion, pure and simple.

#DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory What can the minority Dem party do? C’mon, y’all. I’m a hard core Dem. Why aren’t they doing this? Hire a press secretary and nationally hit back hard on Trump’s cruel policies every single news cycle. Make the media come to them! Not rocket science.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

🇺🇦 🇳🇱 Grateful to the Netherlands for their strong position and continued support for Ukraine!

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Can everyone read and repost this article please. Fantastic read and an excellent reminder of the facts of the current situation in America. They are the minority. We are, far and away and without shadow of a doubt, the majority. And we shall prevail.

And this is why you don't allow a shithead like Musk to monopolize technologies. It's time we quit using anything remotely controlled by Elon because he cannot be trusted.

If ever anyone needs a picture to properly drive home the point that Congress really needs term limits, here's the one.

Oh, Donnie, Donnie, Donnie... We are all gonna see you in court, you ugly, orange piece of arrogant shit. Whatever you think is happening right now, you're gonna be disappointed. Oh, and fuck you!

Guarantee you, if this is happening, it's setting up a crossover movie too. Avengers vs. Justice League? Feige and Gunn have got to have at least joked about doing it already.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Guys, be honest. Who here actually sees Trump staying in the White House for a full four years? We are a month in and the country is already in an unsustainable position, both at home and in our international standing. There's just no way this lasts until 2026, let alone 2028. Right?
