fortune.com/2025/02/19/b... We should be afraid NOW of fascism and the oligarchy.

@mcuban.bsky.social I hope you or someone like you can lead this nation toward a return to sanity and a love of democracy. I read you have no interest in an elected office but we may NEED YOu to change your mind.

I am betting that no one I respond to with an idea will even notice, and thus there is little to no meaningful dialogue on this site. I find it immensely frustrating and possibly a giant waste of my time.

About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.

I would relocate!

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social as a life long Democrat, I am FURIOUS that you are willing to “work” with the fascists in control of our government. We talk amongst ourselves. The party looks weak. It is weak. Do better or should my family and I just leave this shithole nation?

Tesla’s new manual gearbox, inside every Tesla model. Musk designed it himself with help from his stable of 19-24 year old Brownshirt wannabes.

I feel like I am getting nowhere on Bluesky. I see posts. I post comments and ideas, with little or no response. It is very frustrating.

That only makes it more of a challenge.

Hegseth got heckled by what appeared to be military family members in Germany. Yelling"DEI!" at him as he arrived at the headquarters. This is unheard of and shows how angry many are with the anti-DEI push that's led to book bannings in DOD schools. I break it down! Subscribe! youtu.be/c7ky05dmQ2g

@wttw.bsky.social are you also eliminating your DEI efforts like @pbs.org? No response will be deemed that you too are taking a knee to the dictator of the USA.

@pbs.org I will discontinue my donations immediately. You take orders from a fascist dictator. I will donate my money to organizations that will fight his agenda,

It is time to recognize that this nation as a democracy is finished. Time to break it up. Succession now for the blue states.

"Silicon Valley types like to move fast and break things. I guess that’s fine if the only thing you break is your own bank account, but applying that spirit to foreign assistance (again, without a shred of legal authority) means breaking human beings."

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

@stephencolbert.bsky.social idea for a skit - using the Indeed advertising for finding employees, how about one where farmers are looking for white working class people to pick the crops or something similar to that.

@repraskin.bsky.social we should focus on Hegsmith’s extreme right wing Christian ideology file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/96/06/06F7BB95-BB50-4A9F-81F4-A0BAE6FB6264/Screenshot%202024-11-24%20at%2010.58.11%E2%80%AFAM.heic

It's not like they're just saying that trans women aren't women. They're not even accepting that trans people are human, derisively calling them "that."

“President-elect Trump has suffered a self-inflicted black eye with the withdrawal of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) from consideration as attorney general. Trump had startled even some of his supporters by choosing Gaetz for the crucial position atop the Department of Justice”

A conservative justice on the Mississippi Supreme Court was unexpectedly defeated in early November. A runoff next week will decide the fate of a moderate justice, who is challenged by a Republican state senator. NEW in Bolts and The Marshall Project: boltsmag.org/mississ...

If I have my timelines correct, in 2017 Pete Hegseth was: 1. Married to wife #2 2. Cheating on her with wife #3 3. Either cheating on one or more of them with a woman at a conference (his story), or raping her (her allegation) The family values party, ladies and gentlemen.

If you think Trump and his MAGA Republican enablers in Congress are concerned about protecting and expanding your Social Security and health care benefits I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you…
