The American Man™️, c. 2025

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

Walking out to thousands of everyday Americans protesting this lawless, reckless, and shameless regime, would’ve been powerful. It takes coordination by our elected and activist leaders, though. The time is ripe; don’t let it rot, Leadership. Lead us.

We can’t let this heart and soul perish. We’ve got to fight back. Leaders: get together and make a unified plan for massive, broadbased demonstration. Rank and File: gas up the car and pack a go bag. A free world is at stake.

Absolutely unacceptable. This administration is hollowing out the greatest country in the history of the world of any lingering decency or dignity or character. A history-crushing tragedy. I’m so profoundly disappointed, ashamed, and heartbroken. The scale of this collapse is epochal and undeniable.

"We have to take the gloves off. They are not playing by the rules!" Here's that incredible video #Maddow just played of an activist giving a stirring speech at a #NY20 town hall held by Democrat Paul Tonko, calling on his Congressman and Democrats to do more.

What on earth? Selling gold card citizenship to foreign-born millionaires? This gold-plated Trolligarchy is really jumping the shark. Cockamamie, bananas, satire-proof reality is hitting us all full on in the brains, here, every damned hour. Sweet Christmas. 🤦‍♂️

When covering the Trump administration, my goal is to mostly try to focus on things that are neglected and/or tractable. www.slowboring.com/p/how-were-t...

We have elected a dipsh*t with an affection for dictators and Nazis into the oval office. This movie keeps getting worse. It’s up to us to write how it ends.

You don't need to know the personal family history of @marcelias.bsky.social to admire the work he's doing on behalf of democracy and America, but his eloquent response to the simple-minded trolling of Elon Musk causes me to appreciate him more. Thank you for sharing, Marc.

“Russiagate” is so, so 20-teens. Welcome to Russiapalooza. MAGA is aligning history’s most important liberal democracy - OUR country - with the Axis of Autocrats. Threats to smash our allies’ economies, imperialist designs from Greenland to Gaza, defanging NATO, etc. MAGA is unAmerican.

Not remotely surprising. Most Americans aren’t paying attention and haven’t felt real pain yet. It just reads like “strength”, which is what they wanted. We need to pop media bubbles (press events with local media, picking fights on Fox) and prepare for war on the Tax Cuts front. Still round one.

Church has been important for me. It is breath on embers when the cold bites down. In these fraught times, I find myself wishing that “turning over tables” will guide the message, but Rev Hubbard’s sermons are much more radical and challenging than that, and I’m grateful for them.

Put a Pin In/Mock: Greenland, Panama, the Riviera of the Middle East, Canada, Gulf of America, Kennedy Center, NFL Endzones, etc. Amplify/Resist: Musk Invasions, Funding Freezes, Justice Purges, NIH cuts, massive layoffs Prepare For: the coming Tax Cut legislation.

I hope every university subject to these cuts is partnering with every union (students, profs, custodians, pub. emp., nurses, etc.) and holding press conferences with local media detailing the devastating economic consequences. Facilities will close. This needs to happen EVERYWHERE. Now.

We are clearly entering what history will remember as a profound hinge moment. But it will be remembered not for witnessing America’s inexorable slide into autocracy, but for the standing up to that slide. We are finding our footing and setting our feet. Keep punching.

Pretty sure Harris/Walz wouldn’t be proposing this. American elections are binary choices. Period. Folks who voted third party because “both sides are genocidal” helped this happen. There’s no other way to put it. Please remember this the next time a purity test rolls around.

We need to know who the people are being sent there, why they are being sent there (rather than other places), and what the terms of their incarceration and due process are, and we need press access to the facility immediately. This is some very, very sketchy shit.

“He thrives in chaos, he thrives in uncertainty,” John Feeley… said of Mr. Trump. “He doesn’t need to have a metric. You’re making a mistake if you think he’s sitting there with a spreadsheet. He’s not. He’s sitting there looking at headlines.”
