The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

A rogue DOJ… Pardons for Jan6 treasonous acts were inexcusable. Broaden the scope to include drugs, guns…and child porn manufacturing/possession of child porn? Abuse of judicial power. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/n... Criminals supported by bigger criminals. This is our country. #SheShed

It was always Rand Paul’s destiny to be the last man to board the political Titanic and the first one to shove a woman out of the way to take the last seat on a lifeboat.

The oligarchs helped Hitler in pursuit of profit. Many ended up in concentration camps. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

You know it’s bad when this is the post’s cover

Never forget.

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

If you didn't know... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Have funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS #Boycott

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Ludicrous statement by a MAGAt "friend" yesterday, i.e. DEI was responsible for the California wildfires. Eyes narrowed and my tongue shot out words, "You would have to be stupid to believe that. Are you really that stupid?" Blank stare. It may only work on that MAGAt but hey, give it a try.

After Trump falsely called Zelenskyy a “dictator” and as reports emerged of U.S. and Russian officials meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss a possible ceasefire without input from Ukraine, even some of Zelenskyy’s domestic opponents have begun defending him. apnews.com/article/ukra...

We need more people like this

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

It should be GOP in the streets pissed because they realize tRump and ALL the fking MAGA LIED to them, but there is no GOP anymore, let's face it, if they were ok voting a vile piece of shit like him in, they are pretty much braindead already, and pretty useless as people. Weak. 🌊

A lie becomes the truth only for weak minds.

IL Gov. Pritzker is one of the great leaders of our time. You can watch his full IL budget address here. If you forward to the 26 minute mark, you can watch as he shifts to a dire warning about the direction our country is taking, but also words of hope. We should all take heed.

What's the lack of knowledge that your brain is not the only one in the world called?

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

We can ruin them and change everything

See How That Works?

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans were "praying for Ukraine" when Russia went in. Now, that 47's back, they're praying for Russia. See how religion works for their bs. PS. Whomever they're praying to isn't picking up. *Should be prey not pray for them.

Man, remember when there was a terrorist attack on a state monument and we basically just didn't investigate it at all? What a quaint time that was.

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.
