I have been sitting with this for hours because I didn’t want to react purely from emotion. Today we witnessed a moment in our history so dark and foul and utterly repulsive that the world will never forget.

This is a bigger scandal than people realize. It really makes it look as though this entire meeting was a setup by Trump that was planned in advance. If you watch the video it is clear that they are deliberately and almost derangedly blindsiding Zelenskyy. Now we know who the audience was. Putin.

Tired of sending my blue state taxes to support broke red states. Instead of being grateful they elect people whose sole aim is to make our lives worse. Screw it let’s secede.

One way to punch back is to withdraw from the economy as much as possible. I have purchased almost nothing in weeks. I’ve canceled my Prime. I’ve left my big bank for a credit union. The only value we have to them is financial so I will be withholding that as much as I can.

Saying we shouldn’t protest because then Trump will enact martial law means we basically already have it. BTW if he wants it he’ll make up any reason and just enact it. So if we’re getting it anyway let’s f*cking earn it.

Hakeem Jeffries is more hostile to the left than he is with Trump. What an absolute disgrace.

At some point we’re going to have to get in the streets and shut this down. The fact that we feel less urgency to do so than in 2016 is proof of the psychological abuse we’re all suffering. It’s their plan. We have to wake up.

A year ago the 4 senators representing VA and MD released this statement in protest of congress selfishly cramming more flights into DCA to ease their commutes.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

There are many very effective Democrats. I sure wish they were in the party leadership.

I’m so glad to be on here. It feels like the only social media app that’s not part of a fascist agenda.

Speaker Johnson faces the challenge of maintaining party unity to secure his position. Losing even one GOP vote could slightly complicate his path to re-election as Speaker, particularly if Democrats band together in opposition. Is Trump losing his influence on GOP? #DemVoice1

I’m so glad to be reconnecting with so many progressive friends. It’s crazy how much better this place is. Let me know if I owe you a follow back! 💙💙💙

I’m never going back to corporate news. They’ve utterly failed us and there are WAY better independent and authentic voices out there. Just not on the teevee.

I will resist a swing to the right with everything I’ve got but the real struggle is not left vs right. It’s up vs down. It’s the oligarchs vs all of us.

I haven’t engaged with corporate media since the election but from what I’m seeing here I take it they’re still just as horrendous as ever. Good riddance.

The majority of Americans for quite some time have been deeply unhappy working so hard for so little. If we continue to be seen as aligned with status quo corporate capitalism we will continue to lose.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Keep blocking every troll. Don’t engage.

I've noticed that the last few MAGA trolls I've blocked here had posts up about how boring this place was. Yeah, when everyone you try to troll just blocks and moves on without engaging, it'll sure seem that way. Keep at it, folks.

I’m about to lecture on Watergate and I feel, for the first time, that I have to explain to students why it was such a scandal. “No, people thought the president wasn’t a king. Even Republicans! Honest!”

Yes. That's what makes BlieSky so unique, I would say. We simply dont play along. We ignore, report, block!

When one shows themselves here, don’t respond. Don’t engage. Deny them your reaction. Block and move on!! 💙💙💙

It’s ok to stop listening to the people on TV. They’re paid to have charisma and read scripts and they’ve lead us here.
