I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST.

I mean, WTF? 🀬

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

No more Target. We need to bring these businesses to their knees. If we don’t then others will follow them and bend the knee to Trump

Ok, so IRS got the 5 bullet points, justify your job, email. Our Union NTEU is saying to not respond at this point until National NTEU has a chance to assess the implications of responding.

This. Wealthy folks like Elon don’t want the IRS auditing them. They’ll do anything they can to avoid paying their fair share in America. Even dismantling the IRS.

Thank you for having the courage to speak out when even the most wealthy and powerful are bending the knee to an authoritarian regime!

Who does he envision American troops will be fighting?

Trump doesn’t have the courage to look sideways at Putin. He won’t go to war with him

The amount of spam I get from dem-related orgs is RIDICULOUS. At least 4-5 texts a day, each time from a new distribution list

Also: from a cynical standpoint I get treating China as an equal power, as their economy is the 2nd largest in the world.

But why Russia, whose GDP is 1/6th of the US’s and less than that of many current US allies? Just because Putin keeps making empty nuclear threats?

I think we all knew that Trump was eventually going to screw over the Ukraine and hand it over to Putin on a silver platter for nothing in return.

The surprise for me is that he is also handing over Europe, and working with Putin and Xi to divvy up the rest of the planet

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it isβ€”this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

I don’t know, but regardless, the Opposition needs to be completely flooding the zone with misinformation about how horrible the response is. Tit for tat, lie for lie.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States.

If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.

Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.
