I want to thank Senator @edmarkey.bsky.social for this post - it's the first thing that's made me feel hopeful since the election.

Save this image to your phones.

Whenever you feel like things are hopeless and we can't win, look at that image.

It made me want to fight again!

IF THESE SIX OUTSTANDING HUMAN BEINGS could summon the Courage to gift us the lives that they lived, then we must summon our Courage -- ALL OF IT -- to confront and conquer the Shitstorm that is MAGA, Musk, and Trump!

trump a man who encouraged the chaos, then watched it unfold on TV, with a Diet Coke in hand. It’s a day to remember: when flag-waving rioters thought democracy could be overturned by a Viking helmet and poorly planned chants. History books will struggle to decide if it’s tragedy or farce.

January 6th approaches, the anniversary of America’s most ill-fated “field trip.” A day when self-proclaimed patriots stormed the Capitol to save democracy by smashing windows and live-streaming their crimes. Fueled by conspiracy theories and adrenaline.

Under his brilliant leadership, we’ll witness the delicate art of ripping apart a country with the finesse of a bull in a china shop.

Come January, brace yourselves for the grand circus of the century! Trump’s magical cabinet of chaos will ride into town, featuring a dazzling array of yes-men, sycophants, and questionable qualifications.

Elon Musk, wielding his influence like some puppet master, commanded Trump and the Republicans to sabotage a bipartisan agreement, throwing the government into chaos and grinding it to a halt—all for who knows what self-serving agenda.

Elon Musk is credited for others’ work—he’s neither an inventor, designer, nor true innovator.

Since 1978, CEO compensation has increased by an astonishing 1,209.2%, while the average worker’s pay has risen by only 15.3%. This dramatic disparity highlights a growing wage gap in the U.S. economy. Critics argue that these outsized pay packages are not necessarily reflective of exceptional skill

but rather the result of aggressive negotiation and influence over corporate boards. Historically, America’s economy thrived without such extreme executive compensation, raising questions about its necessity and fairness.

Worth posting again…

Donald Trump’s return to office would mark a profound setback for American democracy. His disregard for the rule of law, attacks on the free press, and divisive rhetoric threaten to erode the nation’s core values. His policies prioritize personal gain over the public good.

trump’s 2024 cabinet picks continue his legacy of prioritizing loyalty over competence. His appointees often lack the expertise needed for their roles, favoring corporate interests and political allies over public service, raising serious concerns about governance and accountability.

Why has the election not been contested ?

Personally, I’m thrilled Hunter Biden was pardoned. rumph would have made some crazy example out of him!

Right on the mark. 👇

Bluesky is a sanctuary.

Why is "echo chamber" an insult? Xitter does not share my views and I do not worship musk. I want a place of like-minded people who inspire and challenge me. I want a place I can stay away from the Nazis, MAGAts, and Christian nationalists. That's not an "echo chamber." That's a sanctuary. #bluesky
