I’m sure I won’t agree with Kinzinger on everything, but he nailed this point spot-on.

Help where you can, how you can.

They might not, or they may work in the recurring fiction of “paid democratic activists.”

Cruelty and greed, folks.
This is being driven by cruelty and greed.

It’s emotionally draining, but worth reading it through.
Remember: The reasons behind this are cruelty and greed.

This. So very much this.

Honestly? I think it’s about both.
Demographics are changing, and the conservative patriarchy is trying to hang onto power.
At the expense of everyone else.

When Elon Musk’s Son Wants A Hug

Well, the Muskrat already spoke at an AfD conference a few days after the inauguration.
He’s not trying to hide anything.
So unfortunately he’s WORKING on the glaring bad stuff.

I fear they’ll just get someone on an H1B visa to do it.
Or a woefully underpaid prison laborer.

Scary thing is - it’s hard to know if it’s true or not, because the media is lagging behind and lawmakers are scratching their heads when they should be calling for arrests.

I think establishment Dems are still clinging to the notion of “we’ll vote for good ideas, when the Republicans have them,” but those bits of unity (and sanity!) are rarer and rarer these days- um, years- um, decades?

Now we’re talking.

I hope Canada has the moxy to push back. Nothing says “the administration has suddenly changed course” quite like “millions of angry voters calling their lawmakers at once.”

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov

And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

They need to hear from you.

These are the sort of insights that we need to keep pressing on.

If you love your kids… or your elderly relatives… or, hell, ANYONE- why would you ever vote for this bunch?

Somehow I worry that there would be at least one NYT columnist pushing this same line of “logic.” ☹️

See, THIS sort of content is why I came to BlueSky.
It’s wholesome, it’s patriotic, it’s actionable, and it’s good for your mental health.

Let’s be clear, though: Musk endorses the far-right AfD, let’s not pretend we don’t know what he’s going for.

This. So very much this. Whether it’s Democrats (don’t have a lot of faith there honestly) or third parties.

This is horrible- when the next pandemic hits (it’s always a “when” not an if) healthcare workers will need the best information available.
Also, whose idea was this? The Orange One wouldn’t think this up himself.

With respect, if you’ve been following the hearings for The Orange One’s nominees even a little bit, there’s ALREADY stuff to be outraged about.

Scathing but beautiful, I really like this writing style.
Now if only these Tech CEOs didn’t have so much power over the rest of us…

The Expendables 5: The Depends-ables?
(Though I’m sure a bunch of the actors involved deserve better than that)

No notes.

It’s definitely got that “hyper masculine glorified movie violence” thing going on.
