Now that we have some Republicans passed off at trump, how do we build a movement to remove his puppet speaker mike Johnson? With him in place nothing is gonna happen on the house. Did the Republicans themselves make it much easier to call for a vote to vacate last year right?

Vice President JD Vance Delivers Remarks at the Munich Security Conference YouTube video by The White House

I listened to Vance's speech in Europe. He really really wants the EU to listen to its voters, all of them. Ok, what about the half of his own country telling him their opinion about breaking our own laws? Crickets......

This is a request for a good guide to how to use bluesky. I have been trying to convince people to leave the meta hellscape and build local community here, but they always say they heard it was like Twitter or never learned how to do Twitter. I am kind of including myself too in not knowing.

This is a good interview amd resonated with me. 7 things that need to happen. They mention that we need a free press and fair elections!

At this point there are two things that cannot go away.

Fair elections (even as flawed as the US system is).

A free press. Read this substack by Dan Rather. Corporate media is beholden to the trump regime. open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

Watching the start up of trump 2.0 is a bummer. What if we got rid of the 2 party system? The NYT has a very worthy article that explores how easy it would be to shift to a multi party system, even though it's seems unlikely
