Look, I get it. It’s natural to want to trust the person you voted for, but to not even pause? To not even ask, “Hey, was this legal? Was protocol followed?” C’mon, y’all!
Since when did blind loyalty become more American than checks and balances?
I just called my reps with @5calls.org and urged them to bring Kilmar home. You should too: 5calls.org

Not me thinking this was about literal ships for way too long of a second. 🚢😅

"If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers."
I think about this line from Gravity's Rainbow every single friggin day. But it especially applies right now.
So?
Mandates are for getting the opposition party on board with popular presidents, but the Ds are effectively powerless against the influence the Rs have at every level.
The sooner we realize this, the sooner we realize the kind of fight we’re in for, and the sooner we can properly prepare.
In a country infested by dragons hoarding its wealth and tearing down its foundations, lift up the dragonslayers or dare to become one yourself.
In other words, where’s our irl Vox Machina?!
TerastioDONTosaurus seems aptly named.
Or falls off the side, onto the floor, and in lickable / biteable / rippable range of the dog. 😭
Reading in bed is all fun and games until the book falls on your face. 📚 #BookSky

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President.
It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me.
Dammit, America. 😞
I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.

Fascism is here.
We face a demented dictator emboldened by the American oligarchy.
We are the Spartans. The first wave on the beaches of Normandy.
Our job is to slow them down. To resist at every turn. To fight for every inch, while our reinforcements gather
In strength.

You guys are ignoring that Trump is staffing the top ranks of his administration with people from a truly diverse range of sex crimes.
I still find it perversely poetic that it was religion that ultimately divided the original phrasing of “one nation indivisible”.
That’s not to say that conservative voices aren’t welcome, but MAGA =/= conservative.
Trump supporters have been around for nearly a decade. We shared Facebook with them, we shared Twitter, and we hung on when they turned it into X.
They have proven, time and again, that civil discourse is not what they’re interested in. We have no interest in continuing to oblige them.
That’s not to say we should give up on fighting for vulnerable communities.
It just doesn’t have to be the platform’s main theme.
This starts off as a solid take but ultimately misses the mark.
She’s right that those voters will never agree with the left’s identity politics.
She’s wrong that a populist economic policy won’t entice them to vote blue.
The overfocus on identity has been our downfall.
Gotta say, the myriad available ways to find content on here is refreshing. Really well thought out, #BlueSky. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They keep saying Trump wants peace.
They keep forgetting that the total destruction of Palestine is also a version of “peace”, and that’s the version Trump has always supported.
