TIME TO STAND UP FOR OUR DEMOCRACY

IT'S NOW OR NEVER

Well that’s a headline I did not except to see. Ever.

Reposting because this is important.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer.

If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up.

If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

This isn't an accident. They want to declare Social Security "unfixable", distract everyone from the fact that they are the ones who broke it and then disolve the whole thing, pocketing the funds in the form of massive tax breaks for billionaires.

Yep, you are right! I have been calling my representatives but they literally do not care! Rich and richer and in a Red state so deep in MAGA that nothing matters. Even taking to the streets isn’t helping.

Musk is rich because you gave him $38 billion in tax money to make that.

He is happy to tell you what you don’t need.

He’s also picking a side in foreign policy, and it’s not our side

🚨 THIS IS DICTATOR BEHAVIOR 🚨

Trump just declared that he will VOID Biden’s pardons — including for members of the January 6th Committee. This isn’t just an attack on Biden — it’s a direct threat to political dissent and a chilling escalation of political persecution.

Find a cool product on Amazon? That company exists OFF Amazon, too. 1) Google company name. 2) Order from their site. 2a) Can usually find a 10% code! 3) Still get product in 2-8 days. 4) Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon. 5) You avoid giving money to Bezos.

“The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians —because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.”

Where is Bernie

I haven’t started the #blsky account. I feel like it will be too much for me to mange. Would you be interested? I think they are getting more people involved in running things.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

love this @rokhanna.bsky.social

We need more proposals like this that co-opt the chaos

Please share off line as well !!!

So, can states circumvent this BS and order vaccine stocks from other countries without those shipments getting impounded at the border? ‘Cuz LFG, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Thanks for posting here, but how about first here! No more control by billionaires

NO. At a time of massive income and wealth inequality we should not be giving tax breaks to billionaires. We should demand that they start paying their fair share.

So glad she is commenting on BlueSky! No more power to Musk.

I just started a 50501 Movement Fargo page. Hoping to look at improving government in our city and state. I think we are behind on that.

Damn @sanders.senate.gov. Just when I compliment you, I looked for info on the event. NONE HERE. But multiple posts on X.

WTF.

You obviously don’t care to engage. Just look at the quality of replies you get over there.

Protest in FargoND

Click the linked in site

In case this won't be reported, Senate Dems are holding the floor for 30 hours to try to stall the RFK Vote!

Here's the press release from Wyden's office.

I am just calling my reps. I am watching Chuck Schumer continue to not get his message across or connect with people around me. I think we need to ask for Pete B to be the voice. I am tired of having the messenger botch the message. I don’t know what else to do.

Protests didn’t work last time. What else do these people have?
