Democracy First!

Now picture a family of 5 where the dad makes all the $, while the wife holds a part-time job as she takes care of the whole household, labor & expenses. The dad keeps all his money, benefits from her labor, while watching his kids starve b/c he earned it right? Good for him - Capitalism baby!

In which Trump ordered, “flags half mast” right? No?

I think the left commentators are going on record with “don’t come after me.”

I can relate when I try to explain the state of our society, met back with blank stares of no knowledge of history or understanding of the present. It’s like trying to explain salmonella concerns handling raw chicken w/ people who have no idea what you’re talking about.

Now it just needs Trump‘s head (ego) to cover the entire map

I’ve been listening to @petedominick.bsky.social since the beginning of time, & I don’t think I’ve ever heard him sound this fierce-liberal. I think he’s at the end of his rope with the ridiculousness of the Trump side: youtube.com/watch?v=pP-o...

Let me describe the narcissist. People are scared of narcissists, but we realize they’re just babies, so we say don’t be afraid of a baby…but then give that baby a handgun. 😳 Now what if that narc baby is in the White House, affecting worldwide markets w/ tariffs and holds nukes. 😱

The Hungarian Model MAGA conservatives love Viktor Orbán. But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

The eventual fate of the GOP

New data on the reaction to Gavin Newsom’s new podcast: - Favorability amongst Liberals has declined from 46% to 30%. - While some Republicans agreed with his stances, they overwhelmingly viewed him as insincere, calling him “fake” and “pandering” - His net favorability dropped from +4 to -6, a 10-point swing in the wrong direction. - Only 13% of voters had an improved perception of him, and only 1 in 5 said the podcast made them want to tune in for more.

The U.S. has been suffering from a bad--potentially fatal--case of "it can't happen here." And now that we know it can, there are still plenty of folks whose eyes have yet to open to just how dangerous this situation is.

He went from: I will support him 80% to now 0%
