Jen in San Diego

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

@tigers.bsky.social pls start posting!

Well said

Same. Baseball is a mostly harmless distraction from our Trumpian dystopia. Go Padres!

Deploying Marines to LA isn’t normal. It’s a gross abuse of power similar to what we see from dictators around the world, setting the stage for martial law or full-on authoritarianism.

Resist

So true

Can we get it in Canada or Mexico?

Trump)

Dear Humans,

Here’s how it’s going to play out:

1. Republicans are going to attack Joe Biden until his last day and giddily celebrate his passing.

2. Then when Donald Trump inevitably passes away, and the world celebrates, these same people will feign outrage until the end of time.

They suck.

Pls show the lineup -- many of us don't use the bird app anymore

Mark your calendar for June 14th.

No kings in America!

Our tax dollars are paying someone to paint him this sick cat poop color.

It was always performative outrage.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Keep posting here Ben!

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

Just incredible

That's right.

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while:

Every state needs to do this ASAP

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

That kid was speaking truth, saying the Republicans keep talking about thoughts and prayers and what they need is action (policy changes) Damn right!
