Brazilian president: "I'd like to say something to the American people; If Trump was Brazilian and did what he did at the Capitol, he'd be on trial in Brazil for violating the Constitution. He would be arrested if he had done that."

Do you get the joke?

If you’re like me and don’t care to see W*rdle results, click the ‘…’ on any post for the option to mute all posts containing the word ‘W*rdle’. Works like a charm!!

I fear there is deep truth here.

Thanks. Same for you, Mark.

The MAGA faithful do not comprehend dependency on govt services. They believe the myth of self-sufficiency. That is, until those services are no longer available and then - holy hell do they complain about inadequate govt!! The answer is not cutting services; instead, raise taxes on the wealthy.

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care.

It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

Remove and replace the entire Trump administration. Remove MAGA from all levels of government. Most important, remove the oligarch's power - the billionaires who control the media, control the government, and control the economy - with wealth and income taxes.

Restore democracy!

I suggest, to borrow your phrase, there is not a “way to ‘greed’ our way out of this” either. When societies have periods of great wealth inequality, they either adapt to improve the condition of the people, or they risk instability, collapse, or revolt. I believe it is better to chose the former.

Liberalism and progressivism are both political ideologies that share some common values and goals, but they also have distinct differences. Liberalism emphasizes individual rights, limited government intervention, and free-market capitalism. It seeks to protect civil liberties, promote equality of opportunity, and ensure social justice through a balance of personal freedom and government regulation. On the other hand, progressivism is a more modern and evolving ideology that focuses on social and economic reforms to address systemic inequalities and promote social justice. Progressives advocate for a more active role of government in addressing social issues, such as income inequality, healthcare, and climate change. While both ideologies aim to create a fair and just society, progressivism tends to be more interventionist and transformative in its approach, while liberalism leans towards preserving individual liberties and maintaining the status quo.

Wondering if you are Liberal or Progressive?

Read this simple article:

I find myself supporting progressivism because I believe there are critical social, economic, and climate crises for which government must take an active, leading role to address.

A screenshot of Zohran Mamdani, Democratic New York mayoral candidate, during his recent CNN interview. The ‘Breaking News’ chyron reads: Mamdani on if he likes capitalism: “No, I have many critiques”

“Why I call myself a democratic socialist, is the words of Dr King decades ago, 'Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism; there must be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country.' And that's what I'm focused on, is dignity and taking on income inequality."

Nice group of people to follow. Thank you for including me @abes48.bsky.social!!

You can practically smell the oligarch’s fear from here… Taxes are their kryptonite.

They will spend hundreds of millions against raising their taxes and taking their power away.

There’s no better sign this is the right thing to do!!!

Typical MAGA, everything is cosplay without any actual competence.

No government can stand for long when it is AGAINST the people rather than FOR the people.

What Padilla did was brave and sets an example others should follow. Images like these will help convince those who may have wavering support, and turn them fully against the Trump administration. The more people open their eyes, the closer we get to solving the problem.

I just filed an emergency motion in court to immediately block the ongoing and unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles.

The federal government is turning the military against American citizens. This is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.

Ahem.

On one hand, I have no sympathy for Musk. On the other hand, how unethical for the Pres. to cancel govt. funding over petty, personal squabbles. But here we are in America 2025. The best answer is the people elect politicians who will set things right. No billionaires or fascist in our government.

It will be called ‘Dumb Brother’ instead of ‘Big Brother’ because, you know, how incompetent the Trump administration is… 🤣

FEMA Scraps New Hurricane Plan and Reverts to Last Year’s — The Wall Street Journal Agency’s leader suggested he recently learned there was an annual hurricane season

As one who grew up along the southeast US coast and has experienced, many times, the broad destruction hurricanes cause, it is unfathomable that the federal government would not provide recovery assistance. But the billionaires need their tax cuts, so…

On a white background with rainbow colored hearts are the words “I’d rather be excluded for who I include than be included for who I exclude”

Be proud of who you are. Be passionate with whom you love. And let no one tell you any differently. Human rights for one of us are human rights for all of us. 🌈 #Pride

Read this article. It’s a good summary of the root cause problem in society, if you didn’t already know it.

Democracy is for all the people!!!

** Evidence You Might Be In A Cult **

You follow one charismatic Leader.

In your Leader’s mind, your Leader can do no wrong.

In your mind, your Leader can do no wrong.

Your Leader demonizes dissidents & outsiders.

Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion.

You don't know you're in a Cult

Are we allowed to say 86 TACO now?

Hi Wolves, I’m not following the connection between your comment and my post about taxing billionaires. Would you please explain?

Tax the billionaires. Fund healthcare, fund services, fund education, and save democracy!!
