Because Trump/Trumpism - the very essence of which is authoritarianism, nationalism, intolerance, anti-freedom, and anti-truth - is itself an attack on America.👇

Always remember that Trump is as incompetent as he is malevolent. 👉

How Tulsi Gabbard Became a Favorite of Russia’s State Media President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick to be the director of national intelligence has raised alarms among national security officials.

“No evidence has emerged that Gabbard has ever collaborated with Russia’s intelligence agencies.” Maybe not, but that doesn’t negate her role as a “useful idiot,” virtually a Putin stooge. She shouldn’t have a security clearance, much less head our Intell services

Visa & Mastercard control the credit card market. THEY set swipe fee rates, costing retailers & consumers billions annually. The Senate Judiciary Comm is holding a hearing today on the solution: The Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA). Call each Senator on Judiciary and tell them to support the CCCA.

Another word I'm starting to get sick of (besides "mandate") is "agenda." Trump has cravings. Trump has impulses. Trump has pathologies. And he doesn't - and can't - see beyond himself.

The quiet competence of the Biden Admin was sadly ignored by the press

Isn't it ironic that the "family values" party (GOP) is the one causing families 2 fracture now? Most families have at least one Trumper, & since sane ppl r all sickened & angry about Trump & his fiends from hell, then we should have a very hard time stomaching any of them in our midst on holidays.

I love the diversity of interest on this app. In addition to not being force fed content that I'm not remotely interested in.

“bluesky is an echo chamber” the echo is sanity.

Just joining Bluesky. Feeling a little better already.

Never forget this. The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
