"You can replace 'wokeness' in any sentence with 'being a decent person' and fully understand what’s being said." - Dana Simpson, 2025

'Americanism' must be eliminated forever. The fight for Western Civilization has begun, US Department Of Labor, but the current Trump regime is - against - Western Civilization, not for it. It seeks fascist domination and Putin-derived destruction of all liberty and rights. And it must be ended.

IMPEACH INDICT REMOVE Say the protest signs. Okay... but Trump has already been impeached twice - including for incitement of insurrection. Trump has been indicted 34 times to date. I'd say that bus has sailed. All that is left is to remove. That's what we need. Trump to be removed. Now.

One thing that bothers me is that nobody has ever visually represented just how weird the enchanted Land Of Oz truly is, as taken from the books. Munchkin Country, for example, is blue. Really blue. The trees are blue, the grass, the flowers, the clothing, the wood of houses and carts - all blue.

This is exactly how Nazi Germany kicked into gear from Democratic Germany. Listen to Chris - if Trump gets away with this crap, eventually it will be acted on. Then the camps will open... for all of you.

I trumping hate this magafied trumpfuck of a year.

Get rid of Trump! There must be fifty ways to leave that loser: The problem is all inside your head The answer is easy if you take it logically There must be fifty ways to leave that loser. Impeach the fuck, Chuck, Amendment Fourteen, Gene, The Twenty-Fifth's a gift - Just listen to me.

This Trans Awareness Week, be aware that I am trans. I transitioned, MtF, back in 1981 at the age of 21, the earliest I could do so safely - even so, my father put a gun to my head and nearly killed me a week from my surgery. But things got much better. I have a wonderful life with zero regrets.

LGBTQ Shrink is always an uplifting voice on Bluesky, offering posts that make me feel better in these tough times. But also there are posts like this one, reminding us that the world has always been diverse - and filled with the reality of love.

This was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also known as FDR, who was the 32nd president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. He was a socialist democratic president. Listen to him. This is the thing republicans are terrified of, the thing they hate, the socialism they despise:

SNAP: Donald Trump is deliberately refusing two court orders to give you food, deliberately starving you, to try to force democrats to give in and allow him to take away your health care forever. Donald Trump is starving you as political leverage. Donald Trump is breaking the law to starve you.

Woke lets you drive around without cops gunning you down. Woke lets you be trans without a PTA meeting to exclude you. Woke lets you go to college without becoming a slave to debt. It lets children read, lets people vote easily, values science and keeps our air and water clean. Woke is good!

God damn I love Mamdani, and what he has to say.

If you want democracy, if you want America back, if you want your country back - Get every last republican out of power. No more republican anything. Oust them all. Eliminate the GOP. The republican party has to cease to exist if you are going to ever be free again.

I am 65 years old. Because of what I was taught in school, I truly believed that if the US ever was in danger of being overthrown by a dictator from within, by fascism, the checks and balances of the government would stop it, and if that failed, the people would rise up and physically stop the coup.

The constant attacks on trans folk make one wonder 'why do they hate us so much?' They don't. Not exactly. The Trump coup is simply following the same plan Hitler used in 1930 - unite a power base around hating the weakest minority that can't fight back. That's us. That is all there is to it.

"Every transgender suicide is not just a tragedy, its a murder; it’s the foreseeable consequence of policies designed to make us disappear." - Erin Reed

This little ditty from The Lincoln Project - a must subscribe here on Bluesky - is darkly funny, and fundamentally true. Trump destroyed the East Wing of the American White House - the people's house, not his house. He destroyed history to please his ego - and his thirst.

One of the best accounts to follow, here on Bluesky, is Mark Hamill, who always has his eye on the things that matter. Like Trump being a pedophile who has coopted the entire US government to protect the proof that he is a pedophile. Trump and his enablers must be removed from power.

Privilege comes in many forms.

Conservativism is, by its nature, always a soft wish for fascism and authoritarian rule.

This is your American White House being destroyed by Trump to add on a gaudy, cheap, ridiculous 'ballroom'. This is history - American history, being despoiled and ruined forever. Trump is demolishing part of the White House. The place where Lincoln and Kennedy and Roosevelt and Truman lived.

Vaccination should never be a choice. Vaccination is a public duty - one of the prices of living within civilization. If you disagree, may you suffer the millions of preventable deaths and maimings you will be responsible for. And God Damn Idaho, and all antivaxxer idiots.

Every single civil rights gain, every step towards equality in America has always had one basic foundation that made it possible: That religious freedom must always be sacrificed when faith would intrude on civil rights. Civil rights comes first, and religion must always bow and bend to that truth.

Don't let the republican-controlled media make you doubt what just happened. GOP billionaires own all the major, corporate news outlets - they have a vested interest in downplaying the American Revolution Against Trump. Instead, just look... and see.

Robert Reich shows us what is what. Great job, America. Just a really great job. Protesting is democracy in action.

The sheer scale and positivity of the most recent No Kings protest has, for the first time since all of this started, given me the beginnings of a feeling of real hope. If Americans can keep doing this, bigger each time, Trumpism, MAGA, and the GOP will be defeated. We could regain democracy.

“The attacks on transgender Americans are not happening in isolation; they’re a test run for dismantling democracy itself. Demonizing trans people is the canary in the coal mine, but the air is getting thin for everyone." - former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness, Shawn Skelly

The Constitution does not protect itself. Democracy does not run on autopilot. Freedom only survives when citizens refuse to accept the unacceptable.

Re: The inflatable frog protesters in Portland - Authoritarianism depends on rigid rules and dire seriousness. It can be psychologically disrupted by whimsy and silliness. Being ridiculous in the face of a Fascist threat destroys their fundamental premise. It can be more powerful than any gun.

March peacefully on October 18th, No King's Day - Trump is deliberately provoking violence to justify using the Insurrection Act. That will make him a true dictator, with absolute power. Don't give it to him! No matter what, don't fight - even if you are attacked! Think Gandhi. Give Trump nothing.

I am old, I remember them. To be trapped in one of these coffins for the living is a hellish existence. Anti-vaxxers are nothing less than terrorists, and should be treated as such.

Sophie is always a source of vast wisdom, and here makes it clear what system we are currently under in America...

This is literally happening right now in America. The only thing unrealistic about this video is that a congressman was present. Otherwise, this could be a real video taken by a phone - as so many have been - of exactly such a kidnapping. You are living in a Nazi country. Wake up and fight it.

'Conversion Therapy' is torture. Period. That is all it is - torture, psychological and physical, and it sometimes results in permanent crippling injury and even death. Saying 'Conversion Therapy' is like saying 'Facial Rearrangement Therapy' to describe being repeatedly punched in the face.

I keep telling all of you bastards to 'rise up, arrest Trump and his enablers for treason, and save the country', but I do not expect anything to be done. I am convinced we will end up repeating Nazi Germany in the former US. I still exhort you, though, to clear my conscience. At least I spoke up.

America is Germany in 1932. History may not be precisely repeating, but it is mirroring by the Project 2025 book. Until Trump and his enablers are arrested for treason, this will only get worse until our concentration camps become extermination camps. All this took less than a year.

Apparently the hats don't actually - need - to be pointy. Interesting.

How long before the Trump regime makes the declaration that Democrats are 'Enemies Of The State' and are subject to arrest? How long now, before America becomes an open dictatorship, instead of just a quiet one pretending nothing has changed? Not long now, I think. End this regime.

Arrest Trump and his enablers for treason, now. Right now.

If Democrats do not have the unity and the courage to shut Trump's regime down today - the ultimate rejection of, and embarrassment for Trump's agenda - then they are no longer a viable political party, and have abdicated any relevancy in politics.

What everyone fails to understand is that ICE now stands for: Imperial Caucasian Enforcers ICE exists now to Make America White Again, Straight again, Christian again, and all else must be eliminated. No blacks, no browns, no queers, no other religions, all for Fuhrer Trump and the Regime.
