Well I'm not leaving California. I love it here ❤️ And I love my governor.

We’re living in the dumbest timeline right now…

THIS is why. bsky.app/profile/craz...

Another "No Kings Day" has been in the works for awhile. That is fine, but I hope we have plenty of signs saying "No Dictator" and "Impeach Trump," or at least "25th Amendment Trump Out." I just don't see enough people really ready to do much about the Trump Regime yet. Time will tell.

We’re not waiting anymore. We’re taking action. Next action: No Kings! Find a protest or rally location at www.nokings.org #nokings

We can address this, not by maintaining the status quo or regressing back into laissez-faire capitalism, but by advancing toward an economic system where ownership is shared.

You’re right, the bottle certainly isn’t being filled from the glass at the top.

The thing is, the bottle is filled by the glasses at the bottom (work and taxpayer subsidies) It's really more like a reverse pyramid, or the gravity works in reverse

Trickle down economics was Reagans scam to give to the rich.

Or just standing in the way of the “inevitable”, as if these changes were not being deliberately brought about by policy, choice and propaganda. (Sound anything like the same arguments made today for AI and crypto, anyone?)

yep, if anyone dared mention it over the last 40 years, until very recently, we were yelled at for being "conspiracy theorists".....🙄

🙏🏼@rbreich.bsky.social Wish I’d known you in 80’s & 90’s when my colleagues told me to shut up about inequality because they were selling their small production companies to multinationals for millions. Free speech & constitutional repercussions never occurred to them. I felt crazy & gaslit.

Funny how the people who supposedly took all the wealth …. are those who are still poor and not the oligarchs whose wealth increased dramatically over the past 40 years? Again demonstrates the level of mass delusion in this country. The oligarchs did a good job indoctrinating the public.

Immigrants, the underpaid, the unemployed, the disabled.... everybody gets a turn.

Or immigrants

But the middle class American doesn't notice, because he's too busy spitting on the lower class who he has been conditioned to blame.

One of my old favorites... MAGAs are absolutely clueless.

Still waiting for any ounce of Integrity…

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

The sequel to We Want Them Infected is done! COVID killed 1.2 million Americans while vaccines saved millions. Yet, disinformation superspreaders were empowered, where they are taking a wrecking ball to science & medicine. How did that happen?🧵 sciencebasedmedicine.org/everyone-els...

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

What should he do? Spell it out

What would you like him to do Alejandra - serious question

Can't all 🩵states come together, file suit against the fed govt, withhold fed $$ that bails out red states, form a coalition that goes on all media to show what #TACO turd is doing, call up all NG mbrs in their states for 30+ days to support local regions in needed work e.f., levies, roads, repairs

It's wild how quickly the outrageous shit the cops get up to gets thrown down the Memory Hole and passes out of public consciousness. NYPD, LAPD, and Chicago PD openly operate as gangs and nobody in the media or government talks about it, ever.

Oh wow, I had forgotten that, thank you for the reminder. That’s really chilling.

Politicians are straight up unable to hold the police to account. The police have everyones address, weapons, rage issues, and media narrative control. They get to decide what laws get enforced against who. We created a monster and built it an occupying military force in every town in the US

My question also- what can he and other blue state governors do? Call up their guard to defend the state against the federal government? Aside from emergency legal action, what can they do? It’s all so nuts.

What do you want him to do, Alejandra? What would you do if you were in his shoes?

In Illinois, we will do everything within our power to look out for our neighbors, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law.

I will not call up our National Guard to further Trump’s acts of aggression against our people.

State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

I want to be clear: there is no need for military troops on the ground in the State of Illinois.

None of it was in pursuit of justice, but all of it was in pursuit of social media videos.

Yesterday, Kristi Noem’s and Greg Bovino’s masked agents threw chemical agents near an elementary school, arrested elected officials exercising their First Amendment rights, and raided a Wal-Mart.

This demand follows unprecedented escalations of aggression against Illinois citizens and residents.

They will pull hardworking Americans out of their regular jobs and away from their families all to participate in a manufactured performance -- not a serious effort the protect public safety. For Donald Trump, this has never been about safety. This is about control.

In the coming hours, the Trump Administration intends to federalize 300 members of the Illinois National Guard.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
