In @nytopinion.nytimes.com If you want a sure sign that President Trump “still has an iron grip on this country,” Molly Jong-Fast writes, “look no further than the way some of this country’s most prominent celebrities — who once had no problem denouncing Mr. Trump — have fallen silent.”

I came to Bluesky to find constructive discourse about getting the Democratic Party on track. Instead, I find 99% of posters are hysterical, ignorant of how government works, of our legal system / processes and clueless about how to make the political system work. Just a bunch of screaming idiots.

Democrats shutting down the government is a tragic mistake. MAGA will declare a national emergency, impose martial law and we will never have another free election !!!

You might notice that Wall Street doesn’t care about freedom of speech or authoritarianism. German companies grew rich building concentration camps.

If you want an insight into what’s happening in Gaza and why, read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. Think of Palestinians as Indians and Zionism as Manifest Destiny.

Drumph’s approval rating is down but sadly favorability rating of the Democratic Party sank to -32% the lowest since 1996. Culture Wars are a giant waste of political capital.

If you own Tesla stock you are losing your arse !!!

US bombed Iran

The Iran regime is rotten to the core: Mossad recruited and deployed Iranian dissident Iranian nationals working undercover to position guided weapons systems near residences of military leaders, missile launchers and air defenses.

I wish I could hear the details of how Israel located and assassinated the Iranian generals. I wonder how vulnerable we are to that kind of violence?

Iran regime is going into survival mode. Violent suppression of internal dissent and communication blackouts are underway. If Iran decides it is going to lose the war, it will use WMDs in a doomsday scenario.

Russia. Iran. Paper tigers. China and North Korea are much the same.

As much as I disapprove of the destruction of Gaza, the Iran government should have realized that Iran’s fate will be the same. Total destruction of their infrastructure including oil, gas, petrochemical, electric power and other vital manufacturing. Iran will soon be a famine plagued waste land.

Iran must be full of anti government people helping Israel target generals and nuclear scientists. That’s a very good sign.

Being a Democrat may be hazardous to my health. Posting on Bluesky may be equally dangerous

Can someone please tell me how to filter out all the cats and dogs posts?

I am a life long Democrat, but this is unacceptable. These foreign students are preventing thousands of bright Americans from a premier education.

I came to Bluesky looking for a few Dems to share my misery. What I found was a complete meltdown dominated by hysterical people unhinged from reality and completely without any rational thoughts on how to save our democracy from collapsing into a Fascist dictatorship.

My Democratic Party has been hijacked by the politically insane determined to fight a culture war that benefits almost no one and alienates the vast majority of Americans. Turning our backs on unions, minimum wage, legal immigration, education and universal healthcare is self defeating.

Realty check - failure to impeach doomed our democracy.

Trump has said he would like to send “homegrown criminals” to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Be afraid. If you get sent to one of these slave labor prisons for saying the wrong thing on Bluesky, you will never return home.

If this is Schumer’s idea of leadership it’s no wonder MAGA rules.

I’m not surprised at this. I won’t be surprised if midterms are canceled by the Orange Fascist !!!

Sad to say but AOC is no longer typical of Hispanic politic. Most Hispanics now identity as white and most whites are now Republicans !!!!

I’m sick and tired of Dems waging culture wars. Changing the names of schools has not improved the lives of any Americans. Pursuing agendas that help a very few and alienate many while turning away from labor, healthcare, education and manufacturing is insane.

Trump is preparing Guantanamo to be a concentration camp for the likes of you and me.

Former Presidents and Democrat leaders are silent. The fear is palatable. They will be the first targets of the Trump Gestapo.

There will be no midterm elections. Remember you heard it here first.

Germans that said and wrote in 1933 stuff like we read here wound up getting shot or put into concentration camps. Just saying.
