I find @fotoole.bsky.social among the most insightful observers of Trump’s autocracy.

"If Democrats want to regain trust ahead of the 2026 elections, they need to show they are willing to take on Big Tech with the urgency that everyday Americans are demanding."

He promised to hurt "them," not us. "Trump’s supporters appeared to be willing to tolerate his lies and obscenity, but only so long as their personal comfort was maintained...voters to be more approving when they have money in their pocket."

Candidate accused of inciting ‘class warfare’. "...[James] Talarico responded that there is already class warfare in the US. ‘It’s the billionaires waging war against the rest of us, and right now the billionaires are winning,’ explained the Texas Democrat..." www.commondreams.org/news/james-t...

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Was still being pals with Epstein - and not just like mid-90s Palm Beach, but up until recent day - a fucking qualification for a role in this administration? Jesus. I guess it makes sense! Keeping everyone in line is easier when they *all* know that every day is indeed a wonderful secret.

If you want to get away from #fascistUSA in 2026, come visit #California This “popped” up today.

We proudly signed the #BillionaireTax initiative in California last night in front of our local grocery. LFG! Here's the plan.

Good news. This law should have never existed in a democracy. If there is one lesson from WWII it's that genocide must be called out. #Gaza #Palestine #UK

Pam Bondi Thought That Went Pretty Well

“This is a slap in the face for all of the millions of Americans who are experiencing the devastating costs of extreme heat, wildfires, flooding, and storms. Earthjustice and our partners will see the Trump administration in court.” #climate

See you in court, Trump. You will lose. #climate “There is no way to reconcile EPA’s decision with the law, the science and the reality of disasters that are hitting us harder every year. Earthjustice and our partners will see the Trump administration in court.” - Abigail Dillen, Earthjustice

The AG finally told the truth this morning under oath. All that matters to these people is that the Dow is at an all time high and that they continue to keep raking in a fortune at the expense of Americans and American democracy.

Roger Ebert hated that people in #Marin argued about how accurate "Serial" was. To the Chicagoan it seemed like ridiculous farce. Thumbs down. As a California kid, I can assure you, a lot of it was true. Long live the Age of Aquarius. #California #1970s

I can almost see Amy Poehler doing warm-up stretches for this week's SNL. She nailed #PamBondi last time. And today's testimony is far more unhinged and hilarious.

#MayDay2026 is going to be a thing this year. Stay tuned. Get connected.

People who are detained at the camp are putting notes on plastic bottles and hurling them over a wall and two fences. The conditions: “We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.” lataco.com/captive-loti... @lataco.bsky.social

The proud ignorance of #carfree life. Excuse me, do you know which day the street sweepers come? No. Don't own a car. Never paid attention. I think there is a sign down there. How long have you lived here? 20 years. You can take the spot in front of our house.

Has anyone yet praised the camerawork of the #BadBunny halftime show? It was astounding. #SuperbowlLX They had cameras everywhere, all in motion. Quite a feat of choreography and technology. Shout out to the people behind the scenes who pulled this off.

Hey Caltrans better not to ignore elected officials & advocates all asking for the same thing: Build 3 blocks of protected 🚲 lanes connecting Ohio to Ohio during your repaving project You CAN do this but are refusing to. No more excuses! 🎥 @carterrubin.com @mobilityforwho.bsky.social

A beloved leader of the Sacramento music scene in the 90s has passed. Thanks for teaching us how to be cool, #GregBrown.

Beautiful long jam Velvet Underground-style. Lou Reed loved #theFeelies and brought them on his "New York" album tour. Get your headphones and a joint. Crank it up!

"The Epstein Class" #progressivepopulism Long overdue. The working class is up for grabs right now. Independents are done with Trump and they are 45% of voters.

Four people have died and three others have required a liver transplants after eating the death cap mushroom that is proliferating in California following a rainy winter.

The biggest "party" in the USA is Independents. Keep an eye on this. Perhaps ICE acting as death squads and killing a conceal carry citizen was over the line for Independent voters.

Because kidnapping him wasn't enough bad PR. #FuckIce WASHINGTON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Friday it is seeking to deport ​a 5-year-old Ecuadorean boy who was detained in Minnesota last month.

This American Life, known for local stories like Prom Night, is very different this week: 911 operators being bombarded by people being assaulted by ICE and not knowing whom to call or what to do. The entire podcast. Chilling and eye opening. Listen if you can.

#Melania has sold one of the potential 500 seats available today at our local AMC. That can't be sustainable. That's not enough revenue to power the popcorn machine. What a dismal flop.
