A violent rhetoric spread by a major political party will always lead to violent results.

Zelensky is a hero to Ukraine, and Trump is a traitor to America. It is just that simple.

Amazingly grotesque. The republican administration is taking money meant to help people in disasters, and then using it to punish and deport immigrants who perform so many valuable and needed services in our country.

Some of the clearest evidence there is that the supposed “assassination attempt” was choreographed for tRump’s promotional benefit. tRump’s aid knew to bring the photographers around to a known location to take the promotional photo that we’ve all seen countless times. Criminal on so many levels.

Very long partial list of how tRump and his Republican Assets are destroying America. This list is bound to get even longer because it is just from the past 7 months.

Always remember that Trump is very good at distraction. The latest is Epstein. Sure, there’s a lot of dirt there, but that was 2019. Why now? Distraction. His own private army. Gutting services. Mass deportation. Destroying democracy. Crypto profits. And on and on. Stay focused on the real issues.

This did not go well. When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers : The Salt : NPR

The voter purge is happening. We must block the republican plan to win elections in 2026, and beyond. Their strategy prevented many thousands of legitimate voters from casting a ballot in 2024. Their plan is to keep doing it in even greater numbers giving them a majority. They must be stopped.

Should we paint MAGAs in broad strokes? Perhaps we should. This writer lays it out in detail.

As we get further into the Trump era (or error), doom scrolling turns into research. Here’s a good blog that I recommend supporting.

Can’t make this stuff up. Trump names 22 year old to be in charge of domestic terrorism. Thomas Fugate, the 22-Year-Old Leading Trump’s Terrorism Prevention Hub

Doubt what one is shown - always. There is a long list of very suspicious circumstances about Trump’s supposed assassination attempt.

The Project 2025 Republican plan is like The Great Leap Forward disaster in China - 1958 to 1962, led by Mao Zedong, leading to between 15 and 55 million deaths. Strategy: Make rapid changes regardless of costs and lives lost. Lasted: 4 years. Total obedience. Ignore suffering. Catastrophic results.

2025 Civil War - We must wake up to the fact that the extreme right has started their war. They have breached the front lines and are now engaged in a constant onslaught to disorient the left. They have the courts, media, pentagon, nearly everything. We must fight back, and do so very quickly.

Great signs at the many resistance rallies across the US. Let’s keep this up and show our opinions to this horrible authoritarian regime.

This is plain and simple market manipulation by Trump, and the (possibly) illegal sharing of insider information. He absolutely knew he was going to postpone the tariffs and that the stock market would rise substantially. There are many ways to transfer wealth to his buddies. This is one of them.

The most scary article I have read recently. An evil plan to retain and grow in power, eliminating foes and those who would oppose a third term. It’s right out of the playbook from Russia and other authoritarian governments. Everyone needs to know how he plans to stay in power - so we can fight it.

Judges are smacking down Trump and Musk in ruling after ruling. This is good. Hope it keeps happening and that the law is respected again.

In Greenland, dogs appear to walk on water. But this photo reveals ominous signs of climate change, as warming periods occur more frequently, and more ice melts, like in so many other locations in the world. This will lead to rising sea levels and many other negative effects for our planet and life.

Tesla stock is WAY overpriced with a stock price to earnings ratio (P/E) of about 118. Ford and other major car makers have a P/E of ONLY about 6. I’m not a stock analyst, but like I said, Tesla is way overpriced, and their car sales are plummeting. One month stock price chart shows it’s down 32%.

More losses for Elon Musk. Spacex - Starlink is losing business, Tesla stock and sales are plummeting, and Xitter is a shell of what it once was. He and Trump are a losing pair.

Musk is the clearly the biggest waste of tax payer money and focus. His Doge department is a ridiculous tragedy that will negatively affect us all in many ways.

I’m glad that, at the very least, the world can see that not everyone in the US is okay will abandoning Ukraine 🇺🇦. It is so unbelievably sad that the orange turd that now leads our country has voted in the UN to not condemn Russia’s war against Ukraine. He is a traitor to decency and to democracy.

We must stand up against Elon Musk - As in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.

Trump is a traitor. No doubt about it. He is doing exactly what Putin wants. Side note: Who had the most to gain from Trump winning? Putin - And he is a master at fixing elections.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says Democrats must stop cooperating with the Trump administration. Show some resistance whenever and however they can. Don’t give in to fight another day. Fight now. Now is the time. “Don’t play nice.” Speak out, block the republican agenda at all fronts. Be a strong voice.

Absolutely true. Our country is quickly and systematically being destroyed. Our rights, our treasury, our privacy, our land, air, and environment, our rule of law, our common sense of decency, our democracy. Veterans benefits too. And think about this: Maybe our actual voting tabulation systems.

Here’s an example of how to call your senators and representatives. Phone calls are the best way, and it’s most effective to actually talk to a person who is designated for that issue. Emails are ignored. Voicemails are too, but better than nothing. Say your zip code to show you vote in their area.

A coup is in progress. It is time to admit it. Private individuals being granted full access to private information, employees being fired just for doing their jobs, censorship and control of mainstream media, rapid changes to disorient the public, and much more. This is happening right now.

Treasury Secretary is being sued for illegally allowing Musk full access to Treasury payments system controlling Trillions of dollars and breaking privacy policy laws enacted in 1974. This is a clear privacy breach, and the largest data hack in US history. Democrats also pushing forward legislation.

Alert! Here’s the actual reason for the helicopter and plane crash in Washington DC. The helicopter was conducting a training exercise ordered by the current republican administration to practice extricating politicians from DC in an emergency. Why would republicans think they might be in danger?

In the article: Think of our government as a car. When you take it into the shop, the mechanics, who don’t look like mechanics, tell you that they have taken parts of your car that work, sold them and kept the money. And that this was the most efficient thing to do. And that you should thank them.

A theory: Elon Musk obtained the keys to the Treasury payments system because on X/Twitter, he has created a payments system. But he has no users yet. Take control of the Treasury data, and suddenly he has massive payments to process. Big money there. Elon now has your ss number on his hard drives.

Worth a read. Nobody with half a brain is backing Trump’s tariffs. It will be a disaster for the US financially. And it’s a complete slap in the face to our Canadian friends, and to our important Mexico trading partners. No one seems to know how this benefits us. He writes about awful Elon too.

This podcaster is a true hero, and has been doing great work for our democracy for a decade. I hope she’s staying safe, and that she is able to continue doing her amazing podcast holding truth to power. Check out and subscribe to her podcast, and at the very least, follow her here at Bluesky 🦋

Rubio has had warmonger tendencies. I hope Panama is clear that the canal will never be taken by the United States. It is theirs - as per our previous agreements. Another power grab from republicans. Republican Nazis are on the march, and they want more of everything. They’re coming for yours too.

A Harvard law professor says that Trump is the most lawless president that America has ever seen. His purpose is to overwhelm everyone, including the legal system. His complete disregard of laws and norms are unprecedented. This is a tactic his people are using to cause total mayhem and confusion.

Some ways to fight the republican machine and save democracy: contact your representatives, help to get out the vote, write here at Bluesky and in other websites and online discussion forums, give financial support and/or your time to democratic organizations, educate low-information acquaintances.

This “5 year old” states her opinions very well. Definitely worth a read and share. We need more 5 year olds like her 😀 Saying it plain and simple what her opinions of Trump and republicans are. Let us all be more like her, and sing it in the streets and forums - to everyone and everywhere.

Trump is an idiot, as we all know. He’s forced California to release billions of gallons of water just to prove he can do it. Now California might not have enough water to water the crops that we all depend on. Yes, more inflation, and maybe food shortages too. Ridiculous. What an awful person.

Trump is at war with everyone and every institution. This is a government takeover. Nothing less. A quiet coup is happening right before our eyes. The media is in on it too. Be careful where you get your news. This is happening. Seems unbelievable, like something from a dystopian novel. Frightening.

Yes, tariffs are a money grab, a way to redistribute wealth. Normally, the redistribution of wealth is a democratic goal to tax the rich. But in this case, regular Americans will pay the price, and the rich will keep getter richer. That’s the kind of wealth redistribution that republicans like.

Musk is currently the world’s richest person, and that is only because of Tesla - which jumped up in value significantly after Trump was elected. But Tesla is actually losing huge amounts of money with sales plummeting. This is a losing car company propped up by tax credits and bitcoin.

This is crazy. Elon Musk and his team have locked all others out of the government computer system that has information on 2.2 million civil servant employees. No one else knows what they’re doing. They’ve locked the doors and moved in sleeper sofas. Nobody elected Elon Musk. He must be stopped.

Trump is a cold heartless sociopath that does not deserve the office he holds, nor the respect of any American. It is so sad that he received the number of votes that he did. How can half of American voters have chosen him. Of course, one third of eligible voters don’t bother to vote. That’s how.

Good news: Judge blocks Trumps order to freeze federal grants. He does not have the authority to halt funding of already approved grants. Major defeat against Trump. Hope many more follow.

With the Trump administration censoring health news from government sources, how can we avoid a future pandemic? They’re in denial, and Kennedy will be no help. Maybe they want a culling of the weak - just like Hitler did. They’ll have medicine and doctors for themselves and other rich people.

I’ve been weaning myself off CNN for the last several months after it’s become more and more obvious that they’re controlled by the right wing. Of course, it’s actually been this way for a long time. It’s just become so blatant now. There are much better options, many of which are right here 🦋

Pete Buttigieg would make a great senator. Would love to see him in the senate in 2026.
