The Dems are gonna run Harris again aren’t they? Lots of pro Harris, wistful postings lately, out of the blue (see what I did there) She wasn’t the right candidate then and she won’t be (yes, I voted for her) The whole lot has got to go. They told us who they are. Let’s believe them.

Damn it! I intentionally ordered this in 2025 to avoid just this. It took 4 weeks to arrive (the passes NEVER take that long). Hate to ask for a refund from the National Parks but this is not OK. Yes, I will be covering the front of this pass.

I live in WA State, I know people will be buzzing about the Super Bowl. I’m not the one, colleagues. Democracy is falling, you don’t get to discuss sports ball around me. Our joy must go on the back burner which I know is hard for most Americans. We have a crisis let’s not be distracted.

I hadn’t cried yet. I did last night after reading this. This is a good friend of a friend of mine. He lives in South Africa.
Not in my name.
@butterscotchpines.bsky.social . I don't know you, we've never met. Just know, as you watch your country descend into fascism. Evil can't last long term. We've been through this, we know. It probably will get worse, but if enough good people stand up and say, "Not In My Name"...

@emrazz.bsky.social: Any leads on women resisters in the streets who are also creating content? I have noticed I am only seeing content from (white men) the Ginger, Farmer, Veteran, and the yellow vest guy who may have SA 4 women!? Any women doing similar I can follow/be inspired by?

I'm convinced they're waiting for Trump to die before releasing the Files. We all know he's not well, he's clearly trying to collect accolades so he can bargain his way into heaven, and once he's gone his cronies can throw him under the bus and try to make themselves look good by comparison.

Oh the irony…..those big olde pick um trucks with tRump stickers and the “We the People” decal covering the entire back window.
Best be scraping the Constitution off your truck, big boy; your Daddy is not a fan.

There is no such legal or other "absolute immunity" protection for police or other law enforcement. All can be held responsible for their actions if they acted above and beyond their authority. "Self defense" can be argued as a legal defense but it must be justified.

Spokane 🙌
We are posted up outside LC High School here in Spokane, where hundreds of students have walked out of their class in protest of ICE. LC is one of six schools across the Spokane participating in the walkout, which was organized at a lunch table last Thursday.

Bless the Ford worker who called Donald Trump a pedophile protector to his face today, which made President Pedo Protector throw up his tiny middle finger.

The Trump Administration is no longer hiding their Nazi inspiration, with Noem adopting a slogan coined by convicted Nazi war criminal Kurt Daluebe, who ordered the murder of every male in Lidice in retaliation for the death of a single SS officer.

Is this Trump's plan for American cities?

We are putting too much hope into “the eventual Nuremberg 2.0 trials.” They might never come and we can’t assume they will. We must not rest on this assumption. It makes us lazy and complicit.

Today a US citizen was murdered by the US government. How you all digesting this? Just another new normal to grow accustomed to?

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

We knew it. We’ve always known it. Girls and women are not safe and the predators are literally running the show. We collectively protect predators and pedophiles. And those of you making excuses: a Merry Fuck you to you.
Before this is taken down, screenshot it and download the file. Here’s the link to the unredacted version. Read page 16.

As the USA races towards fascism I like to distract myself by following closely and interjecting myself into the bromance between @tristentaylor.bsky.social and @boerewoes.bsky.social.
The love/hate between you two is basically the only things keeping my hope alive.

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.

No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.

That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

This (sweeps arm around), all of this, is to cover up for rapists on the Epstein list, isn’t it?

Not only are we losing our rights and flirting with fascism but even our romance novels look awful. Like if Democracy is going to collapse could we AT LEAST have spicier novels to be distracted by?

We did little but sat around hoping for a hero to save us from a collapsing Democracy. We realized too late that we were the heros the USA needed. We now wring our hands, “but what could we have done!?” we cry. We could have tried. I’m scared and you should be too.
