Since it seems VERY HARD for certain people to understand why it’s simply impossible to hold a free and fair election in a country while they are being attacked and occupied by another nation. I present you this:

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Sad news. Jack Smith is a man of integrity. I just hope the reports are released, so his hard work leads to the truth coming to light.
POLITICO reports: “Special counsel Jack Smith has completed his work on two criminal investigations of President-elect Donald Trump and resigned Friday from the Justice Department.”
Jack Smith resigns from DOJ
The special counsel's departure was disclosed in a court filing submitted Saturday afternoon to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.

Loving Molly Jong-Fast’s take on Who Won the Week.🔥

“Bluesky, because 25 million people, not owned by Meta, just its own thing…this week Meta gave $1 million to the Donald Trump inaugural, and all the more reason to get off of Threads and Twitter.”

All Luigi has to do is announce his run for President ... that's how it works now according to DOJ too.

Are people forgetting that in November 2023, a Colorado District Court ruled that Donald Trump "engaged in insurrection" against the United States, and under the 14th amendment of our Constitution is ineligible to hold office?

They played the long game, like a narcissist.
If you've been awake, you would have seen it unfolding over at least the last 40+ years.
I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.

We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.

It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

For the Magaidiots in the back, here are some facts:

- Donald Trump did not win this election in a “landslide”. He does not have a “mandate”. He won by one of the smallest margins in our history.

PLEASE REMEMBER:

trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history.

He does NOT have a mandate, no matter what he says.

That means we push back against every single batshit crazy policy he tries to pass.

EVERYTHING.
Mandate my ass.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.
