Make America Great Again For Whites.

I guess we should say whites who are not poor, disabled, LGBTQIA+, etc. This is where we are in the USA today.

We are being sold to the highest bidder which is currently Qatar.

Fascist dictators can only become fascist dictators by enslaving their people with poverty, illness, violence, and terror. It’s how they overcome our resistance. That’s why Trump, Elon, and Putin are doing this to us. They can only win by Making America Weak, Sick, and Poor.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

Michael McFaul is an American academic & diplomat who served as the US ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014. We need his voice right now on BlueSky, but his account is barely off the ground. Can we all please do what we can to boost his followers so he spends time HERE?!

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Hey world, please wake up and accept this horrible truth: Donald Trump works for Putin. Trump is on Putin’s side. He always has been. The President of the United States is on Putin’s side. And world, please know that so many of us in the United States apologize for this horrible truth. We truly do.

Both are true:

1. This is what the American people voted for.

2. The American people didn’t truly understand what they were voting for.

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy.

If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

There are more people who want American democracy to survive than there are people who want to destroy it.
Let's act accordingly.

Klobuchar: What is the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale.

Klobuchar: Ok. For any Republican Trump Administration person who wants to throw eggs at me because of that joke. You can’t because they’re too expensive.
