"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

Among the political challenges we face, one of the biggest is understanding so many of our friends and neighbors do not feel participating in our political process is worth their time or attention. Apathy and ignorance are part of it. But I believe millions believe it just won't make a difference.
Numbers don’t lie
Approximately
50 million people did not register to vote
240 million did register to vote
90 million did not vote
150 million did vote
That equals 140, million people that just don’t care.

While I'm definitely worried about the negative impacts of the next administration, I'm more worried about the cover-up of the impact data. Recall that Trump did everything he could to hide COVID data.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

so is anybody even going to bother to go through the motions of calling for Trump to divest from his businesses this time around, or did we just give up on that one too?

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs.
So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.

At this point, democrats have to concentrate on stopping the ones that will do the most damage.
Forget the distraction nominees. Focus on the serious threats.
Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth remain the most problematic.

It’s worth reminding everyone barely two weeks ago Elon Musk was openly saying he and Trump are going to crash the economy and cause “hardship.”

Since 1974, vaccination has averted 154 MILLION deaths:
-- 146 million of those, children under age 5
-- 101 million of those, infants under age 1
Now THAT is pro-life.

In times like these, community is everything. That's why we are so honored to be part of this pro-democracy Bluesky community. It's great to see how quickly this platform is growing, reconnect with familiar faces, and actually be able to follow the latest news again! Let's keep this energy going!!!

It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.
