“My senses
Newly opened
Cause I awakened
To the cry
That the people
Have the power
To redeem
The work of fools.
Upon the meek
The graces shower
It’s decreed
The people rule.”

In John 6:15, Jesus miraculously feeds 5,000 people and the crowd's so impressed they try to seize Jesus and make him their "king," by force.

But Jesus "withdrew again to a mountain by himself" to avoid their attempt, bc he was not about earthly power.

Jesus = "No Kings."

Maddening especially since Dump admin 2.0 announced they’re giving a ton of subsidies to oil.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

MOTHER JONES: “Trump’s top intelligence officer fabricated evidence to support a sham Justice Department criminal investigation that could lead to a show trial of former President Barack Obama and his aides. This is autocracy in action.”

Trump told the American people that Iran’s nuclear program had been completely and totally obliterated.

No such evidence has been presented to Congress.

And the people know it, which is why it’s so unpopular.

As it says, ICE has a "policy", while Congress has the law. Law beats policy every time.

Vance is here to grab content he can post on X, using your replies. Starve the beast.
This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.
Vice-President JD Vance confirms he has joined BlueSky.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators. 

Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner this week said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations.

Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets.

It's all out in the open.
