"What the Heck Just Happened" with @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @jbf1755.bsky.social

This talk felt empowering & positive, which is such a relief after so much doom.

There has been a shift. They discuss when shifts in history have made a difference in the past.

It’s long past time you all stopped using “Congress” when you mean “Republicans”. Not a single Democrat voted for this hot mess of an appointment. This endless grind to maintain a non-partisan tone, despite the partisanship of our fascist reality, is willfully blind, & a betrayal of your country.
It’s not just that Congress allowed the CDC crisis. Key lawmakers, on your payroll, allowed it despite statements showing they believe RFK’s views on vaccines are wrong.

RFK can say he is doing what he believes; the lawmakers can’t.

Will Congress start doing its taxpayer-funded job?

WATCH — Senator Ossoff grills Russ Vought: “You’re the budget director. Was it a mistake to fire hundreds of people responsible for safeguarding our nuclear stockpile? It’s ok to admit it was, since you had to scramble to hire them back.”
Under grilling by Jon Ossoff, Russ Vought repeatedly refuses to admit that it was a mistake to fire the federal employees who oversaw the safety of the nuclear stockpile (a mistake the administration acknowledged when they had to scramble to hire them back)

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. 

It’s between democracy and oligarchy. 

The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted. 

Know the truth.

Masked and unmarked ICE agents (real or fake) are causing fear and chaos in our communities. California legislators have introduced the No Secret Police Act, which would prohibit law enforcement officers from hiding their identities during public operations. Urge your local leaders to act. 👇

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.
