Former Republican but now registered Democrat. Christian but never Christian nationalist. The next 4 years have me stressed. Love running/biking/hiking/kayaking.
@skyejethani.bsky.social your questions about the effectiveness of protest are good. But I keep telling myself that NOTHING will happen if I DON’T protest. I wonder if the differences you mentioned from history is that the civil rights protestors didn’t give up.

Crockett: They have a Trump trifecta. So, if the government shuts
down, it is going to be on Trump and his minions. It is not going to be on us because we weren't elected to gut social security, medicaid, medicare, and USAID. That's not what we campaigned on. So that's not what we're going to do.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Did you know that USAID was investigating Elon Musk's Starlink company regarding its contracts in Ukraine?

Musk's attack on USAID is only about his money.

Meanwhile, Trump LOVED USAID when Ivanka worked with it.

What's changed? President Musk.
Elon Musk's Enemy, USAID, Was Investigating Starlink's Contracts in Ukraine
The agency was in the midst of a probe into the billionaire's equipment at the time of Musk's assault.

FUN FACT: trump CAVED yet again today, this time to Canada, to postpone his tariffs another 30 days.

The border security plans Canada is enacting were ALREADY planned while President Biden was in office.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

I have been emailing my senator Thom Tillis regularly about Pete hegseth. I feel betrayed. I tried to call his DC office tonight but his voice mail was full. Wonder why.

There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose.

Both have active death threats from Iran.

All to intimidate.

This is the opposite of a real man of God. This is evil

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.

As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.

In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.

Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.
