It's certainly been my experience that people don't get that COVID (and flu etc) is a very real threat to me.

So I'm mostly a bubble boy.

Billionaires own everything, even reality itself.

For example, a hospital is understaffed, the nurses overworked. A patient’s family member doesn’t get seen for over two hours. Who is to blame? The nurses? The family…for getting mad? No.

Greed is to blame.

@plkachu.bsky.social I see you added @ceolivesmatter.bsky.social to your block list - that's a parody account, not actually a right winger.

So maybe a mistake or maybe you just don't like it ...

@theblackdahlea.com I noticed you have the parody account @ceolivesmatter.bsky.social in your Right Wingers list.

That account isn't actually right wing, it's making fun of them by acting like an absurd version like Mr Burns or Emperor Ming.

Oligarchs now own:

- the incoming President
- the majority of the Supreme Court
- half of Congress
- most of legacy and social media

They do not own:

- most of the American people
- our values
- our hope for better days...for all

This is our ground zero for the rebellion.

Millionaires and billionaires would be perfectly FINE not getting salary for 33 days, or even 333 days.

The average American, folks like you and me working paycheck to paycheck, would not. Do NOT let billionaires make decisions for US.

PASS IT ON.

What voters need to hear from Democrats right now is not introspective screeds about what they have done wrong, but sharp responses to what Trump is doing wrong.

Hey, Democrats. You Can Stop Playing Dead Now.
The time for wound licking is over. The party must now prosecute the case against Trump and his plans.
