There is a fine distinction between sharing mis- and disinformation and fighting it. Make sure you do not share just to be sharing and by doing so exacerbating the problem. Anyone whose first interaction with me is a request for money will be blocked.

Hoodlum Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She's been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security

Did you see this?
Dan Pfeiffer comments that this statement by Perino is one of the least self-aware, Perino: He (Newsom) should stop imitating Trump's message style. Perino: You have to stop at (sic) with the Twitter thing. If I were his wife, I would say you are making a fool of yourself, stop it... He's got a big job as governor of California but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little more serious.

Wonder how much he misses by not reading (or listening) to daily briefings.
When advised that Ukraine blew up half of Russia's strategic bomber fleet Trump says nothing, Wiles says nothing and then Trump says: Joe Biden was replaced in 2020 by a robot

Feel free to find some assassinated or otherwise ill-treated politicians to strengthen the message.
Above a picture of Nelson Mandela who was imprisoned 27 years, is the following text: “No politician in his, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly. Donald Trump

If the Senate passes the "One Big Beautiful Bill" and Trump signs it, that's it. It becomes law. And here's what that really means: • He can delay or cancel elections--legaly. • He can ignore Supreme Court rulings for a year or more. • He can fire government workers for political disloyalty. • Judges can't enforce their own orders. • Protests can be tracked and criminalized. • LGBTQ+ rights, education, health care, and media? Gutted. Your VPN? Tracked. Your vote? Suppressed. Your speech? Flagged. This bill doesn't break the law. It rewrites the law so Trump never has to break it again. We don't need to wonder what would happen if authoritarianism came to America. It's here-in 1,100 pages, dressed up as "freedom." teegdufehttahw If you've ever said, "It won't be that bad" or "The courts will stop him" just know: this bill makes it so they can't.

Ted Littleford - if it turns out he is on Bluesky, please let me know, I could not find him here.
Cartoon shows the GOP elephant with a spade in his back next to a grave marker "GOP RIP". Text balloon says First Trump came for my backbone and I did nothing, then he came for my balls and I did nothing and finally he came for me, and I had no backbone or balls to stop him
