Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.

It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇
Growing list of reasons Trump should step down:
- Cover up of his involvement in notorious sex trafficking ring
- Unprecedented corruption, self enrichment
- Tariffs are historic, unprecedented abuse of power
- Illegal desecration of most important global symbol of American democracy
Mike Johnson is really committed to covering up for Trump and Epstein

Good discussion.

I agree with @hcrichardson.bsky.social on targeted strikes vs. a general strike in the US. The political scientist in me urges many to go back and better understand the period from 1870 through Jim Crow.

In votes over the past 2 days the Senate has voted to repeal Trump's tariffs on Brazil and Canada. It's a remarkable rebuke of Trump, a sign of growing discontent inside the GOP.
