Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty
How many of our neighbors have to
DIE before the red line is crossed and it’s enough? And when I say neighbors. they don’t have to be next door, our neighbors are everyone who lives in this country. Full Stop.🛑

What’s the over/under on the number of weeks until the 2nd Amendment is bulldozed over with “firearm surrender events” and then after that they come and take them, you know, for their protection because really, a well armed militia means the National Guard in each state. How long before it happens?

Can’t wait for the spin on the attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro. Article 1, Section 8 clearly states that only Congress can declare war, but the POTUS should still obtain an AUMF and has mowed over the War Powers Resolution of 1973. This is unjustified and only about imperialism.

Thank you for the reminder @rbreich.bsky.social. Our family has been doing that all this week and 100% believe in shopping local as much as possible. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you for your wisdom and voice, the calm in the storm of fascist chaos.
Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

My condolences to Spc. Sarah Beckstrom from the WV National Guard and her family. This should never have happened. We are entering a very dangerous time and phase as a nation. I am very worried that she will be turned into a modern Horst Wessell, a propaganda symbol. FFOUS started with his 🦃tantrum

It’s not the end, those losers have fanned out throughout the government to be decentralized and absorbed. Also, AirBnB will get $0 from us.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic lawmakers to be killed. Trump is putting my colleagues’ lives at risk because they have exercised their free speech rights under the First Amendment and Speech and Debate Clause.

I’m just going to leave this right here and remind everyone about the SCOTUS ruling a year and a half ago:

The terrifying SEAL Team 6 scenario lurking in the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling
The Supreme Court's immunity ruling this week makes the hypothetical scenario raised during oral arguments — in which a president can't be prosecuted for murder —  well, possible.

You know it’s bad when Marge makes sense by sounding like a real stateswoman for 30 seconds.

@marcelias.bsky.social Looks like it might be time to get a brief ready for the inevitable lawsuit. I was naive to think that serving in the NCGA was about representing your constituents & not consolidating power to be vindictive/punish those that actually want to help their fellow North Carolinians
I’ve seen this movie before — and I didn’t like the ending. NC Republicans gerrymandered me out of my seat and cost Democrats control of Congress.

Now they’re coming for Don Davis. They couldn’t beat him at the ballot box, so they’re going to cheat. That’s not democracy — it’s rigging the system.

These guys really are pushing for the rise of the 4th Reich, MAGA edition. And we knew it was coming via Project 2025. But here we are. It’s all propaganda all the time, filled with hate. Shame on them as they spit on the graves of those who sacrificed everything to stop this in World War II. Unreal
Goebbles or Miller?

The going after waste, fraud, and abuse was always MAGA projecting.

They were telling everyone that they would waste all of the time, money, and resources, commit fraud everywhere, & abuse their power at every opportunity given to them. That’s what they meant & are tightening their grip constantly.

This, all of this. They called it out in December and Scott Jennings gaslighted them all. How about now, Scott? How about now? Are we delusional snowflakes now? No, we are standing up to fascism and the authortarian road we are being marched down.

Good morning- Epstein files can be released today if Trump wants to.

“Why would anyone protect those scum bags? Ask yourself this question daily…”

Heather Cox Richardson’s latest letter spells it out so clearly and it’s ominous. This is just the confederacy reshaped as MAGA. All of traits are present. They said the South Will Rise Again and that is exactly what is happening. I can’t even right now. I’m sick to my stomach.

200 days into Trump's term, where are we?

In the race between Trump's authoritarianism and efforts to resist it, authoritarianism is ahead. And while there are hopeful signs from the public, the chance of effective resistance is, for now, being fatally undermined by the capitulation of the elites.

AMEN! Great speech Isaiah!!!

And that’s just it, they cower to their dear leader and put party over country instead of the opposite. It’s happening in Texas and all over. Stand up and fight back!
This was so good. I hope @maddow.msnbc.com plays it on her show tomorrow night.
Want to hear the speech that Isaiah Martin gave that shook republicans enough to arrest him?

Texas Republicans are pushing to redraw the state’s maps after pressure from the Trump administration.

Speaking the truth is powerful!!

Republicans can’t handle the TRUTH!!

Since we’re into geographical name changes, maybe we just call ourselves the States of America because there is nothing United about us right now. I suggest we bring it back when can figure to actually behave that way. The division and hate being sewn by MAGA & complicit behavior by others is why.

Question: Besides appliance ratings, buildings are able to get EnergyStar ratings too with their use compared to benchmarking data around the country, does this mean Portfolio Manager and that part of EnergyStar will be cut too? If so, great work morons. 🤬🤦‍♂️👎
The EPA plans to eliminate Energy Star, the popular energy efficiency certification for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and other home appliances, according to agency documents and a recording of an internal meeting.
