We are in a war. The burger king has declared Democrats the enemy. We need to fight back. Articles of impeachment for him and every cabinet member who is acting unlawfully. No we won’t be able to convict, but it’s past time to ratchet up the pressure. Hit the streets- every day.

I’m actually getting sick when I read about dt and his thugs. They are blatantly violating the Court’s order in the Garcia case. I understand the judge is proceeding cautiously, but the Administration’s actions demand a contempt citation. Soon!

Great read. Thoughts on how to navigate through the turbulence of 2025.

This is more than a shift in foreign policy; it’s a divorce so comprehensive that it makes Brexit look modest by comparison.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Serious question:

Is there any way we can reach those who elected Trump? Bluesky is all well and good, but it’s preaching to the choir. An idiot in charge of Defense, abducting people off the streets, blowing up vital parts of the US govt. Do we have to crumble before they realize this disaster.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,400 of the agency’s 1,700 employees; medical debt and student loans will now be deprioritized. 🤬

Also, look into Credit Unions. You are a member, not a customer. They will be far more fair than any corporate bank. I love mine!
This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Judge Xinis to DOJ lawyer:

“Cancel vacation. Cancel other appointments. I’m usually pretty good about this in my courtroom, but not this time.”

She also agreed to allow the plaintiffs to depose up to 6 administration officials.

Good first step, but need accountability.

Make no mistake about what’s going on in America. 47 has declared war on universities, the press, liberals, immigrants (including those here legally), dissenters, the poor, women and many others.
We are at war with our own government, a government whose goal is to subjugate us, to cower us. RESIST.
