Piers Morgan: “50 years ago, before Roe came in, it wasn't a federal law. So why are you so exercised about it?"

I know it’s just symptomatic of a total decline in standards and decency.

But GOP congresspeople are demonstrating way more outrage over where a colleague goes to the bathroom than over a colleague sex trafficking teenagers.

The whole point of 2 Dads Defending Democracy that @walshfreedom.bsky.social & I did was to engage those we disagree with & to try & understand. However, Joe is correct. Trump made it clear he considers people like us, defenders of Democracy, to be enemies. It would be hard to sit with him now.
Dear Joe & Mika,

I get it. I’ll meet with ANYONE of good faith who disagrees with me. But Trump is NOT a man of good faith. He is at war against our democracy & the rule of law. U normalize him by meeting with him. Please don’t.

Best,

Someone Who, Like You, Believes Trump Is A Threat To Democracy

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

BlueSky was a haven for marginalized communities before the exodus from X-Twitter.

The LGBTQIA+, black, sex workers, and furries communities were here early; they found a place where they could be themselves without judgment.

We must remember to honor and ally. Let's hear their voices. ☕💙

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.

Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.

The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.

Don’t give them want they want.

Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

Maga isn’t even saying Gaetz didn’t do what he’s accused of.

They’re just saying Trump has a “mandate.” (He doesn’t).

They do not believe raping children is disqualifying.

(2,3) and unqualified people for the position they have been appointed. They will do nothing to serve America well and certainly cannot help Trump deliver on the promises he made to those who voted for him. In fact, they seem intended to break America, which only serves our foreign adversaries.
