I'm not the follow you're looking for

This isn't the birdhouse
I consign to oblivion follows that aren't mutual follow backs or friends of friends I follow

Seriously, just move along
Pinned
To be honest
Or not to be honest
That is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the law to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous lying,
Or to take arms against a sea of tyranny,
And by opposing end them?

Bottom line, Denmark has attained more self-awareness than the USSR or the U.S.

It maintained capitalism but shifted the collective consciousness & culture away from the competition & elitism of capitalism.

(See Jante Law).

It is miles away from us. And miles away from socialism.

A middle path.

Congresswoman Julia Brownly:
"Jason Crow, Chris DeLuzio, Chrissy Houlahan, and Mark Kelly have worn the uniform. Maggie Goodlander and Elissa Slotkin have served in critical national security roles. Every one of them is a true American patriot.

If you only fight the battles you think you can win you will never win the battles you should have fought.

Epstein Petition passes 427-1 in the house.

One lone Republican voted against releasing them.

These files must be so horrendous & unconscionable that even shameless Republicans are trying to distance themselves from the scandal.

Senate passed it with unanimous consent as well.

Blow the lid open!

@moderation.bsky.app why is this account @resistrebelrevolt.net labeled as spam?
It is not spam so are you becoming X and discouraging free speech?

Does anyone else wonder if the guy talking about illegal aliens bringing cows into the United States is actually referring to aliens landing in Roswell NM?

"The goal is to create confusion, exhaustion and resignation — to normalize political retribution as a natural part of our government."

None of this would be happening if we had MORE Democrats to begin with.

The solution to our problem is not FEWER Democrats.

It's giving them a 60-vote threshold & a blue president so that they can pass critical legislation that rights this doomed ship.

That's our ONLY way out of this mess. 🧵

ACA was a hook, they didn't back progressive candidates bc if the progressive loses no penalty for them, if won they get unearned credit and then back to business as usual making corporate backers happy. It's the current Democrat leadership brand, we're on our own if we want progressive action.

When the American civil war began with violence on April 12, 1861, after decades of escalation over slavery (human rights), most people thought it would be over after the first major battle. In other words after a couple of months.

I don't understand why some people think there's a disconnect between protesting the destruction of Confederate statues and not protesting the destruction of the White House when they have the same goal, the restoration of the Confederacy, and the defeat of the Union.
