The thing I’ve realized as a non USA’r…and have confirmed with many other non USA’rs…and will SHOCK those in the USA…
We actually take a lot of glee in the prospect of the USA crumbling and disappearing. Sorry. It’s true.
We just don’t want to go down with you. #fuckmaga #fucktrump #usa

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

So many people celebrating the Republicans that resign. I would have celebrated more if they actually stayed and fought.
What a joke.

Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Yeah where ya at now @jaketapper.bsky.social ??
So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.
He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Start using your public libraries.
ACTIVELY REQUEST books by marginalized communities so libraries know the demand & can buy them.
Use your NOTIFY ME tags in Libby.
CHECK OUT books (electronic and physical) by marginalized authors. Circulation numbers and holds are critical for us.
