I haven’t been able to shop at Home Depot or Target since the whole DEI thing. I stopped being able to shop at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and Chik-fil-A years ago and still can’t go there. It’s not a boycott for me. Just a feeling of aversion I can’t ignore. I’m afraid HD has a permanent loss with me.

No only is Trump in Putin’s pocket, he’s not even trying to get the US anything with his unholy deal. I think it’s just literally Trump having a boy crush on Putin.

America is so weird. Seriously. Try to see this photo through the eyes of someone from just about any other country. We’re deranged.

You get it! Not only is Trump a psychopath loyal only to himself, he’s not a particularly smart one. Several people mentioned that he just channels the last person he was in the room with before a conference. So whatever Mamdani said before that conference, those were Trump’s ideas.

Democrats, for all their faults, are doing their best to build a better America for all Americans. Republicans are doing their best to weaken Americans so the billionaires can take even more advantage from us. It’s not about who is making fewer mistakes, it’s about the end goals.

My parents were certainly around in the 70s and those are exactly the people we need to wake up and realize Trump will never be the savior FOX News promised he would be.

When DOGE got away with shutting down USAID irreversible damage was done. This is the same issue - we have to stop this plan and time is of the essence. Otherwise American Education will regress by decades.

Can you give a source for this? I’d like to understand it better.

…way with it. Look how great our health care because when insurance companies were allowed to profit. De we want that to happen to our public schools too?

As a teacher, I am furious too, but also exhausted and demoralized. Public education is a billion dollar industry and the billionaire class is pissed off they aren’t getting a piece of it. For the past 2 decades, at least, they have been trying to weaken education to the point they can have their…

We need those republicans to remember who they are.

You make an excellent point.

Keeping track of what it real is so important these days. When Karoline Leavitt says reminding people of the law is akin to insurrection and calling someone “piggy” is a sign of respect, simply remembering what is real is harder than it looks. Yet it is necessary to hold our country together.

This is exactly why. We have already had immoral individuals. But millions of Americans willing to let that immorality go unanswered? Never before.

It will happen when enough republicans break ranks and insist that he go. Democrats by ourselves are not powerful enough. But we must keep fighting every day so that when a large enough group of Republicans come to their senses, together we will be enough.

And pollution. A lot of that trickles down.

Thank you for your courage, Senator. We need more leaders like you! How refreshing it is to hear that an oath still matters to someone.

The more aggressive 47 becomes the more this kind of message will resonate will servicemembers who already feel caught in the politics. The only people that have a problem not obeying unlawful orders are the ones giving unlawful orders. Along with my fellow veterans, I approve this message.

Thank you, @hcrichardson.bsky.social I look forward to your post every morning! You are truly doing a great service. Today I went through the bsky references and made sure I was following each one.
