Transkids, immigrants, etc were never the problem, the ultra wealthy ARE the problem
Please tell me how anyone who claims not to be bigoted and racist can be okay with this? Nothing to do with the price of gas and eggs, just a big F U to peoples already 💩 on by this nation over and over

Just remember, The old establishment Dems (Pelosi, Schumer, BIDEN, etc) enabled what transpired today. Blocking hardliners like Bernie & AOC who actually have the balls to not just call out, but take action, against this tyranny led us to this point. They all need to go. Primary every one of them

Is it just me? Everytime I see someone in the gas station buying a pack of Modelo, it instantly comes off to me as a red flag and someone I want to steer clear of

The vibe on Bluesky has taken a serious dark turn these past few days. I don’t know if a bunch of X loving MAGA’s have created accounts disguised as blue and ally accounts, but I’ve been getting ripped to shreds and had to block numerous accounts whose comments contradict their account descriptions

As a blue dot in a red state, the moral divide has left me alone. I’m a disabled vet driving rideshare to make ends meet. I see all the lights & the people meeting with friends for meals & drinks. I have less than $75 in my bank account. Elon thinks people like me are the problem 😞 it feels hopeless

All of the nonsense being talked about with the polio vaccine right now, is just to get wealthy politicians in mainstream media to try and bait us away from the class war and get us back onto culture wars. Don’t let them do it, stay focused on the class war

Billionaires work very hard to keep the peasants distracted and divided so they never notice how badly they’re being SCREWED and unite against the billionaires.

Talking about rural spaces makes a lot of Democrats uneasy. Uncomfortable.

White rural folks voting for republicans isn’t just racism coming through. It’s misplaced anger and if you saw my community, you might understand. I couldn’t talk about Bidenomics because they aren’t evident here.

Historically, it seems pretty common that the billionaire class instigates a culture war to avoid a class war. But with 14 billionaires and counting in Trump’s administration, it’s going to be difficult to ignore.

Thank you to everyone who follows me, you are very much appreciated

So, I’m thinking Clapper is gonna be my substitute for TikTok. I just downloaded it today but have no experience with it at all. Thoughts?

I wish that some people would realize what’s actually happened in our society… The ultra wealthy have brainwashed people to believe that the problem is trans kids and immigrants. It’s a smoke screen so they can line their pockets while we fight amongst each other & they laugh all the way to the bank

I’m thankful for dogs (cats too. Our animal companions overall). Through the toughest, most mentally exhausting and depressing times in my life, my canine companions have never let me down. They’ve never stabbed me in the back, lied to me, or betrayed me. They’ve comforted me when I needed it most

The feature I love about this app the most? The block feature. I’m not here to get my news, I’m not here to get in heated arguments or debates, I’m not here to get rage baited in the comments by Twitter’s core population (MAGA moron ReTrumplican orange turds). I see them making comments and *block*

For any Star Trek fan who hasn’t watched OTOY’s 765874 - Unification… I highly recommend it. My eyes were heavily watered by the end

Don’t forget to remind yourself; even Bail Organa had to live his public life as a servant of the Empire. The future is not yet written. There is no fate but that we make for ourselves…

I feel like we’ve done a hard reset and have to start from scratch. I know who I’ve always been, but I know my whole life up to this point will never be the same as it was before. Everything I was before seems irrelevant now. I know who I want to be, but I don’t see a path to get to that place
