@repricklarsen.bsky.social What is your red line for fighting back against this administration? What if Idaho, emboldened by an invasion of Greenland, decides to take over Eastern Washington? When do you stop making tiktoks and start resisting?

If Trump wasn't wrecking the economy with his stupid tariffs, farmers wouldn't need a bailout in the first place.
Oh and what's the GOP plan for all the farmers who get health care through the ACA whose premiums are skyrocketing?
Right, there is NO PLAN.

Farmers say Trump's payment isn't enough amid rising health care costs
President Trump announced $12 billion in one-time payments to farmers as they adjust to increased tariffs on exports. Some farmers say even with that help they still face rising health care costs.

Tell me again why we are planning to attack Venezuela? Did they attack us recently and somehow I missed it? Surely, we are not the aggressor here?

Fox News is calling for the murder of Americans. The time has come for action. Not violent action, but impactful action. Are there any Democratic political leaders brave enough to lead a boycott of all advertisers on Fox News until Brian Kilmeade is fired? How about @barackobama.bsky.social?

But even Trump is not so dumb as to deport millions of workers that his MAGAit followers depend on. Imagine the impact to food prices, restaurants, construction, hotels, and most critical of all - elder care and child care.

It is interesting to me that ICE seems unable to find the undocumented workers at meat processing plants, egg farms, fruit & vegetable farms, construction sites, elder & day care centers, hotels & motels. It's as if ICE doesn't want to deport anyone keeping wages low and inflation in check. Hmmm.
