Raising the appropiate signals for the weekend
Now that we have some Republicans passed off at trump, how do we build a movement to remove his puppet speaker mike Johnson? With him in place nothing is gonna happen on the house. Did the Republicans themselves make it much easier to call for a vote to vacate last year right?

We have the courts, elections and free press protecting demoracy......elections are under attack next
The average "normie" believed Trump when he said Project 2025 wasn't his plan. Now that he's enacting it, we need to keep pointing it out. There are new examples everyday. It's impossible not to see now that it's actually happening.
The Trump admin is enacting the Project 2025 plan to degrade the integrity of elections.
We will no longer be able to trust CISA and other agencies that protect our election infrastructure and defend it against outside interference.

This is a fun read. Fear is the vote killer
"even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making"
"Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination"

With the president smashing norm after norm, even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making.

I listened to Vance's speech in Europe. He really really wants the EU to listen to its voters, all of them. Ok, what about the half of his own country telling him their opinion about breaking our own laws? Crickets......

This is a request for a good guide to how to use bluesky. I have been trying to convince people to leave the meta hellscape and build local community here, but they always say they heard it was like Twitter or never learned how to do Twitter. I am kind of including myself too in not knowing.

At this point there are two things that cannot go away.
Fair elections (even as flawed as the US system is).
A free press. Read this substack by Dan Rather. Corporate media is beholden to the trump regime. open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

Watching the start up of trump 2.0 is a bummer. What if we got rid of the 2 party system? The NYT has a very worthy article that explores how easy it would be to shift to a multi party system, even though it's seems unlikely
