Globally, Locally Jim
@thoughtfulpolitics.bsky.social
Interested in building community, investing in proving the world, approaching politics in mature, informed, compassionate way, emphasizing useful info, ideas, and constructive action rather than outrage and alarmism, though satirical laughter works for me.
I think “Denial Don” or “Disinformation Don” might be more apt.

Not sure what city you are referring to, but in Manhattan and Brooklyn, there are plenty of stories of the city having no current effective mechanism to enforce a landlord‘s responsibility to deal with rats in the building. Fixing that issue has to be part of the solution, along with sanitation.

Interesting list, very heavy emphasis on anarchist groups, had to scroll a while to find the other categories you mentioned, but ultimately a nice variety of individuals and groups.

Seems optimistic to say we have less to fear when some trends are still lurching toward tyranny, but in any case we should focus on the work of resisting and building something better.

To be clear, so far Trump is mainly suppressing protests involving blue cities and/or brown people, so some of you can play “no one left to speak for me” roulette.

He does raise one eyebrow really well, so that should really put fear in the hearts of potential terrorists, so there is your terrorism prevention.

I wouldn’t be surprised if his boot-licking skills are also top-notch.

Classic Republican, only caring about something when it affects someone they know personally… I used to think of this as Nancy Reagan syndrome

Block the allocation of money authorized by Congress, dismantle programs created by law, and then go back and get Congress to rubberstamp your actions, that’s the way it’s supposed to work, right?

At least before the Magna Carta or something #NoKings

Lost? All the Ohio Republicans have to do is face a typical weak Democratic candidate, have their candidate trigger people’s fears of transgender athletes and immigrants eating pets, and they’ll win. There is some common sense in Ohio, but it’s trumped by loyalty to the Republican Church.

But of course it takes effect just after the next president comes into office.

Some things appear
that can be described but not explained
Like why are they in that particular place? And why won’t they go away?

Best examples:

1) A wart.

2) Clarence Thomas.

But now (well after 2 years of stripping it down to the she’ll and retrofitting) Donnie will have the longest thickest flying schlong of any world leader, hoping Putin will admire it

Sure it’s corruption, but at least there are no security concerns like hidden microphones or wireless signal relayers or other hidden stuff, no one would do that
