My values are liberalism, democracy, secularism, capitalism, science, and human rights. I stand against fascism, islamofascism, religious bigotry, animal cruelty.
After spending some time here on Blue, I’ve decided to leave and go back to X. The main reason being that Blue is an echo chamber, where X is a place for debate.

You can find me there in case you’re curious.

Oh boy, I love it when @steveliesman.bsky.social and Rick Santelli go at it.

If you're cheering for Elon today, you need to think deeper. He's doing this because he wants you to go back and buy a Tesla again.

Never again for me. Definitely let dog eat dog. I'll be cheering both sides.
it’s a doge eat doge world

I for one don’t fall for Elon’s charades. It’s a show, there is no daylight between him and MAGA. Don’t let him be normalized again.
If you are surprised that Musk is now bashing the GOP budget bill, I suggest you go back and read what I wrote in early February. For Trump, this has always been the plan.

"Musk may believe he is doing all of this to cut the size of the government. But that is not Trump’s plan."

Any help to any terror org, even if done by Democratic presidents, is illiberal. Unfortunately, the Biden administration switched sides in 2021 and gave #Afghanistan on a silver platter to the #Taliban terror org. Read this example of what happened to our allies:

#ProblematicHadiths

This Hadith reiterates that the economy of Madina at the time of Muhammad's rule was in large part based on war booty, often robberies of trade caravans.

So we continue the review of the Hadiths here on Bluesky. The Hadiths are narrations of Prophet Mohammed's life, and with the Quran form the basis of Islamic law. The following #ProblematicHadiths pertains to slavery in Islam.

#Taliban terror org has a large lobby base in DC. Take for example, Cheryl Benard, wife of disgraced Taliban lobbyist Zalmai Khalilzad. She heads several efforts like Unfreeze Afghanistan. An effort to hand over Afg’s frozen assets to terror org. This week she said Afg was a perfect place for women

In case you wondered what my views on Gaza are? I was sickened by the Hamas terror org’s attack on Oct 7th.

However, the fascist gov in Israel once again deployed tried to be on the giving end of the genocide, once perpetrated on them by the Nazis.

Time for Israelis to demand change!

I’m a #Democrat, a JFK Democrat. We have enough MAGA opposition on Bluesky so I won’t preach to the quire. What I will do is warn about what will lose us future elections, and how to gravitate toward classic liberal policies that will win them.
May 17, 2025 at 4:30 PM
It’s time for us #Democrats, to think about 2026/2028 #elections. Will we undermine women/LGBT/minority/working class rights, etc ..by playing identity politics and losing more elections? Or will we choose a pragmatic common sense leader to protect and enhance rights for all?
May 17, 2025 at 4:25 PM
This is a great achievement by Trump. Let's hope this continues.
May 8, 2025 at 3:07 PM
#Taliban continue to terrorize Afghanistan, and the world watches.

Half the country would still think its business as usual
If we found out Putin had purchased billions in $Trump coin, wouldn’t everything make sense?
April 25, 2025 at 11:16 PM
More likely, we lost those elections because we didn’t put up the best candidates, but wanted to make a statement, based on identity politics.

Learn from it, or let fascism take root.
There will come a day when folks realize that the 2016 election was stolen, as was the 2024 election.

That sounds crazy to say now, conspiracy stuff… but just wait. Hell, bookmark this.

Different methods were used for each, but it will come out.

Then we are gonna have ourselves a real mess.

Not sure if any self respecting person still thinks this idiot is playing 3D chess, or some shit like that.
BREAKING: Trump caved, again.

Donald Trump said during a White House news conference that high tariffs on goods from China will “come down substantially,” adding: “I’m not going to say: ‘Oh, I’m going to play hardball with China,’… We’re going to be very nice.”

Don’t let Elon get normalized again.

The biggest tragedy is that we don’t have an opposition party that has any political sense, to oppose the cause of this economic arson.
Economist: We're jumping into recession. We're going into it right now. New home sales probably slow down, investment spending is likely going to drop meaningfully, employment will be the next thing that moderates. It's not a good situation

Does Israel have a fascist gov not deserving of its people? Yes!

Are Islamic fundamentalists like Hamas/Taliban/ISIS/AQ…. A bigger fascist force that threaten more people and cultures? Yes!

Unfortunately, @mehdirhasan.bsky.social doesn’t think Islamofascists are not a threat to liberalism.
Hey, liberal apologists in the West for Israel, your fave government is no longer designating any of Gaza to be 'safe'. Good job shilling for a genocide, hope you sleep well at night!

#Zuck's not doing a good enough job on his knees, I guess.
$META down over 17% in the last seven days.

Down nearly 34% from its all-time high of $736.67 on February 10.

Many of us are counting the days before this clown gets fired as SecOD. However, be ready for the next one to be Crusty himself.
“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”
Former Pentagon official warns department's dysfunction could topple Hegseth
“The last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon,” John Ullyot, the former top Defense Department spokesperson, wrote in a POLITICO Magazine opinion piece.

Interesting how tidbits like this one, or Jevon’s paradox,… go viral among talking heads in the media
STAVRIDIS: “.. It is worth remembering how WW II began in the Pacific: with trade sanctions that cut off Japan from vital resources — notably oil, steel and rubber. .. China is now starting to cut off supplies .. over which it has a virtual global chokehold ..”

Orientalism allowed the West to empower the most brutal thugs, bigots, and tyrants in the East to aid them in their colonial programs, a habit that continues today.

Thus, prevent progress in the East, then label it as backward and irredeemable.

Orientalism!
An example of this is the surrender of Afghanistan to the Taliban terror org by #Trump and #Biden, and the continuing sponsorship of this heinous regime to suppress the 40M population of #Afghanistan.

Without Orientalism in the West, the Taliban wouldn’t be supported by the West, thus not exist.
#Orientalism

A theory that pervades liberal and conservative Western schools of thought, portraying non-Western societies as irreconcilably backward.

Thus, allowing Western support of terror orgs like #Taliban, #ISIS, and #AlQaeda to rule over these societies.
