It is amazing how anyone of any intelligence treats Democratic Socialism as Socialism/Communism. DS is a counterweight movement to Conservative shifts. Don’t fear it, go with it. Democrats yelling otherwise are just protecting their jobs. This is coming from an old retired white dude.

Dems must stop making unforced errors. It may unfair but the bar has been set higher. For those in power: stop making procedural errors. Relinquish power to next Gen. The rest of us: engage the young and expand the electorate.

With the Feds taking over the investigation in Minnesota you have to wonder if they are protecting the Officer or the person who said to the officer, “…next time just shoot them…”

PLEASE research the history of Venezuela and Trump’s claim of “stolen assets”. ChatGPT is a very good place to start. Short version: the beef is between a private company (ConocoPhillips) and Ven.

The GOP could have provisioned funding for the government in the BBB which went through Reconciliation, thus avoiding any Democratic votes needed. They did not, which I can only assume was out of intent. Someone doesn’t get paid, you seek out your GOP Congressperson or Senator.

Texas Democrats cannot return and give Quorum. Seems to me that perhaps they can rotate small groups of Democrats in an out to provide presence yet prevent Quorum.

If you fish If you hunt If you farm If you garden if you forage If you hike If you boat If you camp Individuals are second class to corporations. Let that sink in. You gave them your sweat-equity, now you have to give them our natural resources.

In the very last moment of Trump’s life, I hope Melania rushes to his bedside and as he draws his last breath, she leans in and softly whispers, “Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize”.

The Supreme Court is off their rockers. You now will have to work hard to prove to me that the Federalist Society isn’t a subversive domestic terrorist organization.

<yelling> A “tax cut” is not a “tax cut” if the deficit increases. It is a “tax deferral (likely with a tax increase buried within)”. It is like having the government max out your credit cards and then convincing you are richer. Please wake up and think!!!!

Everyone should look at Trump and imagine him as your neighbor. Imagine his cheating, his looking down on people, his ego, his depraved morals. Even if you won’t admit that your stomach is clenching, you know what this man is. He cannot be trusted.

Any person with an innate sense of respect for our Military and those who previously served for our Country wouldn’t even conceive, let alone suggest, renaming Veterans’ Day.

Perspective time: A white woman drives through a building hosting an after-school program killing 4 and injuring more. She is not in custody; they are investigating. Be honest, you know if this individual was Black, Hispanic, a green card holder, etc. the rules would be different.

For the life of me I can’t grasp why anyone has a problem with due process. If any one of us was wrongly, or rightly, accused of something, we’d expect and prepare for our day in Court. If due process can be ignored for one, it can be ignored for any.

Bondi is out of control. So she wants everyone to believe that going after judges because of the possibility they allegedly helped a migrant is the biggest issue for the FBI and DOJ? Really? Not financial corruption? Not defying Court orders? Not pervasive violation of the Emolument Clause? Etc….

He refuses to have an in-person town hall, only advertises his tele town hall on X, then on the call he announces that although it is your right to participate and contact his office he has NO intention on changing his positions. We need better in the NY-23. Congressman Nick Langworthy must go.

Please share. We need the Teamsters to step up for Justice and Solidarity. You can get Trump to change his behavior. You can get Garcia back to the US. You can mend the relationship with our neighbors. Tractor-trailers slow-rolling every Interstate. You have power! @teamsters.bsky.social

teamsters.bsky.socialTeamsters (@teamsters.bsky.social)The International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents 1.2 million hardworking men and women throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

No different then after the Civil War, if the US survives the attack of the oligarchs and the profoundly uninformed; the Constitution will require amending. We now know where the deficiencies lie.

The Supremes at least carved out a minimum of due process in their ruling but the outlook is bleak: purges in the military, an impotent Congress, crazies advising a narcissistic President, a chaotic stock Market, and now a crumbling Judiciary.

These law firms signing agreements with Trump should be boycotted. Hopefully smaller respectable firms wanting to break into the top tier will publicly make their move and fill the ethical void. The man corrupts everything and everyone he comes in contact with. #law @gtconway.bsky.social

My retirement just lost a year’s worth of growth and this is what my <expletive> Congressmen Nick Langworthy posted. (It is however physically impressive that he was able to post anything at all given how far his head is lodged up Trump’s butt.)

Do you really trust Trump and the super-rich to magically fix the inefficiencies that shipped jobs out of this country? They will allow companies to pollute and give excessive executive compensation at the expense of line workers to paper over it. The UAW/other Unions are fools to trust his crap.

Universities play a unique role in edgy debate and that is important. Within that context, individuals should feel physically and psychologically safe BUT mentally, emotionally, and socially challenged. It is not the government’s role to tilt the scales of the debate or to create artificial limits.

GOP enablers should not expect any marks for preservation or restoration of WHAT PREVIOUSLY EXISTED: “Look at me! I threw you a bone you already had!!!” 🤦🏻‍♂️😡

The math I want everyone to be cognizant of is thatthe hardcore Maga base is currently an unwavering 34% of the current voters. This is continually proven in polls. This means Maga only needs 25% of all remaining votes in a district. We cannot fight those numbers in ANY fractured way.

Raising the awareness and energy to fight the wrongs of this administration is great, however let’s not forget that this has to translate to VOTES. Many young people are what I call, “political introverts”. They don’t follow multiple news sources daily; many don’t vote. We need to reach them!

@thestar.com I remember though my Country has forgotten. I remember 9/11 when Halifax opened themselves to strangers when we were attacked. I remember that our soldiers have stood shoulder to shoulder in War and in Peace. I remember the Canadian embassy getting our diplomats home from Iran.

Our Country’s survival is up the House and Senate. The Judiciary cannot enforce its rulings with this President and Attorney General. That simply leaves the House and Senate. Judge holds an appointed position in Contempt. House initiates Impeachment and the Senate has to remove. One should do it

Warning to all. Trump follows a pattern. He comes out of the gate with batshit-crazy. His numbers drops. The he does a FEW minimally “normal” things and his supporters start saying, “see, he’s not so bad”. It is like the lazy salesman who’s never around. He brings in one acct and gets kudos.
