Thought I would be here for lots of things. Nature. Adventure. Flowers. A few laughs. Community. A bit of politics. Instead, I’m trying to stay informed of the madness and still stay sane. Truth has to win! Never surrender to fascism. #resist

Another big win for the oil and gas industry. More record profits to come - all on the backs of most Americans who struggle to get ahead.

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.

If the MLB and this rogue administration continue this discussion, there needs to be a huge baseball boycott! Everything - games, gear, advertisers, networks,… This madness of stealing and ruining our public lands has got to stop.

“National Park Service Deputy Director Frank Lands visited Grand Teton National Park this week and looked at three potential locations for a baseball park within the park’s boundaries” WTF 🤬 www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

If you are a graduate student in the humanities (construed as broadly as possible), what is the MOST EXCITING book published in the last five years to you? Please repost if you’re not a graduate student!

Who tf writes this idiotic content? Seriously - the US government is run by a bunch of immature, unqualified trolls.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

The government of the United States of America. The idiots are in charge.

Hey Texas - check your voter registration ASAP. Do what you need to do to be able to vote and be counted!

It continues to amaze me that people in red states, often having been run by Republicans for many, many years, can manage to blame Democrats for all their problems. They are convinced that only Republicans can make improvements, even though their track record proves otherwise.

Just imagine if Trump was not an arrogant, narcissistic idiot and had just left the JCPOA intact to begin with. No war. No nukes for Iran. No oil/gas price spikes. So many consequences that WE will live with for generations, at this point. What a stupid mess.

Thank you Forbes, for the proper label of “prominent progressives”.

Is it juvenile to giggle at the fact that we have a “Humptulips Road” here?!

Ossoff: "Illegal tariffs, failed war, healthcare cuts, and unmatched corruption. 34% approval and a presidential legacy cemented in disgrace."

Hey ABC - perhaps we can get behind you once you affirm that you will not bow to Trump any longer. Didn’t you already pay him $15million? Did you think that would be the end of the fascist extortion?

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social

ABC is launching a campaign urging viewers to support the network in its fights against Trump's FCC. The spots ask ABC viewers to support 'The View' and its local stations amid the FCC review of its licenses. tinyurl.com/3w4hnzk5

What he really means is that it will work out well for him in the end. It always has. Somehow, through all of his failings (and there are many) he has failed upward. I will never, ever understand those who support this corrupt narcissist.

The Steady State@thesteadystate.org

This is strongman messaging. It asks people to place faith in only Trump instead of institutions, law, or their own agency. And it tells people to relax during a time when scrutiny, and democratic participation are most necessary.

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

Welcome to healthcare in America. I have a decent Medicare Advantage program. This is the bill for my first osteoporosis treatment. I will need 2 injections/year. Should any meds cost over $10,000 per injection??!! I know insurance is covering most of it, but the cost gets passed along somewhere!

Too bad Spirit has blamed the huge spike in gas prices for their ultimate demise. But of course, Trump and his cronies can never ever take responsibility for anything they cause. They will always take credit for anything good though, especially if they tried to stop it and voted against it.

Sean Duffy on Spirit Airlines: "I think it's important to talk about why we are here today. Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg ... "

I’m so damned exhausted.

“If agencies are choosing to require the questions, contrary to OPM guidance, that’s not our decision.” You shouldn’t have to pledge loyalty to the Trump administration or any political figure to get a federal job.

Hey Georgia! Pay attention and vote!

FU Dana Bash for this nonsense. Good on Raskin for keeping his cool. I would not have been this calm.

Every time I see video or photos that show the Oval Office, I kinda want to cry. So, so ugly and tacky. It is just so Trumpy. Yuck 🤮

Exactly this!

Ricky Davila@therickydavila.bsky.social

The assholes who mocked President Biden by calling him sleepy even though that wasn’t true or sensationalist opportunistic trash like Jake Tapper who falsely attacked his mental ability are really quiet about the deranged sleepy ass felon-tyrant in the bulldozed White House.

Excellent. People are pissed. Now do something about it. Have you registered to vote? Do you have all the documentation you need in order to do so? Start planning now. Anger is good. Action is better.

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes. Not at all 'good.'

Shout out to everyone who is working within 200 feet of the White House - maybe just don’t do illegal shit. How about that?

Trump said that he would: -release the Epstein files -not start new wars -be the president of peace -deport CRIMINAL immigrants -lower costs for Americans -not touch Medicaid or Medicare -be the most transparent President And he didn’t know anything about Project 2025 We told u he was lying.

I long for a time when we have a government that will actually work to FIX things. I want to pay judges to process asylum claims fast and get people documented and on a path to citizenship. I don’t want to pay judges to

hear a million lawsuits because the government is ignoring our laws, constitution and the will of the people. Like most Americans, I just want our immigration system to be fixed. Give working immigrants what they need to stay here legally. Damn!

Lots of organizers will be represented at our Tacoma No Kings rally today. Wright Park. 1-3pm. Many will be set up to chat with people by noon today. Come join us!!
