America Is Divided

This is a message to MAGA-Republicans you keep saying that Democrats want free stuff and that the government can't do anything right so that's why you voted for Trump. It's time for a little education. @matthewcooke.bsky.social

If Democrats do reach a majority in November, how about we hold their feet to the fire to do all they can to fix the divide in our society. They would have to years to actually accomplish something before the 2028 elections come around. They will be judged by all of us.🗽

In Israel, the anti-Netanyahu movement is mobilizing. Lots of Israeli's are unhappy with their extreme-right government and the protests prove it.

Although... He's on his 5th 5-year prediction that the world will be something or other and non of those predictions have actually come to pass. So we'll see...

Capitalism is under attack. Has it reached it enviable end? When something stops working for the many, then it's no longer sustainable. Maybe it's time for a semi-direct democratic federal republic...

Just a reminder, in case anyone forgot.

Winston Churchill famously remarked that “democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” He had a point. If democracy doesn’t work, the fault is ours, yours and mine.

A new approach is needed. The influence of money must end. Lifetime careers in elected office must be limited, and those in power must be willing to compromise with those who are not, because the tables will turn, and gridlock is the bane of democracies.🗽

🗽Robert Reich Republicans are relying on this billionaire’s money to win the midterms — and hoping you don’t notice. Elon Musk has quietly spent $445 million for Republicans so far in this year’s midterm elections. youtu.be/cRuyOKRokUA?...

It’s happening: From Alaska to California, the Trump administration is working to subvert the midterms. This should worry every American. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/... [posted on X]

Elon Musk admits that his company had throttled the Starlink satellite internet service in Ukraine, disrupting operations that the country relies on to defend itself against Russia. It's wrong that one unelected person is allowed to decide what U.S. foreign policy should be.

Trump has already said that there will be a surprise during the current elections. There are already signs that his MAGA minions are planning to disrupt the elections. Trump's done it before and this time he's got a VP that will help him. www.reuters.com/investigates...

This is what all Republicans are going to have to do once Democrats are the majority. They'll have to come to the realization that Trump is the worst thing that has ever happened to the Republican Party. MTG said it first, and she isn't wrong.

Trump has become a danger to the entire world.🗽

Something like this could have happened and would explain why Trump would (more than once) seem to change his mind after a phone call from Putin. Well-worth a deep look into this after November 3rd.

I agree.

When I see Americans sitting in an arena cheering Donald Trump these days it really makes me wonder what they're thinking. He's doing nothing he promised to do other than rounding up migrants. He's tanked the economy and pull us into another war. He's failed America!

Yesterday, two Palestinians were killed by IDF after attacking Israelis near Hebron. Netanyahu ordered the closure of the West Bank. Is anyone surprised that after suffering settler attacks daily, that some Palestinians would fight back, forfeiting their lives in the process?

There’s a reason the EU is developing its own alternative to Starlink: they don’t want to be dependent on a corrupt megalomaniac who could hold them hostage on a whim.

Pitiful excuse for being a traitor, absolutely pitiful.
