⬇️ When did helping people become repugnant?⬇️

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚨What the hell is happening! 🚨 Today, the Supreme Court sided with a Christian therapist, rejecting a Colorado law that prohibited mental health professionals from trying to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of L.G.B.T.Q. minors.

As reported by the New York Times. Kaley Chiles, a licensed professional counselor, at her office in Colorado Springs in September. Mrs. Chiles filed suit in 2022 over Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy for minors.

⬇️ Why were we dragged into a war? ⬇️ Why haven't 100% of the Epstein files been released? ⬇️ Why haven't the ICE executioners of Pretti & Good been apprehended? ⬇️

Great questions…

⬇️ Without question, this image (unfortunately, along with many others) will be remembered as a defining snapshot of America in 2025. A shameful moment that captured exactly who we were and what we were facing.⬇️

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

⬇️ ⚠️Warning⚠️ May 15th is not that far away.

Craig Wiesner@craigwiesner.bsky.social

Just got off the phone with industry expert (retail toy/game industry) who said that if Trump doesn't reverse course by May 15th we can just go ahead and cancel Christmas. Without a good holiday season thousands of small businesses will close.

⬇️ Critical thinking — once a basic skill — has been vilified, weaponized, and smeared as 'woke.' In my opinion, that’s the root of the problem for a huge swath of America: they’re suffering from chronic lazy-brain, and they’re proud of it.

⬇️ We need to STOP begging — and start demanding living wages. Enough with poverty-level pay! America needs a starting salary that can comfortably cover the basics: housing, food, transportation, clothing and healthcare. No more excuses. Raise the federal minimum wage — NOW!

⬇️ Shame on you, Marco Antonio Rubio! If your mother had been forced to make that choice to deport with you — without due process — when you were 2 years old, where would you be today??? Your parents didn’t become naturalized until 1975, four years AFTER your birth in 1971.

Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com

Rubio: “Three U.S. citizens ages 4, 7, and 2 were not deported — their mothers, who were illegally in this country, were deported. The children went with their mothers! ... The parents make that choice.” Are you sane?

⬇️ Michael, I dare you to debate Pete 'live' on any aspect of politics. He'll kick your ass! Far-right Michael Knowles told his subscribers that former Sec. of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is in a pretend marriage with a man and doesn’t deserve children if he can’t have them “the old-fashioned way.”

⬇️ Tariffs are destroying your livelihood—how can you still stay optimistic and support the trump regime? You should be shouting your opposition at the top of your lungs. Every moment you stay silent takes you closer to a point of no return.

⬇️ Truth bombs like this ⬇️ need to be reposted.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

⬇️ Sadly, it appears we are losing this battle. The harm, suffering, and collateral deaths continue, unchecked. Despite our efforts, this regime survives, shielded by cowardly politicians and the near-unanimous support of America's most wealthy people and influential corporations.

⬇️ It's outrageous that ICE agents were stalking her mother and sister during their routine immigration check-in at the New Orleans Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. ICE detained them, then deported them without due process.

A 2-year old US Citizen was deported Friday to Honduras. “The judge on Friday scheduled a hearing for May 16, which he said was ‘in the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.’” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
