Silver Lining

The Trump administration is scrapping more than three dozen firearms regulations, abandoning a crackdown on illegal sales, restoring gun rights to some people with mental illness, and loosening oversight of private weapons transactions.

I’ve come to realize when Bill Maher says “is it me that’s changed or is it the party” that the issues are now too big for him to comprehend with critical thought. He hasn’t changed, the party hasn’t changed, the world has changed and it’s too complicated for him. #billmaher

This is why we the people need to band together. billionaires are trying to become kings. All but one donate to republicans apple.news/ALeHzgm3GQue...

Prosecuting the “vandals“ that defaced the reflecting pool yet pardon the vandals that defaced the capital. Make it make sense.

Susan Collins has done far more harm to countless women than Graham Platner’s purported arm twist and a “calm down timeout”.

Think freely and be daring in your creativity!!!

Call me naive but my hope and dream is that we clear out Congress in 2026/2028 with a group that will get together like the founding fathers and stabilize our country. No more gerrymandering, repeal citizens United, term limits for judges and politicians.

Scott Jennings…. 🙄 Conservatives are under attack. Oh please. Tell your orange guy to look in the mirror. His rhetoric is under attack, not the people he is manipulating.

What cracks me up about the Republican Party is that they block all the major Democrat legislation until they are in power and then pass it as if it was their idea in the first place. What Republican EVER agreed to the lefts push for rescheduling marijuana when Dems proposed it.

The only thing currently getting me through this crazy time in the world right now is the uplifting joy I get from watching Love on the Spectrum. The kindness, upbeat nature of all these kids just puts such a smile on my face.

@thedailyshow.com is this Jon Stewart Trump is blessing!! 😂

I feel like based on speech cadence and mouth expression, Bernie Moreno is Stephen Millers brother.

Watching Blackburn & Schmidt speak on trans athletes. Personally I’m in that nuanced participation camp but if conservative women continue to vote against women’s rights in general why do they care so much about women’s rights in sports.

John Fetterman is repositioning himself to run as a Republican because he knows he will lose re-election as a Democrats. He is a prime example of an opportunist.

The is a really important post to read. The Epstein class of Billionaires that want to fund America by cutting services for average Americans while cutting their own taxes and profiting off of that, making money hand over fist while we fight for a living wage. Don’t vote for billionaire candidates.

Do you think the real reason Trump and republicans push the narrative that a college education is useless and men should forego it is simply so the have more young men to draft when they fail to contain the war in Iran?

We don’t need to be calling our congressmen and women to stand up to Trump we need to be calling our business leaders to stand up to this BS.

Where’s my $2000 tariff check Trump?

So according to MAGA Ashley Babbit breaking and climbing through a window on the House floor during an insurrection was killed unnecessarily but this woman was justifiably killed while she sits in her car getting mixed messages from ICE to stay or leave. Youve got to be kidding me.

If the amount of judges employed to get people out of unlawful ICE custody had been employed to handle asylum claims at the border we’d be in a much different place.

You know what I think… these bro MAGA are 🐈’s because they can’t do jack themselves. It’s all group think and honestly women hate that.

Why can’t Americans do it right like South African women. Nationwide economic shutdown is the only think that makes Trump pause.

As South African social media dons a regal purple in solidarity against gender-based violence, women are gearing up for a nationwide economic shutdown on November 21, demanding that the government recognize the crisis as a State of Disaster—because no economy can thrive while women's lives are ...

Local level politics should adjust to that states leanings and political ideals. If NYC votes in a democratic socialist so be it, but just because that wins in NY doesn’t mean it’s right for KY or AL. Nationally a pres needs to govern all and needs to be more centric to hear all voices.

@smerconish.bsky.social looking forward to the mingle project tomorrow night on YouTube. Hoping it will be a blueprint for those of us that want to do these hyper-locally in our communities.

@kenmartin.bsky.social Democrats are falling right into the Trump trap. No military and national guard should not be in cities. Dems need a consistent message!! “Everyone wants a safe city, $1M a day on militarizing our cities - put more money into budgets for more local police in our communities”

I can’t get a covid vaccine but I can get a gun. Make THAT make sense!

Let me get this straight. Tasing a police officer at the capital gets you a pardon but you’re looking for a felony conviction for throwing a SANDWICH at a police officer. Ok MAGA. 🙄

Although I have my gripes about bill maher, I 100% agree with the fact that we should get moderate Democrats out the polls in full for the primaries.

Trump’s just emasculating the national guard and police.

When do you think there will be a lawsuit against a Christian based university for discrimination of non Christian student acceptance.

These aren’t cuts from DOGE these are cuts from the White House.

@rabcarian.bsky.social great opinion piece you wrote in the LA Times today. The conservative right is twisting the true idea of the feminist movement (that women can be and should be able to be whatever they want) to women should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen or they are not true women.

It’s official. Republicans are no longer the party of fiscal responsibility.

Those little little hands at the NATO summit. I don’t know if Trump has SDE or SHE or both. Poor little man.

Can we stop calling if Fox News and call it by its real name Fox Entertainment News.

All you 2A/NRA die hards who wanted your pew pews to protect yourself against the government taking over civilians….well here we are. You should all have serious concerns with this. Your pew pew will not defend you.

Just a reminder. n the 1994 Budapest Memorandum Agreement, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from the U.S., United Kingdom, and Russia that they would honor the sovereignty and borders of Ukraine, a promise Russia broke when it invaded Ukraine’s Crimea in 2014.

So “pushing” an ICE officer is “disgusting” and more arrests coming but Jan 6-ers who assaulted and seriously injured (some critically) are pardoned as if they were just showing some love. The hypocrisy of the MAGA crew is off the charts. (All this aside from the meme-like angry woman spokesperson)

All I can say is that Trump ICE raids are creating such a distrust of the police that it will take years to repair. Just when we were beginning to make progress he rocks the boat to the point of sinking.

Personally wouldn’t want to be represented by any of those law firms that bended the knee to Trump. If they so easily compromised, what makes me think they wouldn’t compromise me instead of fighting for my truth.

I do believe that the masculinity culture of Rogan & Theo Von et al is jumping the shark (mid jump at the moment) I think guys are slowly realizing that they’re smarter than this and women find that mentality very unattractive.

If Trump wants to ban masks at protests for Harvard does that apply to the man children of Patriot Front etc? Don’t they need to unmask as well.

Thinking we will look back and say one of the bravest men was Mike Pence and the biggest coward was Mitch McConnell.

So Harvard just made it easier for lower income families to pay the tuition. JD Vance wants to increase taxes on endowments, which in part enables Harvard to do this. But he’s against raising taxes on the corporations that are making record profits off the backs of those same lower income families.

Why aren’t we up in arms about Citizens United. Today’s environment is just showing the outcome and it’s a dismantling of democracy. Who is ok with corporate billionaires buying elections.

Love this. “There are more measles cases in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the country.” True.

No more were you better off 4 years ago, were you better off 4 MONTHS ago. Hell yes.

I can’t wait for the time maga women political commentators stop the genre of the rapid fire speech outrage (they can barely take a breath) with the hard eyeliner makeup and bandage dresses ends. It’s exhausting and quite honestly perpetuates a bad narrative for smart women.
