Everyone deserves to live their life the way they choose, without fear. Human rights must be protected, because without them we have nothing.

This administration is nothing more than a collection of liars and amoral thieves.

Jon Cryer@mrjoncryer.bsky.social

The Mueller Report revealed the Trump campaign had attempted to coordinate with the Russian attack on our election and that Trump had repeatedly obstructed justice. The Senate report confirmed it. Exactly why are Trump and his family deserving of empathy for that?

To all the MAGA folks who think Trump is “playing chess” by insulting US allies, slapping them with sanctions, cutting off all forms of foreign aid because “America First”, right?! Well, what now? This reckless, corrupt regime is now courting global catastrophe. Are we great yet?

Hegseth just shot down a DHS drone with a laser because he thought it belonged to a Mexican cartel, but let’s let him preside over a radical shift to unrestrained AI on our most advanced weapons systems. What could go wrong?

Americans, who fund the government with their taxes, are entitled to good, responsible and ethical governance.

Governor Newsom Press Office@govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov

First he said he was “entitled” to 5 more House seats. Now he says he’s “entitled” to a 3rd term. No one is entitled to power in America. Donald Trump is a threat to our Constitution.

It's pretty clear that the President is hellbent on destroying our economy, our safety, and our standing in the world. It would be great if our elected leaders would do their jobs, which is to check this destruction.

From Day One, Trump’s tariffs were misguided and stupid. Now, the Supreme Court has revealed another key element: they were unconstitutional, too. It’s time to get back to fighting for lower costs for hard working families so we can undo the damage of Trump’s tariff scheme.

Despite the MOUNTAINS of evidence that loyalty only goes one way with that guy, MAGA thinks it won't happen to them.

When Trump finally makes himself the Dictator of America, the first thing he's going to do is take your guns. Dictators don't let anyone have weapons for fear of a revolt. Read about Hitler's "Night of the Long Knives" if you want to see what Trump supporters can expect.

1000%.

When communities feel hunted instead of protected, the badge starts to look less like public service and more like a tool of intimidation. History has seen that pattern before.

Well, depends on what your definition of “fix” is. 👀

If it's illegal not to like this corrupt, cruel, grifting Administration, then I'm an m-f'n outlaw...and so are the majority of Americans.

“It’s illegal not to like me” part ♾️ bsky.app/profile/jake...

It’s truly dystopian that the current Administration clearly wants a confrontation with the American people, whom they were elected to serve.

Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social

I think this would have the opposite effect of what is intended. Instead of supressing the vote you’re going to end up with angry people even more determined to cast a ballot bsky.app/profile/marc...

Wild that MAGA thinks Trump is “draining the swamp” when the swamp is now up over America’s head. “Owning the Libs”?? Wild that MAGA still thinks they’ll be fine under authoritarianism, all while farmers, rural hospitals,small businesses are bankrupt, and we don’t have healthcare. Winning??

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Replying to @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

The refusal to hold anyone accountable for the unjustified shooting death of Renee Good cleared the way for today’s shooting. More will follow unless and until ICE officers are held to account for the unjustified shooting of US citizens.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Why Minneapolis? Because Kamala/Walz actually won the election. Why California? Because Kamala/Walz beat his orange ass. Why Chicago? Obama. Why Maine? The governor defied his unlawful orders. Any questions?

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

The next government shutdown could hit at the end of this month, and if the budget bill includes more funding for ICE — shut it down! ICE is a horror show of abuse, violence, and human rights violations. Every Dem in Congress should be talking about it like @repespaillat.bsky.social 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

This is crucial information.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

This is the heart of it. Any press coverage that gullibly paints this partisan punitive campaign of retribution as "fighting crime" or "enforcing immigration laws" is actively complicit in a government campaign to punish dissent.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

This.

Monika Bauerlein@monikab.bsky.social

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

tdem.bsky.social reposted

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

This post is unavailable.

We can assume that they DO understand that their complicity w/insurance companies in this horrific shakedown of their constituents is causing catastrophic financial harm. They’re really co-conspirators.

InvisibleMomma@invisiblemomma.bsky.social

Shouldn't ever be anyone's problem it's what GOP suggesting for their health care plan. They are idiots.

If, even after this Venezuela thing, the GOP who control the House and Senate STILL do not start doing their job of being a check on this rogueimperial Executive branch, it's pretty safe to say they never will, and sadly, we should fear the end of democracy here in the U.S.

Donna Stern@dvsmemphis.bsky.social

Denmark's PM Mette Frederiksen is clear: if the US attacks a NATO ally, the post-WWII order is over. NATO only works if borders aren't changed by force. Break that rule-and the alliance breaks with it.

How are Pete Hegseth’s continued extrajudicial military strikes on small boats in international waters AT ALL different than the campaign of extrajudicial murders in the Phillipines by former leader Duterte? Duterte’s now imprisoned at The Hague, awaiting trial. There’s no difference.

If the GOP finds a 3 year extension of ACA subsidies offensive, I suggest they actually DO THEIR JOB, and put forth a REAL ALTERNATIVE or ideas for fixes to ACA. Spoiler Alert: “Health Savings Accounts is profoundly unserious and helps keep the Insurance co. Grift going.

...and the GOP always had a choice. Represent your Constituents and do what you can to ensure their ability to thrive, or run interference for Billionaires and a convicted Felon. They made the wrong choice.

If election results across the country were any indication last night, Americans are ready for new, bold, Democratic leadership and an end to Trump’s antics. The energy is there, now we just have to do the work.

If this regime has their way, the day will come when your voting record will determine whether you are eligible for any form of government job, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid SNAP, FEMA...are you angry yet? You should be.
