The tide is turning

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

Finally, a press with spine

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

Ohio’s biggest newspaper broke its own rules to endorse Amy Acton, calling Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad disqualifying. “Using childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it crosses a line Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.” thedailybeast.com/trumps-maga-...

All in the Family

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

Jared’s father, Charles Kushner, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, videotaped it, and mailed the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him Ambassador to France and Monaco. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...

Yeah, Elon. What is it? Please spill what’s wrong with him. Cuz he’s not a lapdog like your other “friends”?

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

Poor Elon Stoned again and posting sh*t online

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

You know, Elon, if you just paid your taxes, we could give those kids food and healthcare, things far more valuable than stock in a government-welfare-dependent company that is bound to go bankrupt eventually.

Love this Where’s Ken Paxton? I heard he owns a gay bar in Texas and has Ben up to his chaps in problems? But it’s just hearsay so whatever you do, DON’T SPREAD THIS RUMOUR

Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social

James Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. That's why I haven't heard from him after 85 days when I first challenged him to a debate publicly. We're awaiting his answer.

Just read about this: Yandex, the Russian Google, lost 3 of their 5 data centers to Ukraine’s bombs and are going to have a very difficult time rebuilding that infrastructure, negatively affecting search engines, web and delivery services, ride-hailing etc Go Ukraine!

Public executions are disgusting and the sign of a corrosive administration

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

I note how Christian Nationalists, who think the public execution of Jesus was the most horrific thing humans ever did, are giddy at the prospect of getting to watch a public execution on live streaming—being so “pro-life” and all . . .

We expect more for sure but know he will not deliver, as he is a madman

Nancy Pelosi @pelosi.house.gov

The words of an American President weigh a ton and he must not be frivolous with that weight. Donald Trump has gone beyond the pale saying Iran can “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego. How could he say the slaughter of Americans is a "small price to pay"? America expects more of their President.

@therealdavidp.bsky.social

TOTALLY

Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.social

What a sad state of affairs when a president can joke about letting Iran “take out” Los Angeles or San Diego and it barely makes news. Can you imagine the outrage if any other president said that? America – we can do better than this.

@therealdavidp.bsky.social

As a resident of LA, it’s very clear what the President meant: he thinks we and San Diego (a huge military town btw) are sh*thole cities that are expendable. He’s a freakin maniac not fit to protect this country

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1
