Property taxes paid for the roads I drove to work on, the schools my kids went to and helped build the equity in my house that I am so attached to . I’ve got mine so why should I pay property taxes for my grandchildren or the world they gave to grow up in . Is so Trump.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Just one note: 2024?

Sam@samd.bsky.social

the world was a better place back when these apolitical dipshits just kinda sat politics out instead of in 2024 when they all voted for Trump entirely based on vibes and then googled what tariffs are the day after the election

The thing I find the most frustrating is that Trump supporters cannot even articulate what they dislike about the richest nation in the world, with one of the highest standards of living. Or what conservatism has done to create that.

And we are no longer talking about the 5 richest men in the world controlling the media and the Epstein Files

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined. Over half goes to private defense contractors. This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

As an Historian, Kevin is less than first rate,but more than third rate, however as a political commentator, he is spot on here.

Hillary Clinton has more than her share of flaws, but when it comes to "showing congressional Republicans the proper level of contempt" she is flawless.

I mean how on earth could a man with approximately half a trillion dollars and contributing absolutely nothing to the human experience possibly survive Donald J Trump. Oh I know put a roller coaster for rich people in space

The lesson of the past two weeks, whether you’re the EU, South Korea or any other trading nation: you may THINK you have a “deal” with Donald Trump. You don’t. 🤡 @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/9982...

ICE provides no value to me or you in Minnesota. There are 40 times more unauthorized immigrants in Florida and Texas. Why are they there ?

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

They want warrantless searches and voter roles ? With midterms around the corner . Seems like it’s not really about the less than 100,000 undocumented folks in Minnesota doesn’t it?

Watch the pattern: A killing. A narrative. A label that turns a citizen into an enemy. And suddenly, accountability becomes “propaganda,” and dissent becomes “extremism.” This is how democratic norms erode — one word at a time.

David Simon @audacityofdespair.bsky.social makes me miss newspapers even more than I already do. 20 words or less and I have a full grasp of geopolitical affairs. “ Trump is draft-dodging, slandering swine and will be a permanent stain on the honor of the United States. “

Explicitly, the U.K.'s per capita loss of troops was quite commensurate with that of the United States, just slightly less. Denmark on the other hand had a per capita rate that exceeded both. Trump is draft-dodging, slandering swine and will be a permanent stain on the honor of the United States.

This killing is overtly a state-sponsored murder. The video is astonishing in its ugly simplicity. That the Iranian mullahs aren't broadcasting it to the world in direct reply to Trump's fatuous claims about defending nonviolent protestors on the streets of Tehran is simply bad public relations.

The misrule of my country is now so hideous and profound that I am running out of things for which I am as an American rightly proud: Baseball, barbecue, Broadway musicals, African-American music, peanut butter cups & a walk on the streets of any diverse, pluralistic metropolis. Wish I was joking.

The entire Democratic Caucus on the Hill should stand up and say the same thing. Every Democratic Governor, State Senator, State Representative and Mayor should say the same thing. DO NOT OBEY UNLAWFUL ORDERS.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Elon Musk gave a 1/4 of a billion dollars and elected Trump using lies, propaganda, hate and your ignorance. Then he walked into government agencies.Took all your data and fired enough people that regulate his businesses that he can do whatever he wants with impunity now. This is your America !

If this is True: Five more prominent law firms caved to Trump - Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, A&O Shearman and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett ,Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft Then which are they the fools or the muzzled intelligent ?

Where’s the uh, where’s the Kennedy files UFO proof Epstein files proof of chemtrails Lower grocery prices I was promised this And why wasn’t that tin horn El Salvadoran dictator wearing a Trump Chinese tie in the Oval Office ?

Wow El Salvador won’t return someone he asked them to return. Putin won’t end its war. Canada is peeling on his leg. The EU is ignoring him and China is laughing. I just can’t handle all the winning

Threatening murder and mayhem ala’Donald J Trump style. If this is how how we think Democrats win elections. Maybe that explains how we got here. Anonymous puppets pretending to espouse Stoic Philosophy. I can’t help think these people really are working for Trump.
