You've probably seen this before. Think of it as a gentle reminder, bozo is only the figurehead of the problem. The problem is money as power, power which they don't want to share. In fact, they want more, they want it all.
youtube.com/shorts/mJ1JF... CBS finally did some decent reporting in this story although they didnโt follow up with Trumpโs administration involvement like the big beautiful Bill. Theyโre still gun shy because of leadership at CBS.
If only the people who should see this would, but they won't. Even if they saw it, they wouldn't believe it. They are lost to us forever.
I would like to extend my congratulations to all the winners of this most prestigious award. You earned it! ๐ #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
There is handwriting on the wall. USS Abraham Lincoln and turning our backs on the future of warfare. Are we listening?
APPLEBAUM: Instead of integrating drones, Hegseth is canceling drone battalion and talking about push-ups and facial hair. Itโs really insane. I mean, if someone were paying him to undermine United States, or if he were a secret enemy, this is how he would behave. It's suicidal.
Some perspective. We've got a lot of growing up to do. Bozo is not unique, just dumber. When we come out on the other side we owe the world several apologies. We should join the International Criminal Court and give up our permanent seat on the Security Council along with the veto.

What a helluva sign. The writing on the wall?
Daily Beast: A sprawling roadside Trump Superstore near Knoxville, TN is closing down. When an employee named Dan was asked if foot traffic was steady, he replied, โWeโre not busy anymore.โ What a fantastic mood booster! ๐ #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
Come America 2.0, I can't guarantee all issues will be addressed, but they should be. There will be no wealth advantage. Public financing. No donations. No advertising. Nomination will be by IQ and USCIS tests, PBS and NPR interviews and RCV. Open to anyone with ideas and plans. No parties.
Yes, and they will continue to think and act this way until they learn how to be Americans. If we expect to become the America we should be with Liberty and Justice for All, they cannot be a part of our political system. Dissolve the repug party. Disenfranchise repugs. Arrest and try the leaders.
. 77 million Americans knew what they were doing . . . ... and that's exactly what they wanted. ๐ them all ! ๐ ๐ ๐
Yes and no. The battle is between fascism and Americanism (liberty and justice for all). The fascists at the top are prodding and goading those at the bottom to fight others at the bottom, but they would anyway. Money just gives them a louder voice. The enemy is fascism, rural reactionaries.
We can question the numbers, but not the methods. We need mail-in ballots, regional processing centers, and human and electronic oversight. We should be able to determine districts strictly on the basis of population. Use zip codes and or census tracts. Start at the most populous and go from there.
If ever there was food for thought. Not sure this is true in Utah, but it would be true in Texas. Here, it is lead a horse to water. Couldn't be easier to register or vote (so far). You can't make them drink. So, what do you do?

A top US general doesnโt โwalk outโ over nothing. If reports are even partly true, this is what breakdown looks like: - Pressure for escalation, military resistance, nuclear rhetoric entering the room. Thatโs not strength. Thatโs instability at the highest level. youtube.com/watch?v=p3Dy...
We're getting some fighters. He's not a favorite, but he could become one. Worth your time.
Governor Newsom talks about his humble upbringing, people badmouthing the state, progress with the homeless crisis, over-regulation in the state, rebuilding after the fires, ICE in our streets, phone calls from Trump, & Gov Gav (Josh Meyers) stops by to give a very special award to the real Gov Gav!

I don't know how this will happen, but it must. The corruptive power of wealth must be broken. A progressive tax code would help, but RICO would shine the blinding light of truth on the fascist quest to extinguish the light of our democracy. Thiel, musk, and others must pay. They have hurt too many.
