Diego Luna, the cast and crew are amazing and deserve tons of awards and recognition #Andor is a pitch perfect show, shockingly timely and thought provoking The writers and Tony Gilroy deserve massive credit for making a massive show, that’s also the best indictment of fascism and authoritarianism

Diego Luna is delivering masterclass performance after masterclass performance in ANDOR this season. Give this man an Emmy now.

the US and the free world are absolutely worth fighting for, don’t let anyone tell you they’re not worth they want you to lay down, exhausted, peaceable, broken and just let it all slip away, every hard fought right and liberty, millions before you died to wrangle for all of us

you can’t have an effective system where one administration swings so drastically, it does more EOs in their first day in power, than the previous one did in 100 days It’s unsustainable, democracies need working legislative branches rule by decree is by definition illiberal and anti-democratic

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

Inequality Media@inequalitymedia.bsky.social

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

Ever notice Trump's fans are louder but fewer? That's what happens when reality finally breaks through. Bad economy has a way of opening eyes—some people wake up, while others just yell twice as loud to drown out the truth

A man who says he never loses suddenly stops holding rallies. Either he feels crowds turning on him, or he's afraid they'll see he's slipping. Turns out the emperor's new clothes look pretty sad under stadium lights

The biggest clue it's all a scam? No more rallies. First-term Trump couldn't get enough of your cheers. Now he's got your votes and the 'poorly educated' he once 'loved' aren't needed He got what he wanted, now you getting ghosted

When your leader speaks in contradictions, you're not following policy—you're interpreting tea leaves. Trump's incoherence is the feature that lets every follower hear their own personal gospel. Can't argue with divine revelation

MAGA isn't politics—it's theology. The holiest followers are those who can explain why Trump meant exactly what you need him to mean today. Sacred texts shouldn't require this many interpreters

big money has no place in democratic elections elections should be fully publicly funded or a mix of public and small dollar donors only

Common Sense@cmmnsensedspnsr.bsky.social

This is the king of crap that makes the public despise politicians. I swear, Citizens United absolutely ruined this country and its government.

Donald Trump abandoned Ukraine and alienated our European allies in less than two months.  This is why elections are so important–we cannot let him have this unfettered power for four four years.  Spread the word–hold Republicans accountable.

If billionaires drove prosperity we should expect to see a correlation between the explosion of billionaire wealth and wage growth… …but we don’t We see the opposite This is wealth extraction, not wealth creation.

a hybrid war is still a war, the free world has to wake up to this truth we are at war autocracies are our enemies, and work together to destroy our rights and liberties they (russia, china, iran, dprk…) hate our freedoms

the lights are going out all over, unless we act now, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetimes paraphrasing sir edward grey, please wake up! or we’ll end up sleepwalking into a global tragedy

If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?

Vaccination eliminated measles from the U.S. 25 years ago. But it can still spread in pockets where vaccination rates are low, like the west Texas county with a current outbreak. Here's how fast.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

they are full on accelerationists, there’s a reason they are breaking everything they can get their hands on, and leaving it as irreparably destroyed as they can

While disaster unfolded in the Oval, DOGE gutted the Social Security Administration. As the designated payee for my mom when she was alive, I know they were already SEVERELY understaffed. BUT they always got it done! Once this level of institutional knowledge is gone... SS is dead. That's the plan.
