To rephrase DJT, Florida is a shi*hole state.
Florida to end vaccine mandates for children as state’s surgeon general likens them to ‘slavery'... Seriously, does Mr Ladapo have any sense of the history of the enslaved Americans to which he refers?
Lmao. So funny. Grade F=You're Fired!!!! #USDemocracy
This is exactly what LA did and it stopped immediately there #USDemocracy
Summing up recent events: Yes, the US is severely strange! The trump/GOP cabal is constantly marketing fraud and stupidity as GOP brilliance! #usdemocracy www.youtube.com/shorts/HU_ZA...
More fundamentally, we cannot trust the CDC because of Trump. Even more fundamentally, we cannot trust the CDC because of the GOP. #usdemocracy
And I share it!
Keep fighting the fight!!!!!
NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trump’s deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.
Thank you for refusing to back down, @qasimrashid.com !!!!
#USDemocracy NEW: Veterans have been BLASTING a speech from General Milley for over TEN HOURS to the National Guard: “We don’t take an oath to a king, queen, tyrant, or wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution – America – and we’re willing to die to protect it.” 🇺🇸💪
He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.

I am not Catholic, but I respect that priest for staying with what was right
Noem shows how little she knows every time she opens her mouth
Cell towers in disguise…
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
I posit that that BlueSky readers are more educated than Twitter readers. By miles and miles.. You know we are!!!

If you care about our schools and teachers, I'd love for you to join me for this event! Randi Weingarten has literally written the book on why fascists fear teachers — they're afraid of curiosity and knowledge — so this is sure to be a great discussion! social.redwine.blue/s/ByjpYFos
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
TRUMP IS AMERICA’S BIGGEST LOSER.
beyond disgusting!
The truth be told
"This hope is our door, our portal. Even if we never get back to normal, Someday we can venture beyond it, So let us not return to what was normal, But reach toward what is next." -Amanda Gorman
fool.
And yet he wants to reinstate Robert E Lee's statue at West Point.
Lock them up and throw away the key. My heart breaks for the girl...
Note this:
NEW: The Texas Republican lawmaker who blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander suggested “shoot, shovel and shut up” as a way to deal with immigrants — a comment that could boost legal efforts to block the state’s map.

Disgraceful. But I thought Trump didn't like 'losers'...

Four million dollars. They’re cutting a program to test treatments for children with brain cancer to save four million dollars a year.
Neil Young is still rocking it!
We all know how well thoughts and prayers work.... apparently VP Vance is just about show...like the hypocrites Jesus criticized who pray in pubic.

This government is despicable.
Fascism ended in annihilation and surrender in WW2, but please go on.
Protestors disrupted a career fair for the Department of Homeland Security who were recruiting for ICE in Chicago earlier this month. The disruption rattled security. No arrests were made. People are objecting to the illegal kidnappings and deportations.
Despicable. Reprehensible. Utterly disgusting.
I would like to think, hope, and pray that his strongarm tactics will backfire on the MAGA party. But not holding my breath.
Don't these idiots remember how many people DIED in the initial months of the Covid epidemic? So now they want to IMPOSE their misguided opinions on the whole country! There goes yet another freedom down the drain. FU Kennedy FU Trump
Trump the dictator is making himself judge, jury and executioner.
We asked our Democratic Party leaders to stand up to Trump's brutal campaign of repression against our cities. Here it is. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is clear and forceful in his rejection of the misuse of our military. Stand up for these leaders are they're standing up for us. #WeveHadEnough
If only each individual ICE goon would realize what they are doing to themselves and their country. But they don't care. Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it.
First they took the disabled That began the destruction of Germany around 90 years ago Pay attention America He wants to do that to us! Stand up to him before it's your children, friends etc.
Never leave children alone with fundamentalist preachers, either. What a bunch of pedophiles.
Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank
But there are two sides Democracy-and fascism And the evidence is undeniable Donald Trump and the Republicans are pushing for fascism Military takeover of cities Violating Constitutional rights Dismantling federal agencies Every time the press fails to point it out-they’re helping the fascists
You won’t hear a more alarming or compelling review of the danger the US is in than this from @maddow.msnbc.com. Reporters need to stop writing what Trump says and report on what he’s doing. What he’s doing is pushing us toward ruin & dictatorship. #WeveHadEnough www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
That gold shit is the most garish, cheap looking crap I have seen!
“If the deployments were really about crime, he would be threatening to occupy cities with rates much higher than..DC, like Memphis, Cleveland, and Hattiesburg, but instead those GOP states have sent their guard members to DC” It was never about crime. It’s about racism and punishing liberals
In front of the White House today, a man was arrested for burning the American Flag. It's the first documented defiance of Trump's unconstitutional EO. With multiple legal firms challenging the order, this arrest crystallizes the collision of civil liberties and authoritarian governance.
Life in the desert Just a few hours ago Haven't had a BIG HABOOB like this in quite awhile All over Phoenix (not my video friend sent) This Sky Harbor Airport!
It can't happen soon enough! Maybe Mother Earth and the Universe will see to that.
Totalitarianism !
🧵 Adam Kinzinger is right: the 2nd Amendment was never meant to let a president weaponize militias against states. That is dictatorship. A militia that answers to a wannabe tyrant is no safeguard, it’s a coup in uniform. We can’t stay silent. Scripts in thread. @adamkinzinger.substack.com
First thing on their list was to gut medical science research, All research really. And they have succeeded. Until we start putting balls to the fire, these few individuals will continue their destructive spree. 🧪
I have noticed and been frustrated by BlueSky's lack of edit capabilities.

I shouldn't have to be outraged all the time. Hey Libertarians - it's your turn!
Democracy is a founding principle of our republic: Government by majority, by representative democracy. NOT of the rich,by the rich,for the rich. They fought against what the GOP is now trying to install. It's an all-out assault on our nation. WHERE ARE OUR LAWMAKERS? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
The regime is putting all of us at risk by their vindictiveness and disregard of law.
BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Mississippi’s Supreme Court district lines must be redrawn to ensure Black people in the state don't have their voting power diluted.
John Bolton: “The historical verdict on Trump will be devastating. It’s rare to see one person being so destructive. He’s more like a vandal warlord than a constructive president. That’s what history will judge him on very severely.”
Hunted like animals, run down by cars, beaten senseless. For the crime of picking our food for us. All the want is a decent job so they can support and raise their families in a safe country. But this country is not longer safe for them. We broke the bargain. They didn't.
Has anyone started a pool on when this wonderful event will occur?
If the fossil fuel industry didn’t have our president and corporate America by the throat, we could have nice things like this too.
The cruelty never ends...

The Trump regime is waging war on all of human civilization and on the planet we all share and have a sacred duty to preserve and protect. The only right answer to such self-destructive insanity is: NO!!!!!!!!!! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/c...
U.S. intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard has ordered that all information on Russia-Ukraine peace talks be restricted from America’s closest allies in a move that has unsettled the intelligence community.
Have you read much about the Sturmabteilung? They were also known as the "SA", or simply the "Brown Shirts". You should really brush up on that episode of history: belib.org/KuWEXo9 [SPOILER ALERT: It did not end well for their leader, Ernst Röhm]

"Ayman is a paragon of the kind of person we want in this community, and that this has happened to him demonstrates the kind of cruelty that has been unjustly dealt to every immigrant. And that should be a wakeup call to reform the system in a way that is just and fair.”
“Ben Sanderson, a climate scientist at CICERO, a Norwegian climate research institute, on Bluesky. “Establish a contrarian position, cherry pick evidence to support that position, then claim that this position is under-represented in climate literature.””
This is an incredibly comprehensive and accurate view of the sweeping malign activities of Vladimir Putin by a brilliant, first hand observer, @markhertling.bsky.social The Trump administration would be wise to pay close attention to this litany of evil. www.thebulwark.com/p/putin-alwa...
“In every realm that allows him to harm our country’s interests, values, and norms, he somehow inflicts more damage than even pessimists anticipated.” @johnjharwood.bsky.social writes how Trump continues to harm America’s interests. Read more: zeteo.com/p/trump-is-i...
Oh no, we don't get enough sunlight in Arizona. Temps over 100 (usually over 105) for the last three months, hot all day and most of the night, and even the desert is suffering from our extreme droughts. I cannot think of any location that will actually benefit from this. What a moronic idea.
You need to call Congress. They are letting this happen. 202-224-3121. #ICC Send letters via @resist.bot Or simply text ‘sign PVLNBX’ to 50409 to add on and send to your members of Congress. Out them on notice. 👇 resist.bot/petitions/PV...
BIG WIN: A court ordered the Trump Education Department to reinstate the civil rights workers they fired. I taught kids with disabilities––the kind of students helped by these workers. Every child deserves to be treated fairly. I’m staying in this fight for our kids.
Tina Peters was convicted of multiple felonies, including election tampering, and sentenced to nine years in prison. Now Trump is threatening the state of Colorado with “harsh measures” if she’s not released from jail. This is straight out of a banana republic.
