I hear often from Trump supporters “as long as they follow the law” They will support these agendas if it follows the law or the supreme court rules it so. There is something so vile where a citizen prevents themselves from having a backbone, standing up instead of sitting by. To be a free thinker

Trump says flag burning incites violence. A Supreme Court ruling cast doubt on that. - ABC News I am actually surprised he didn’t just say burning MAGA flags.

Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS Ruling, these are cases of GOP undermining its constituents prior to Hot Wheels.
S.J Williams (@cumberlandtred.bsky.social) reply parent
Combined, these could shift 5–8 seats toward Democrats. Meanwhile, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Texas already implemented GOP-friendly redraws, cementing 10–15 GOP seat gains unless courts intervene.
S.J Williams (@cumberlandtred.bsky.social)
Bigger reason of why GOP is panicking and gerrymandering… The most certain redraws likely before 2026 are in: • New York (Dem gain) • Alabama and Louisiana (Dem gain via Voting Rights Act) • Wisconsin (new court may flip maps) • South Carolina (pending SCOTUS ruling)

Voters see through it. As for Chuck Schumer, his leadership is not just uninspiring it’s losing. Under his direction, Democrats are not building momentum; we’re bleeding it.

The Democratic Party is increasingly out of touch with its own base. This disconnect runs deep and if unaddressed, it will catch them off guard once again. AIPAC has become a political liability, not an asset.

Since July 17, at least sixteen children in Gaza have died from starvation unidentified, unnamed, and largely unnoticed. A preventable famine is unfolding, yet the global response remains muted. Despite repeated declarations that every life is precious, the world continues to fail at proving it.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Republicans have always struggled with governing, and now they’re failing in real time. What’s shocking is they can’t even spin their way out of it blaming Obama for Epstein, pretending they won a tariff war they started. The GOP used to lie well. Now they’re not even good at their one talent.

Trump has actually been remarkably successful in implementing his agenda and at the six month mark he's hit a low point in Gallup approval ratings. That's because the agenda is fundamentally unpopular! Something we tried desperately hard to communicate in 2024.

In reality, we’re the United States with an asterisk United, but only when it’s convenient. United, but only under my terms. United, unless the results don’t go my way. Until that changes, the asterisk might as well be permanent.

The unity once implied in that name is now strained, conditional, or performative at best. This isn’t unity—it’s coexistence with caveats.

The refusal to accept outcomes, facts, and institutions has seeped into the marrow of the nation. It’s not just surface-level disagreement anymore; it’s existential. To call this place the “United” States of America feels more like a punchline than a description.

That denial has become a standard, a rallying point, and a symbol of deeper fracture. It reflects and reinforces the division that’s been growing in this country—not just politically, but culturally, socially, and even morally.
S.J Williams (@cumberlandtred.bsky.social)
The Trump administration’s refusal to accept Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election didn’t just undermine one political moment—it set a dangerous precedent. What was once considered a peaceful transition of power, a cornerstone of American democracy, became optional in the eyes of millions.
