A planet with no billionaires. Please and thank you.
I have a fabulous family and don’t want the current WH squatters to permanently scar them. The opinions, comments, and reposts found here reflect my views and have NOTHING to do with any other organization with which I’m affiliated (OK, HR, better?)

Celebrate workers AND the unions that have historically been pivotal to growing the wealth and improving living standards of people in this country. Too many folks accept the anti-union message of billionaires and GOP politicians that undercuts prosperity for so many workers and their families.

They are basically saying, “F&%@ You!” to 40% of Missourians with plans to deny them any voice in the federal government. Yes, the GOP is working hard to continue the grotesque rule of a one-party authoritarian regime. No more government of, by, and for the people.

And we knew that when he first uttered the nonsense. It is maddening to see the abuse of emergency declarations by Trump and the abdication of their constitutional duty by GOP MC.
Dave Geraghty (@imhodag1964.bsky.social)
Said it before: Trump and his shit show are an existential threat to our constitutional republic, our liberties, and our lives. Repetition and recognition of the threat he poses, and action to address it at a macro level, are needed.

He has, and this is true of 95% of his bullshit, NO AUTHORITY to determine the legality or illegality of anything. He cannot overturn Texas v. Johnson.

The pattern is to strip away any remnants of the institutional framework that previously supported democracy. Most of that has already happened. Does anyone believe the 2026 elections will lead to a positive resolution and restoration of the constitutional republic? Is there room for optimism?

MAGA governors are joining the fascist Trump regime by supporting the use of federalized national guard members to terrorize DC. This action is built on yet another Republican lie. Members of NG units, you have the right to refuse this unconstitutional, (treasonous?) power grab.
