Why would I do that… I am asking for men who were leaders of this country to stand up for us now. Not hard here

And where are the former presidents who lead this country, why are they so chill as this happens around us and to us?
A major obstacle for folks attempting to defend democracy is that a perfectly accurate description of what Trump is attempting sounds like hysterical conspiracy theorizing to a lot of people. We default to “c’mon, that can’t happen here”—which is exactly why it can.
And? Will democrats do anything?
Oh look there is a Democrat still… coming out of hiding for a quick post and back they go… we deserve better
We all know the goal was always to “own the libs.” And in chasing that, too many have given up their own freedoms just to claim a hollow “win.” What they don’t see is that the monster they fed never stops, it eventually comes for us all. And now their silence is deafening.
And yet all political leaders, on both sides are silent, hiding and abandoning the nation who voted for them. Dems and rep, hoping democracy survives but unwilling to say anything , even the most simplistic statement that “it’s wrong” isn’t said
Who? The Democrats have abandoned their voters, hiding and scared is all we see now
It’s as if there is no democrat party anymore… they are all hiding, weak, lost and America suffers for it
We have no democract party…. The nation is paying the price, our democracy and freedoms are suffering and your talking like it’s 2007
I have teams in mine now… actually it’s helpful when running kids to practice and need to take a meeting from car
Columbia! A prestigious and once respected university now worth nothing…. Sorry for all Alumni and current students
Be better AP … doubtful you can but at least try
How classically wimpy of the Dems…. We are on our own
That’s it? That’s all Dems have to say about this illegal act and engagement of war…. Good god er have no one working for Americans
Hello Congress? You there? Do you care?
It’s his final step to dictatorship. Destroy America government, Americas economy and make every business and person loyal to him for any relief. And the dumbest as well as the greediest amongst voted for it all.
This was….five months ago
I leased a new car two weeks after Trump won (wasn’t due for a new one till late 2025) because I knew where we would be very soon…. Sadly I was right.
Who voted for this? Oh right, the dumbest amongst us…. Way to go
5 pregnancies, 2 children… it’s been over 10 yrs since my last child was born, 11 yrs since last miscarriage and the feeling of absolute loneliness with each miscarriage I had, walking around as if nothing just happened, going to work as if I didn’t lose a piece of my soul… awful
How are we ok with this? With any of it?
It can be any of us for any reason. Our kids, loved ones, friends swept away…. We must all step up!
How about you demand their resignations!!
How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security? We need answers. Right now.
Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one. This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay. AND THERE IS ZERO DOWNSIDE FOR EVEN THE MOST SCAREDY-CAT CONGRESSPERSON.
See the GOP for reference
“Polestar wants to deliver the final blow. … Polestar is offering anyone who owns or leases a Tesla $5,000 off a lease on a brand new Polestar 3. Combined with their latest $15,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive, any Tesla driver can buy a Polestar 3 for a whopping $20,000 off.”
And we will be a dictatorship…. There will be no freedom for anyone
👇🎯 time to change that
This is Chuck. Chuck is selling a book. Chuck also has a full-time job. I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not. Don’t be like Chuck. And don’t buy Chuck’s book.
In addition to his political savvy, Chuck Schumer also offers cutting edge communication strategies ranging from an op-ed in the New York Times to an interview with the New York Times
Where are they now? Their silence appears they have “rolled over”
Fact-check: True
They want a dictatorship, control of everything and everyone and republicans (so far) are willing to let them have it
The White House hired a Pentagon press secretary who openly spreads anti-semitic conspiracy theories online but college students believing that Palestinians are human beings is "anti-semitism" this is why a clear and decisive rejection of that framing should have happened from the start
It’s getting sadder by the day watching Dems just roll over and have no strategy
They are all rolling over… it’s awful and frightening
“While Americans approved of Trump’s foreign policy by two points in January (39% to 37%), they now disapprove by 13 points (50% to 37%)…” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
What a failure , all of them
US announced job cuts surge 245% in February on federal government layoffs www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...
Is this MAGA voted for?
Hey MAGAts did you vote for a recession too?
At the same time that the entire Republican Party is complaining that Zelenskyy lacked sufficient respect, Trump is calling the leader of our neighbor and longest ally "Governor" and his Cabinet are doing shit like this.
Congress can stop all this at any time…. They haven’t and that makes them cowards… both sides
And Putin thanks the Republican Party
March 5, 2023.
What a disgrace…
6 weeks… took 6 weeks of MAGAts to jack up the economy Way to go everyone who voted for him
"None of us should let Congress off the hook. The key constitutional crisis here is if Congress does not do its job of standing up to abuse of power." — @mawaldman.bsky.social on @ayman.msnbc.com
Here is some truth: Putin invaded Ukraine. NATO is the most successful military alliance in history. Since 1945, American leadership has ensured freedom and security for ourselves and millions of others around the world.
And when it happens do we stop contributing and get to keep the money in our paychecks?? Ya know, since social security won’t exist anymore
Johnson knows that Putin can stop the war at anytime…. It’s a cowards game he’s playing… and if republicans are selling out Ukraine watch what they to do Americans..
And they thought TiK Tok was the issue…
And what…. They just roll over now? Clearly we have different views of leadership… all good I will move along now
And the next takeover has begun , right on cue Way to go MAGA
Nope… I mangling them to show they care too. Not a hard thing
Give her 5 minutes and she will change her mind… we have been down this path with republicans before and they always cower
Hey @cnn.com …. It can all end if Putin would simply stop Ukraine is on defense
You mean be the leaders they should be? Too many are hiding including former presidents and senators and congressmen and heads or state and and and
We all need to stand for America, that’s the point. But you do you…
And another coward gains their wings….
I would really appreciate a statement from prior presidents right now. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @jayapal.house.gov
MAGA must think they are immune somehow?… why else would you ever have voted for it?
NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.
What?
And what…. These guys hide out as it crumbles? They live here too, they should care enough to speak.
They are and their words and input have influence. They live in America too, they should care enough to comment. Much like Liz Cheney did yesterday
I am asking why they aren’t speaking out, why they don’t seem to care
Where are our American leaders? Obama, Harris, Clinton, Bush… why the silence, where have they gone?
"Either way, it’s as if Franklin Delano Roosevelt had showered slurs on Winston Churchill during the Blitz and praised Adolf Hitler" -- The Philadelphia Inquirer's great foreign-affairs columnist Trudy Rubin, on what the hell just happened here www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...
I wonder why? They (MAGAs) have families and friends living in the US why would they want it to be in disarray and a state of failure? Or is it simply to be so wealthy you are living in a castle with a mote while the rest of America burns?
Here is a clear-eyed analysis of Trump's surrender to Putin from @zeit.de (headline with Google Translate), better than any coverage in US institutional media. I wish this coverage were translated and opened to US audiences. We need it.
There won’t be mid-terms… pay attention here, it’s breaking down in 6 weeks already.
A+++++++
Wake up everyone!
The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...
Trump stands for Putin. Not America.
The Republican Party has officially fallen. @senatormcconnell.bsky.social
History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.
Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
Putin and Russia are the bad guys. Zelensky and Ukraine are the good guys. Trump has us siding with the bad guys. This is like if Roosevelt told Churchill that if he’d just let Hitler have the rest of Europe, everything will be fine.
Vance to Zelenskyy: you don’t say thank you. Truth:
fuck jd vance too
Utter chaos….and zero strategy, just vengeance and stupidity, same as the voter profile who got us here
You have got to be kidding me.
Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Democracy on the brink…. Is this what MAGA voted for?
Will the Trumpsters care when Canada is invaded by Putin, by Trump and at war?
It’s next and It didn’t have to be this way, too many stupid and ignorant Americans voted for this guy and we will all suffer now
Not elected, not a government employee.. and mainstream media broadcasts the whole thing as if it perfectly normal. Sanewashing as we suffer
My son is on Medicaid. His disability is an extremely serious involving severe continuous pain, and often a motorized wheelchair (we bought). We parents are doing ALL we can to get him medical treatment, pouring our savings. Medicaid covers a small portion of his treatment. Don't cut our Medicaid!
Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people
This is an attack on Medicaid, & ANYONE who votes on this budget this week is voting to cut Medicaid in America, and voting to gut healthcare for Medicare recipients in America. As a recipient of Medicare and Medicaid, I PLEAD with you to call your member of Congress at 202-224-3121 & say NO CUTS!
It’s hard to fathom how devastating this will be… At 6:00 pm, the House votes on a budget that guts Medicaid —ripping healthcare from low-income families, sick kids & seniors—all to fund tax cuts for the rich. Children will lose life-saving care so billionaires can hoard more.
To pay for "bloody” mass deportation and tax cuts for billionaires, Congressional Republicans are “reportedly considering slashing services across the government, seeking at least $4 billion in total cuts.” They’re coming for your Social Security and Medicaid. immigrationimpact.com/2025/02/21/g...
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
Joni Ernst cast one of two pivotal votes to let this happen.
“There’s the America I know and love—and then there’s Trump’s America. I will keep looking for signs of opposition, from wherever in the world there are pro-democracy humans who see and reject what’s happening here.” www.americaamerica.news/p/rooting-ag...
How long?
