Trump is setting the stage for his next coup. When he declares himself king (2026), he’ll have his thugs on the ready when the entire country is ready to literally drag his ass out of the White House.

Rape is not so much about the sexual act as it is about power. The desire to take away a person’s soul. To steal their worth. To crush their will. Dirty them. To lord power over them. Trump is that man. He is raping our county & getting away w/it! ICE people are the same. He should be castrated!
LongStanding (@longstanding.bsky.social)
As a woman who lived through every kind of abuse from a former state trouper, I can tell you this. What Trump & his despots are doing is the same. They wear you out w/their “power” & clan. They get away w/it. You lose hope. You feel there is no justice. You’re beaten down & on your own. Fight back!

President Trump made a series of false claims about elections in a social media post in which he pledged to “lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS” and voting machines, including an inaccurate assertion that states have to run elections in the manner the president tells them to. | Fact check

Trump is not interested in making any “peace deal” w/Putin. He’s just putting on show. Putin lands on US soil as a wanted war criminal. If he landed anywhere else he would be arrested. Trump has no business speaking on behalf of Ukraine. Same guy who faced impeachment over that “perfect call.”
LongStanding (@longstanding.bsky.social) reply parent
I was thinking the same thing. That would be TREASON!
LongStanding (@longstanding.bsky.social)
I’m thinking tomorrow’s Trump meeting w/Putin on American soil has nothing to do w/Ukraine. Trump probably wants to get his input on how to seal his own dictatorship here in the US. Maybe he’ll give away Alaska? Putin won’t ever let up on Ukraine. Never trust a felon & a war criminal in one room.

ICE is Trump’s version of Putin’s Wagner Group. Private militia/mercenaries. Take all the time you need with that.

Now that the Republican Party has stripped away a woman’s right to choose, can we address the dead-beat dad issue? If a man simply spreads his seed without any care for his child/children, and does this repeatedly, should we not have laws to enforce vasectomy of such men? Seriously?

The city and county of Los Angeles, as well as the state of California, should not allow this. If that requires the threat of force, then so be it. I don't know where everyone else's lines are, but I don't find this tolerable. Too many historical precedents to shrug this off.

I had to use both for my child as a solo mom. I was laid-off and had a hell of a time finding a new job. I finally found a new job, but I did everything I could to stay afloat. Uber, Lyft, painted people’s cabinets, sold stuff, etc. I was lucky. I only used those services for 6 months.

I got the same thing! Your average SS recipient is receiving about $20k per year in benefits, so their income from SS is already under a taxable range. The standard deduction is $15-30k.

Throughout history, there has always been a tipping point before a revolution. Gross wealth inequality is when the people have had enough. A society that feeds the rich and starves the poor is one that will inevitably collapse. If Republicans pass Trump’s insane bill, there will be a reckoning.
