You can't afford to "play it safe" on social media. WE can't. You must speak truth to power. Always. If you're not making threats, suggesting something illegal, or promoting violence....you're free to say whatever the f*ck you want, and voice your opinion about politics, or those who or in power.
I'm traveling to Canada in a couple of weeks. I've had friends who have cautioned me about my social media posts since I've got to go across the border. I refuse to obey in advance.
If your a white citizen you will be fine
Sorry not sorry, if a Nazi presents themself in my path, they will be punched. I will not back down. There does not seem to be a “use your words” option with Nazi kidnappers. I understand the possible consequences of my potential behavior. I am not promoting violence….just sayin 😌
💯 💯 💯
The not making threats part is getting harder by the day, what is illegal with this administration is almost impossible to tell.
True, but don’t give them an excuse to disappear you.
We are on the list! But that 100 puts us on the Truth side! 78% not fooled he loses!
Also, new on Bsky, we can not get Notifications for people we follow. It powers our algorithm here, so let's get organized.
Rarrrrrr
Okay. Here's my truth to power to you and other Dem insiders, Jack: Do some soul searching and find some better candidates. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
It has gotten me blocked around 800 times on this platform, but I'll continue to do so. Doesn't matter how polite I am.
I try to walk that line carefully.
MAGA folks are loud, mouthy and in your face. Their lack of grace is not a crime but it does require opposition. Silence is acquiescence. Confrontation is not comfortable. So what? Not much of value in life is comfortable (hard work, fitness, telling your kid “no”). Speak your truth.
Pulling zero punches as I have zero fucks left to give.
I am high school teacher just outside of LA. Im finding it harder and harder to not advocate violence against ICE. We cannot sustain 3 1/2 more years of this. I fear the inevitable confrontations and damage to education that will ensue in August.
They will probably come to high schools for kids. I advocate arming them all with spray paint cans, I'll donate
I’m wondering if, say 74% of Americans are calling for the elimination of our current regime by any means necessary, is that speech that we are guaranteed by our constitution? Or are we Post constitutional now?
We’ve been Post Constitutional since SCOTUS declared that the President, in the person of Trump, (& the next logical step is all Executive Branch employees following his dictates) has immunity for actions while in office.
It was LONG before that. Alcohol prohibition required an amendment. Locking up Mexicans for growing a wild plant? None needed. It was the Depression, they were taking our jobs. 90 years of this theocratic authoritarian unconstitutional shit. We voted. Legalized. USA said fuck you. It’s over.
I commented about using our second amendment rights to overthrow a tyrant and got suspended for 24 hours. So much for speaking the truth in a free country.
This is a key point Jack: bsky.app/profile/gins...
Are we free to say what we want? I mean, you wanted to type fuck not f*ck, right?
I type fuck all the time, I've even called someone a republicunt the other day and I hate that word
I only promote truth and a tad of Comedy.
That's my goal, Jack. And maybe the mofos will figure out who I am and try to arrest me. I'll resist, and I'm resourceful.
Here is my issue. That audience refuses to up their game by reading or watching only one media source of pure filth and lies!
I consider it a badge of honor when someone blocks me
Love this!
100% fuck ‘em If anyone here is in their 40s and gives even the thought of the odor of a shit what young XBOX-educated chuds think, they need to log off and go finish their midlife crisis first.
Im in my 60s I dont give a fuck, they all need locking up
Hell yeah (same here)
I do it daily. It’s the only way I can stay sane.

Be nice if the corrupter in chief also followed those basic principles
AND, voicing your opinions here is much cheaper than therapy.
Deleted 2 friends of 50+ yrs from my fb page today because they were attacking people in the comments on my posts. The vile words and lack of empathy for other people have shown the world and me who these fellows truly are.
I get rid of any trumpsters I find on my page
In honor of your post: Fuck donOLD tRUMP! Fuck everyone in his cabinet! Fuck every Republican (and Democratic for that matter) Senator and Congressman/Congresswoman who has cast even one vote for Ol' Yam Tits! Fuck every voter who voted for Vonshitshispants, or "sat out"! 🖕🏻🖕🏻
Agreed! Sadly though, anything we say could be seen by this Admin as a threat. Even saying, Have a nice day, could be met with a, What did you mean by that😊😉
That is a fact. And since I know that, I choose to follow the law as it has always been applied...say "F*ck it!," and continue writing as vigorously and blunt as I do. That's the risk we must take if we are to have a chance.
Yup, we'll just keep hammering them, no bowing down, no bended knees, no kissing of orange ass!
Agreed 💯
Ive been in the states for over 35 years still get dates mixed. Don’t mention light switches either
I shall borrow these for a while😂😂👍
And this?? 😂 bsky.app/profile/shan...
HAMC(Hell's Angels) would say "God Bless You".👀 To the reasoning that per Pink Floyd... "You better Run"!😮💯
Absolutely Jack, my husband’s friends joke they’ll have to break me out when Homan comes for the liberal old ladies after my daily calls, protest participation and social media posts.
As act up used to say Silence = Death.
Just had this conversation today. Every voice matters. Every. Single. One.
I generally do and then hold my breath for a minute ...😂
It is called Freedom of Speech, 1st amendment. Fuck Felon47
Sooooo, we CAN’T talk about carving the letter “i” into the foreheads of the Gestapo like in Inglorious Basterds so we can mark their shame for eternity? FIIINE.
Anyone going to primary this guy? bsky.app/profile/mick...
Ok, why should I not promote violence against nazis?
The velvet revolution: Popular demonstrations against the one-party government of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia included students and older dissidents.
The result was the end of 41 years of one-party rule in Czechoslovakia, and the subsequent dismantling of the command economy and conversion to a parliamentary republic.
Here's a breakdown of how Estonia defeated communism: 1. The Singing Revolution Beginning in the late 1980s, large groups of Estonians participated in mass demonstrations, rallying together to sing patriotic songs that had been previously banned by the Soviet regime.
These gatherings, including a huge song festival at Tallinn's Song Festival Grounds, were powerful expressions of national identity and a rejection of Soviet rule, drawing hundreds of thousands of participants – a significant portion of Estonia's population
This period of peaceful resistance, known as the "Singing Revolution," played a vital role in demonstrating the deep-seated desire for independence among the Estonian people.
Yep im not shutting up. FUCK TRUMP AND HIS WHOLE ADMINISTRATION THEY ALL NEED LOCKING UP
I totally agree. And I definitely do!

For now. Yet we fight.
I'm still posting anti-Hitler shit on Threads. Cheeto Hitler needs to be gotten out of the government. I don't want him dead, I want him to suffer a stroke and heart attack then survive to 100 years old so he can feel what he did to the rest of us.
As a reminder, I was visited by his SS back during his first reign for posting a meme. Now it’d be his neogestapo.
I would ask.... illegal according to whom.... civil disobedience is illegal but I'll still support it.
We will not be silent nor silenced. Cracks are forming. Minds are slowly opening to opinions and beliefs. Everything we do be it collectively or individually, be it big or small, matters. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Social media is noise. What works is action. Large peaceful demonstrations. Social media just reinforces your own views. What the people must do is protest peacefully across the country.
1/4🧵 Peaceful protest matters—but dismissing social media as “just noise” is a fundamental misunderstanding of how power, perception, and momentum work in 2025. Ask any authoritarian regime: they don’t fear protests nearly as much as they fear viral truth. That’s why they shut down...
2/4 ...Twitter in Turkey, ban Facebook in Russia, and throttle internet speeds in Iran. Because digital communication is how revolutions get coordinated before bodies hit the street.
3/4 Social media: *Organized the Arab Spring. *Mobilized millions for George Floyd. *Exposed war crimes in Ukraine. *Destroyed the credibility of coverups within hours.
4/4 Peaceful protests need fuel. Social media is the megaphone, the battlefield, and the organizer-in-chief. So don’t pit one against the other. If you're not using both, you're not fighting smart—you’re playing checkers in a chess war. You want change? Use every tool we’ve got.
So uhh how does "not suggesting anything illegal" work in a political landscape where laws are rewritten to favor the nazi fucks in power? I feel like your statement is toothless at best.
Mass protests work. Violence protests give authoritarian regimes legitimacy to crack down. Look at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Peaceful but mass on a huge scale. You engage in anything illegal with trump and you have lost
The nazis are gonna crack down citizens no matter what. You can either take it sitting down or use your second amendment right to show up for peaceful protests. You dont have to instigate to protect yourself. You dont have to make it painfully easy to exterminate yourself by being a dumbass.
By the way I’m 100% on your side. Massive respect
You’ve just pointed out where protests on the streets made the difference Social Media or rather media triggered the protests
MAGA was built on social media. And it’s where people get a lot of their news. It has power.
It’s an echo chamber. The best way to defeat them is by marginalising them. You’ll never win by confronting them on social media. Fires need oxygen. Deny them that
Oh much agree. I was simply commenting that social media does have power - maga was created and still driven by right-wing keyboard warriors. And that we need to build more power of our own.
No doubting the power social media has but the mistake in confronting then there is pointless. Move the battlefield to a different territory. The streets!!
You're not understanding his point. No one is expecting to change MAGA minds on social media. But we CAN use it to organize our own protests and spread important information and truths to our own side and any independents who aren't in an echo chamber already.
Perhaps I did. Yes it’s a useful tool to mobilise
Watching this at the moment. Chilling. It could happen in 🇺🇸. You have to unite against the regime. Not antagonise the opposition. You don’t want civil war
You’ll never win in the current social media environment and client media. You’ve lost that battle. Make it a pointless echo chamber for morons. Take to the streets. Focus your energy where your opponents can’t beat you. You have to own your battlefield. Media then can’t ignore you
Humor sure helps
Isn’t the entire Declaration of Independence a letter that makes threats, suggests something illegal, and promotes violence? I’m pretty sure I’m right since it resulted in a war. A rebellion, as I recall. Which is, by fucking definition, threatening, illegal, AND violent. Huh. Food for thought.
Over the years Iv been censored, suspended dozens of times, banned, etc. I dont trust anyone who hasnt been. Laws are optional; Truth and Justice are not.
You’re exactly Correct! I just get so fucken pissed off, discouraged and worried for my kids and GKids, I know I cross the line many times I attribute that to being old not knowing how much time I have left, I will pull back, thanks for the Heads Up
I’m always saying what’s on my mind.😎
I emailed Ashley Moody and Rick Scott and told them to fuck off. They're vile individuals.
Never even heard of Ashley Moody until now. Thank you for that bit of knowledge. Rick Scott would be sitting in prison were there any semblance of justice in the US.
You're welcome. Yes, he would be.
Yes. I see very little courage in many posts. It is scary, but not as scary as what's happening everywhere right now. Fearing his retribution has brought us to this awful place. It will get worse if we don't have courage.
Trump is a pussy taco.
It doesn’t work anyways. “Safe” isn’t safe. Nothing you don’t do will keep you safe. If they don’t like you, they’ll just make something up as an excuse to “detain” you. Might as well do the right thing.
It's crazy that anyone should be afraid to speak their mind in this country. Our freedom of speech is our greatest freedom.
This issue is freaking out the MAGA-Verse. Keep it going and REPOST. mdavis19881.substack.com/p/epstein-fi...
This is it — the most disgusting Trump/Epstein story. If you don't know it, read and watch. And then SHARE the shit out of it. It's time to turn up the heat to the max. Share, Share, Share! mdavis19881.substack.com/p/watch-vide...

Organize organize organize. Underground or in Social Media organize. Pull the voices of the many into a chorus, a shout that can be heard everywhere
Unless you’re from another country. Then you have zero rights and should delete social media before entering.
They can only kill you once. Take a hint from Nathan Hale. If you don't know who he is, look him up. He was a Revolutionary War hero. My ancestors fought in the Rev. War. Some were wounded and some died. I'm not going to let them down now.
Completely agree @jack Hopkins-The Original !
Only thing going on that’s illegal is the federal government.
Unless you’re from overseas and trying to get in to the US … in which case the authorities believe they’re entitled to refuse you entry on the basis of some social media posts …
I'll be leaving in sept although coming back for Xmas but won't book it till later in the year. See what's happening then.
You're right. And that's EXACTLY why those of us in the United States....cannot even think about caving to this, and allowing fear to be an excuse to stop shouting from the rooftops!
I was never good at "Shut up". Why start now?
How before they come after us? I have been very vocal with my hatred for all things trump!
Agree, but people are truly afraid.
Yes, and that's when the cream rises to the top. That's when we find out who is committed to making sure democrac survives. That's where we find out how many people who over the years who swore they would have never submitted during the Holocaust....were blowing smoke to impress friends and family.
It does feel like that Line in the Sand has come
Until the day they make criticizing the government legitimately illegal (criticizing is NOT the same as threatening), I will continue to exercise my 1st amendment rights.
I’m damn terrified! A service-connected veteran descended from the owners of one of the original colonies, an intersex woman, parent, and my fiancé is Hispanic. I live in a VERY red place. My pic is in my feed. If they’re going to commit a holocaust, being quiet won’t save me.
Yup. We can say TRUMP sucks and MAGA is a hate fueled cult all we want!!!
Speaking truth to power isn't for those in power to hear. It's for those cowering under the boot of tyrants, thieves and psychopaths. Speak truth to power for others to hear, for those who say, "If I comply, they'll leave me alone." Say it loud, say it clear, say it again and again. FUCK THE SYSTEM!
No we can’t play it safe! We can’t let them win!
I'll keep talking until my last breath
youtu.be/PfYlGz8A_1g?...
Amen
Amen, I speak out whenever and wherever I can, on my radio show, through social media, and in public. Last week, a woman who lives in fear told me I was stupid for speaking out. I took that statement with a grain of salt, but it still bothered me.
Amen Jack.
I just suggest that people start buying two-way radios and start stocking up on them
👍👍
I look at it this way, if this is now your worry, it’s too late. And I remind myself that my mouth has already gotten me in trouble for 67 years so why stop now? 🤷♀️
I always speak my mind even if I offend others! I am not afraid to speak out against the democrats or republicans. I don’t care if delicate snowflakes cry about it! My job is to offend them and fight fascism
Okay, but I’m not going back to Twitter.
I definitely do. Idc
