This is SO GOOD and explains SO MUCH about MAGA homophobia. www.youtube.com/shorts/KY9vj...
I wish people would stop doing this
Blep
he’s been laying on my foot for twenty minutes and apparently making this face
GOOD
Not gonna argue any of that, not his fan or defender but I do take pleasure in his trolling of the Orange Menace. Who else with power on the left is standing up to the moment? He and Pritzker seem to be the only ones with literal balls fighting back.
how is pointing out his satirical political theater 'defending' anything? his mockery is hilarious, and so is the fact that MAGA and y'all both don't get it no one who didn't vote red Trump is going to vote for blue Trump
Food banks and other food-related NGOs aren't waiting for their states to take action. But they are taking advantage of the moment to retool for needs beyond that fund's restrictions. foodbanknews.org/snap-ed-is-g...
Post revolution, what should our priorities be? This is where I fall:
Republicans have said in the past that it was Antifa who attacked the Capitol on Jan-6. If this is true then why was Ashli Babbitt helping them and why does the right want to give her a military funeral now?
May James Dobson have the karmic eternal experience he wished on everyone who wasn't a white evangelical man. The horrific damage he perpetuated on countless women, children and minorities can never be atoned by his taking leave of this mortal coil. Good riddance. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E6q...
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! I needed this!!
We need more billionaire influence in U.S. elections!!! Says JV Vance and his puppeteers. Welcome to Citizen's United 2.0 It could get worse. Much worse. Heads up! @parkroseperma.bsky.social short 2:40 explainer vid: www.youtube.com/shorts/UJ6ds...

Then there's this triple-convicted murderer, sprung from a 30 year sentence and released on the streets of Orlando last month. Rachel did a piece on this case last week. Dangerous insanity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
we should certainly keep an eye on that...and keep a tally! I'm just glad he's engaging directly, which empowers other politicians to do the same.. I STILL want to vote in a progressive WOMAN for POTUS next time. But he (or some other white dude on a white horse) might be what we get. 🙃
they're ignorant MAGA toadies

Thom Hartmann paints a horrifying future for Gaza and Ukraine at the hands of morbidly wealthy mad men. So many reasons to protest and stand up to the insanity it's dizzying. 🌟🌟🌟 www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...
i love this
Don't know who did this but have to share Never forget the #EpsteinFiles
This is the dire danger
He is def slick, opportunistic and flawed. And, yeah--great attack dog, like no one else so far. My trust is mixed; trying to be wise abt not letting perfection get in the way of progress. Protecting trans rights is a hero's opportunity. We have until his next campaign to educate him. 🤞🏼
its primary use has been to treat bipolar disorders--pathologies that don't resemble dementia, so it's not surprising it takes so long for a mostly single use drug to be found useful for unrelated issues. It can be very toxic and is prescribed less and less in favor of newer meds.
Thank you. I missed his trans bashing. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
No need to overhype this hack with breathless memes when everyone's nervous systems are already maxxed out....the "entire" federal court system wasn't hacked. It looks like a targeted hack. Here's some deets: www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
NEVER? Why?
This is going to be his best year ever. He's cashing in all the fucks he has left to give. I'm so here for it. 🌟🌟🌟
The full moon drops in for a kiss with the Pacific Ocean this photo was taken about 15 years ago by a friend Chris Busey who sat on a boat and waited for the right time [early am] to take it. I look online and people are using it without credit to him. I got over 100,000 views on Facebook
sooner the better
Yes, excellent points. Confusion is the goal and none of us are immune to mis- and disinformation tactics, so we need to stay sharp. I just assume and wish that lefties were smarter than believing and passing on outrageous memes as real without even just a cursory fact check.
this is a meme about Katie Johnson, whose case is well documented. Show me the *actual records* of any of the others on the preceding meme in this thread please
"on record". WHERE are the 'records'?
How about posting the source links noted on the bottom of this.....meme. Where is this meme from?? Anyone can say anything they want. It holds zero water without evidence and sources. "On video somewhere" is useless.
Critical thinking in action. Refreshing. All the posts you're reacting to are memes. This is lefty Q-anon.
Except this is a meme, not actual evidence or the "stories" of these people. If yall wanna make a solid case, post EVIDENCE and ditch the memes. We must believe *actual people* and reject the meme-ification of this terrible story. All I've seen about these individuals is from memes!
I'd love to engage on that soon!
Of course anyone can believe what they like. I choose to 'believe' facts and call my assumptions opinion until I have facts that confirm/disprove. Everyone posting opinion/conjecture as if it's fact is the very definition of disinformation. It's good to name your opinions vs verified truth.
I've enjoyed our chat! I need to move into my day (it's morning here in Hawaii) but will check back later. Take care of yourself--sending warm healing thoughts your way!
Just sent that link, lemme know if it didn't come through. It's a youtube
Gotcha, and I had the same problem and restricted my own chat. I'll send it through and then you can set it back how you like if you want, how's that
Makes sense. I don't think it'll go away suddenly, and I think Will & Kate have designs, but it does seem to be less and less relevant aside from its modern cultural legacy.
I think your chat setting might be off. It won't let me send highlight your account icon to compose a message.
I just went to DM you but can't find where to do it--still pretty new to Bsky. I'll keep looking..
Omigosh, that sounds so painful. Hope your healing progresses without glitches. Being away from your best canine friend is hard. Hope you can be back home soon. 💚
The whole 'purity' think is just ridiculous and egotistical, no matter where it comes from. Sad, too. Do you see signs of British (and European) royalty fading into the ether? It seems like it may be at pre-implosion stage. Just my far away observation..
oh gawd, I just can't. I'm consciously avoiding giving myself permission to let my imagination loose. Sticking to content about AI I trust so I can learn no matter how difficult the reality. Titration.
Omigosh, I'm so sorry and hope you're on the mend and getting the best care. Ok to DM you with the title? I found it useful to listen to their viewpoints--and see that they are mostly regular people too. Mislead, yes. But not monsters like their maniacal leaders.
it's just so gross. The talk about preserving their 'white culture' is laughable. Their fears of losing dominance in society are so telling.
I've wondered IF history will be definitively recorded now that AI has the power to essentially wipe out any form of information. But I think you paint an accurate picture!!!
Arkansas. I don't want to boost it, so lemme know if you want me to DM the link to the one I watched.
I know, I don't actually want anyone to take over the last vacant habitat on the planet, lol! I also just watched a doc--maybe the same one--about an all white community somewhere in the South. One of the guys used to be a hardcore lefty teaching permaculture in a Central American jungle...
well they were described as prostitutes and no, we don't have an age but c'mon--if that were a factor, it certainly would have been included in the dossier, dontcha THINK?? Please stop assuming stuff just because it sounds true. Assumptions are useless for justice and conviction.
I try not to let my fears of fascist absolutism and AI realities cloud the fact that humanity can and will survive our self-induced disasters. We're a pretty resilient lot. We're strong! But many won't, and I mourn all we are and will be losing.
So with you on every point. I mean, do these people imagine building a white North Korea? I guess if that's what they want, there's plenty of open space they won't have to steal from anyone down at the South Pole. Humanity will be better off if they all self-segregate, IMO. 😉
I think you're right--other smart nations are finding ways to move on now that the old stability of the US is no longer possible. The uncertainties and fear call for a lot of personal and community resilience while also staying accurately informed. Tall order. But we can do it!
Yeah it's really sickening how driven by hatred of Other these people are and more so because they seem to actually believe they have some higher moral ground in order to justify the cruelty and suffering those they deem evil..
Of course they say that! It's such an immature blatant lie that only the 'poorly educated' can't see through it--the US economy is right now headed for that Great Depression, according to actual economists. The economy WAS recovering from COVID pre-Jan 20. Now we're careening to disaster..
Not arguing with that--everyone knows about the cams. SC *actually went to the Moscow hotel room* it all supposedly happened in. He showed us. Also, no one ever claimed there were underage girls in the pee tape. If it exists, so what? It's irrelevant to the pedo charges.
I'm so sorry DJT disease is contagious!! It's a hard time to ferret out truth from the noise. Man, I wish I could personally apologize to the rest of the world for DJT and the suffering he's caused. I've had contempt for him since the 80s. He's always been a gross egotistical buffoon.
The men behind christofascism are scared shitless by women like KH, AOC and JC. I hope they all have serious and adequate physical security details . "They" want to lock up and shut up the women who call out their graft, greed and cruelty.
I'm not holding my breath on that one, haha! But seriously, yes, the pace and magnitude of his destruction and cruelty is breathtaking and revolting against the backdrop of no guardrails left to contain him.
So true!! It's scary that regular people skim past the flashing lights of disinformation because it's telling them what they want to hear. I guess it makes good business sense to spend as little as needed to accomplish the goals of disinformation and dissembling among the citizenry.
I'm so mad Americans are so hung up about electing women to the Oval. I mean COME ON NOW. It's so embarrassing that we have been known as 'the greatest country in the world' but are driven by misogyny and distrust of women's capabilities at the polls.
OMG I can't wait for those checks!! And I do hope researchers will dissect that abomination of humanity and his legacy of cruelty, greed and impunity. We say "never again" but seem to forget two generations forward....

Look for Qanon style language and breathlessness about having secret info that's suppressed--coming from amateur propaganda sites. It's pretty easy to spot.
I wish we could clone this woman. 💖
the Qanon style name is a giant clue.
LOL...I'm still cracking up about how he's going to single-handedly cut pharma pricing by a whopping 1500%!! He's like a broken clock and says something true maybe twice a day. Maybe. 🙃
"so what's with all the courtroom level presentation being asked so as to take a look at the compelling evidence being brought out which corroborates that?" What does this sentence even mean??? Are you denigrating us who insist on *actual evidence* of your claims?
Agree, although a clean fight seems a little lofty when dealing with so much dirty, rotten filth. But we sure can do our part by verifying info instead of spewing a fire hose of "sounds true"😉
How are Dems "taking care of Putin" by sitting by while the shitshow rolls on and intensifies? I just don't see it. And what do you mean by "without Putin"? Do you think Dems are plotting to assassinate him? What do they have on him now that they didn't have for the last 10 years? Why now?
Also, all they're getting from these sites are memes and amateur statements/articles with zero original sources, court documents or anything else that would exist if these claims are true
nah, you didn't need to say that because you know that those sites are prettily easily ID'd by journalists and others with minimum skills as being propaganda sites. If you don't know how to do that, LEARN. Otherwise you're playing leftie QAnon.
Thank gawd there's another sensible person on this thread who sees through the disinformation these probably well-meaning people are spewing. It can be hard to sort it all out. Thank you for dropping a reality check into the discussion. 💯🙏🏼
OMG yall sound like Q-Anon. You do know that "pee tape" is the name Stephen Colbert gave the tape mentioned in the Steele dossier, yes? And that SC is a COMEDIAN, yes?
A musical reminder to the Orange Menace in the Oval. Thanks to @gwyllm.bsky.social for sharing this little gem of a ditty for the day! www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8AG...
Katie Johnson is known and documented. The ones on your meme are not. Where's the evidence for THEM? The only place these names and cases exist seems to be social media.
Dude. This is insane. How do you think Ron DeSantis came to possess 'the Epstein files'?? Listen to yourself.
oh boy. Now the left has a Qanon-style "drop" site. Complete with AI photos and a lot of hot air and Google docs. You're' trolling at this point.

You posted a conspiracy theory meme. Not defending the Orange Menace--I'm calling out this cheap meme with zero sources to back 'em up. Show EVIDENCE of these settlements or they never happened. Do better than the BS pushers on the right. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...
Well I guess it's possible....but frankly I see zero evidence of any sort of strategy from the Dems. I see actual strategic progress being made in the streets, by vast numbers of activists who welcome everyone's participation, including politicians. Dems seem to be out to lunch..
"The worst secret in America is not just that rape happens, but that we would rather look away. That when a woman speaks, we hold a mirror to her instead of a mic. That we expect her to be both credible and kind, traumatized and coherent, broken but not bitter."
I ran in the house and I fell in a heap. I needed my rest, but I just couldn't sleep.
Sorry, a method to all *what*? KH's strategy? Rebuilding a broken democracy? Not sure what you mean
AND...... you didn't address how you believe KH is supposed to fix any of this as a failed candidate. You posted links in reply so I asked for the Clif notes on how you believe she could have prevented the system from being broken as you first claimed. Still waiting for that.
OK, I'll bite. What's your *evidence* he wasn't shot that day? And how do you think it changes anything today?
TBH, I was furious with her campaign for not doing recounts and lawsuits. Zooming out, I saw what I think she sees now: it's all too broken to fight for in its current form. America will have to rise from the ashes of fascism and build a new democracy that's actually FOR and BY the people.
I'd love to see her rise from the ashes on a white horse too. But not expecting it. We're gonna be building anew. Not rebuilding the old. We will need new leaders--of the time, with the energy and skills of the moment. Young people will rise to that call. They will need to.
Not really a reply to anything I said but ok. "Our government" is currently a Christofascist regime that isn't likely to "acknowledge some very unpleasant facts"--except for loss of the supports that have propped it up. Those supports are now crumbling by their own ineptitude lies and fecklessness
Of course you can have your opinion! And I can opine that resenting a black woman fresh off of 4 yrs as VP (starting with a violent insurrection) + a brutal flash campaign that was rigged against her while enduring a nonstop barrage of racism and sexism isn't really fair to her. That's all.
I see leadership emerging from the people. Have you been joining in the nationwide weekly calls of thousands and thousands of activists strategizing and stepping up to move the needle? I mean, there's a lot going on that doesn't make the news. Politicians aren't our only option for leadership.
Are you calling KH an 'elite'? And I disagree that large scale activism won't change the situation. It's the only thing that DOES stop fascism, actually, without outright war. There is a long rich history of effective nonviolent activism.
