In less than a year, America is quite unrecognizable.

Apparently, the Constitution of the United States no longer has any meaning for the Supreme Court of the country.

Amazing how fast progress can be reversed in America.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Meidas Touch is reporting that Zelinsky asked if they could use the tomahawks, and Trump responded he would have to ask Russia if it was OK for Ukraine to use the tomahawks.

WTF?

Get weapons from Europe!

I struggle to figure out WTF to do with my healthcare insurance this year, I reflect that we are called the richest country in the world.

But it can’t give it citizens healthcare.

I would say America is the greediest country in the world.

And now it’s fascist as well. SMH

Silence is the greatest weapon in any fight
If the media stops flagellating Trump and toadies with inane softball questions the government will cave

“Stock futures rebound from Friday’s rout after Trump says China situation ‘will all be fine.’ ” - CNN

They know he’s lying, but there are profits to be made. Mine the bump.

Trump claims Biden sent FBI agents to the Jan 6 insurrection. Biden wasn’t president then so it would’ve been a heck of a feat.

Please, for God’s sake, ask Trump to explain that. SMH, feckless press.

But his followers say yeah, incapable of thinking it through.

America has failed it citizens.

Besides being not being not too bright, Trump staff is lying to him about the violence.

If Trump‘s cronies get frustrated enough, they may try to create some violence. I’m sure Fox News would “eat it up”.

Welcome to the new ‘Merica.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

And this is what is wrong with America. Tax are rich!

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 2d

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Time to bring that global message home. America no longer appears to be a Democratic Republic and the American press is very late and/or nonexistent in pointing that out.

But then most American press is owned by complicit billionaires.

George Stephanopoulos did the right thing and cut off the lying JD Vance. Well done, George, way past due.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

It’s a hell of a bad argument.

Supposed to be the richest country in the world, but it can’t support its people with even basic healthcare.

No no, we must give the money to a foreign dictator who favors Trump. Who voted for this?

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

These are the No Kings Day protests scheduled for October 18th. 😃

I would say the people are unhappy. I’ll be there, I hope you will be too.
