To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

I hope you hear soon! The waiting must be so awful.
The photos coming out of those coastal towns are just scary! And are we sure this admin realizes that Alaska is part of the US?

Diane @dyn13.bsky.social · 1d

That is my Congresscritter.
I've called his office to tell him to stop lying.
I've emailed him to tell him that it isn't Minnesota nice to lie.
And I'll be protesting Oct 18 with a sign that says 'Scary Boomer Terrorist'.
Unfortunately he is in a very safe GOP district.

Jeff Freeman, a photojournalist for WLS-TV, was shot with multiple pepper balls by federal officers while covering protests at an ICE facility in Broadview, IL, on Sept. 27.

ICE officers had warned local police that there would be a “sh*t show” that day.

Important and true.
We all need to spend our media dollars supporting truly independent investigative journalism!

Here’s how tariffs work. Your costs go up, and that money gets transferred to the wealthy.

Whether you’re progressive, liberal, leftist, libertarian, communist, socialist, moderate, democrat, conservative, Christian, atheist, Gen Z, Boomer… we have the same enemy. It’s the oligarchs.

The trend of large news outlets being controlled by the richest people is very dangerous. The reporting by John Oliver is excellent. I am taking my subscription money and supporting some independent media that are investigating and reporting facts - actual journalism.

All jokes aside, this is an incredible piece of analysis & the way it concludes by motioning to the growing phenomenon of RW billionaires buying & destroying anything that challenges their regime of unchecked profit & power should serve as a wake-up call to those of us still missing the thread.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

And I'll bet he has never heard a Bad Bunny song nor taken the time to understand what he sings about. Bet he has no idea how many people listen to BB. In short, he is clueless.
