The last 6 months have been a shit show. Government programs are being gutted rapidly. Incompetence reigns as partisan hacks fire qualified civil servants, make life harder/more expensive for average Americans, all while destroying whatever faith we had in our systems. Don’t give up. Keep fighting.

It’s been an exhausting first week of this administration. Do not despair and do not give up hope! It’s a strategy to overload and shock our systems. They want us to give up. They want us apathetic. Step back when you need to and take time for your mental health, but fight as you’re able.

The Nazi scourge didn't die in a bunker; it rested. Nestled in the hearts of the vermin who fled justice, it sought solace in welcoming sewage. The U.S., behind its cloying good-guy facade, obliged; nurtured the sickness; watched it metastasize. Now, Evil feels safe again. It's angry. And ravenous.

Diabolical!! I’m so glad the guy inside the frog suit was okay and he seemed in good spirits. These goons are so pathetic and so eager to harm!

It’s messed up. It’s because of primaries. In my home state Republicans have a closed primary and Democrats, minority in the state, have an open primary. Republicans run the state and if you want a say in who makes it to the ballot (and will likely win) you have to be a registered Republican.

Republicans LOVE work requirements for everything from healthcare (Medicaid) to food assistance (SNAP). I say Congress needs a WORK REQUIREMENT. Show up or don’t get paid and become ineligible for re-election.

Fascists don’t fear electoral consequences because they plan to either not hold them or ignore/fix the results.

Air @madmaymermaid.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly. Like I can’t take her fight for democracy seriously when she bent over backwards to thank a FASCIST burning American democracy to the ground.

Three religions that technically worship the same god and yet have spent centuries slaughtering each other 🙄. I like Jesus’ teachings, but religion is such a cancer. Theocracy is far worse. Funny that Christian Nationalists/fascists don’t realize they’re no different than the Taliban.

You REALLY think they wouldn’t steal a heart? Of course they would! I think they would for any President, but especially for a law breaking narcissist.

They have to fucking hide his vegetables! Do you remember that story from his first term? An old man who, despite having access to any and all food, has to be treated like a damn toddler. I can’t wait for his heart to give out.

It’s something they normally just do at the WH. Short of MRIs, CT Scans, and surgery. Most everything can be done at the WH in terms of medical care for the President.

They won’t be absolved for helping elect a fascist POS. They don’t get to walk back or refuse to take accountability.

Fighting for democracy is now leftist behavior?? Well I guess in America it sure as hell is since the right has embraced fascism.

What a bunch of whiny little babies. They make America look so weak and pathetic.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

I know he’s lawless but the federal government has zero fucking say in the hiring and firing decisions of state government. Oregon has a blue Governor and a blue AG. They will not allow this man to be fired by the President.
