As a Democrat, I believe in the Constitution and the values that make the United States a unique experiment in democracy. I also think that civil rights should be guaranteed for everyone. Join me on X and Threads!

#Ice is fucking with #Uber and #Lyft drivers. They’re coming to a city and state near you. I’m a driver for both companies. We transport people to work, to doctors' appointments, and to rehabilitation centers. We drive people to domestic violence shelters. We take kids to school. fuck this shit.

#Republicans and #Trump favor the poorly educated. They oppose teaching civics. They don’t want Americans to attend college and learn, especially if they’re not white, male, and part of the far-right Christians. They know those voters are likely to support them. They need to be told how to think.

The #Republicans control the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. They are responsible for all branches of government. The government is shut down because they don’t know how to govern. They do know how to dismantle the federal government; they hate it.

This is a cease-fire. That’s all it is, which is a good thing because fewer people will be murdered. I am worried that #Hamas will wait this out, and the war will go on. #Palestine, we’ll see what happens. Unfortunately, I don’t think this will stop the war. But I hope I’m wrong. Trump is unstable.

I have an Apple iPhone.

I can upload videos to post just fine. However, when I open the app to view people’s posts and videos, it calibrates before I can continue. I have to tap on one of my previously posted videos a few times, and eventually, it stops calibrating, allowing me to use the Skylight app. Thank you.

#PamBondi reminds me of a girl in high school. That thought that she was hot. And she was part of the bitchiest group of girls in school. They were essentially just friends with each other. And if you had to sit down next to one of them in class, you better hope you were a part of the bitch group.

#KamalaHarris warned us that #Trump might use our military against us. People either didn’t believe her or thought it wouldn’t impact them or someone they care about. This has never happened in our country’s history. Our sexism and racism led us here. She’s a black woman. Couldn’t vote for that.

Maybe they could learn civics in college or even in grade school, so they get the basics. At least take a civics class. Republicans don’t want to teach civics in schools because if you keep people ignorant and uneducated, they’ll vote Republican.

Joe LaBeLLe @rollingjoe.bsky.social · 9d

This is so true, #Republicans don’t understand civics and often vote against their own interests. Then they blame the #Democrats for anything that goes wrong, even when Republicans control all branches of government. They still protest and blame the Democrats. They’ll vote for a convicted felon.

#Democrats should invest more in podcasts and social media because we have more intelligent and capable people. We need more people to get involved. We have our own billionaire donors, millionaires, and other individuals who can make donations. If we don’t, we risk losing the youth vote and others.

Joe LaBeLLe @rollingjoe.bsky.social · 9d

Democrats, we don’t want to do that, but I understand what you’re saying. Hopefully, our justice system will hold him accountable.

Joe LaBeLLe @rollingjoe.bsky.social · 10d

Everyone should be held accountable for all the civil rights violations.
