I can't with this 'Dear Leader' bullshit.

Why do Jared and Ivanks always look like they can be unplugged and put away in between being trotted out for ceremonial occasions?

Oh, fuck right off, maga Mike.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

A Rethuglican with no self-awareness?

Sounds about right.

Uh-oh....does this mean Cheetolini declares war on Norway for snubbing him? 😏

Legacy media is complicit in this country becoming authoritarian.

It's about damn time you (and most other Dems) came out swinging. Well done on this!

Keep it up, don't let it be a one-off.

Thomm53 @thomm53.bsky.social · 4d

Halle-freakin-lujah!

Please tell me this is a sign the Dems are FINALLY getting their messaging on point.

I agree. But time to snap out of it. The point of no return is here.

I wish I could say I disagree, but......

Not giving the regime any credit...for anything good. The problem isn't that a majority want autocracy....there's just too many people who think it doesn't matter, or that don't have the will to resist it.

Thomm53 @thomm53.bsky.social · 4d

Oh my. Sec'y Kegsbreath will not be pleased.

Showing up on election day would be a good start. Many millions can't be bothered.

Attend peaceful rallies, general strikes and boycotts, making our voices heard to our elected officials AND the media, donate to candidates and organizations that are resisting....SOMETHING other than nothing.

If only Americans had the capacity that people in other countries have for national strikes. Money talks, they work. I envy the American activism of the 1960s.

Thank you! #resist

A major factor. Legacy media is an utter FAILURE.

Thomm53 @thomm53.bsky.social · 4d

No premature obituaries please. Unhelpful to say the least...as frustrating as it is.

Thomm53 @thomm53.bsky.social · 4d

Legacy media continues to be USELESS.

Thomm53 @thomm53.bsky.social · 4d

Yes, I'm not at all confident there will be a midterm election in 2026...if we do nothing. My biggest problem with Dem leadership is that not enough of them are fighting hard enough...and their messaging still sucks (with exceptions).

What? No...that's what we need to avoid by taking lawful action instead of shrugging it off.
