Federal workers are now literally Trump's hostages.

Why does this remind me of movies where bank robbers in a standoff with the police threaten to execute hostages if their demands aren't met?

I never realized how quickly the dominoes would fall once companies started tipping toward oblivion.

One day this will be over, because Fascism is self-defeating. I'll never forget the businesses and companies that caved and acted against our freedom.

I'll remember even more those that resisted.

Real question:

Do American corporations like ABC actually realize how upset much of their viewership is getting as they constantly capitulate and bow to Fascist pressure?

Do they care?

I'm deeply curious: How many of us are sick of participating in our social structure the way it's operating?

... It doesn't have to be this way, and our collective decisions can change everything. Perhaps some will be brave and lead the way.

Everything is possible.

How close or likely is California to split off and become its own country at this point, as it faces targeted oppression from the US Government against the will of The People?

Or might we see a Newsom presidency in the near future?

Nothing shows the world an "empire in decline" quite like a squeaky tank parade led by a delusional, incompetent leader counting empty seats as a standing ovation.

It's like the wannabe emperor showed up with no clothes.

Meanwhile, 12 million people show up literally everywhere to protest him.

A MAGA extremist assassinated Minnesota lawmakers last night.

Governor Walz insisted everyone stay home and not protest, as the assassin is still on the loose and credibly may have intended to harm protesters.

Organizers cancelled.

Tens upon tens of thousands of Minnesotans showed up anyway.

Did you get through to the final page? It kept letting me through the first two forms and going back to the beginning even in Chrome.

Has my representative, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, gone dark? I try to contact him via online forms, but it sends me into endless loops which never produce a real contact page.

BlueSky'ers: Can you test and report back? I'm trying to ask him to stop Trump's Fascist invasion & tried Chrome and Firefox.

The same people who manipulated themselves into power want to take everything from us.

They want to steal our autonomy. Our freedom. Our resources. Our society. Our culture.

They would enslave us to the way they think, and enforce the way they think we should live: serving them.

I refuse.

Indeed. The Handmaid's Tale once seemed like a theoretical, frightening possibility at a distance. Now? . . . Yeah, prophetic.
