“Kirk believed in subsidiarity: that power should stay as close to the people as possible. Not be handed to an executive with a whiteboard, a war room, and a mission to rescue your kid from a suspiciously empathetic math problem.” tinyurl.com/4ktxvnnx

A president who fires the people tasked with reporting how the country is doing isn’t just avoiding criticism. They’re undermining the foundation of democracy itself. An informed electorate is the backbone of the democratic system.

Russell Kirk Wasn't the Culture Czar You're Looking For
Quoting Kirk to justify state-run virtue training is like quoting C.S. Lewis while building your own Ministry of Truth. It’s not conserving tradition, it’s embalming it and parading it around like it’s still breathing.

Welp. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

How long until we see Disney change its language? I guess at least it didn't comply in advance...🙄

I will not have my tax dollars pay for this.

I will not have my tax dollars pay for fascism.

We need to make more noise

Wednesday at 7pm EDT, @alanaevans.bsky.social will be chatting on X Spaces!

A bill introduced to define “obscenity,” potentially removing 1st amendment rights, Nala Ray’s simpering at Charlie Kirk, HB 2112 in Arizona, what APAG is doing. Join the convo! @fsc.bsky.social @mikestabile.bsky.social

So MAGA is raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for a woman because she said a racial slur?

Fuck it. Burn it all down.

Dear ICE Agents:
When your parents told you that you could be anything you want when you grow up, they didn’t mean masked kidnappers.

I remember when Republicans used to lecture Democrats about how they needed to stop expecting the federal government to fix all their problems… and Republicans were right about that.

Then Republicans chose a president who ran on nothing but promises to fix all their problems.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

April 19th Nationwide We Rally once again , fighting for our Democracy, Upholding our Constitution & Bringing back POWER TO THE PEOPLE. We will not let this treasonous, authoritarian Rule be allowed within OUR COUNTRY. We will not let this pass , because WE ARE NOT A MOMENT, WE ARE A MOVEMENT. ✊🏼🇺🇸✨️

They’re in such a cult bubble that they can’t understand why so many free-thinking people voluntarily give of their time to oppose him.

Ready for the United States electorate to get over this populism fetish. Get hot for guardrails, not sledgehammers. If a politician stood up and said, “I’ll ask Congress to pass legislation putting more limits on executive power,” I’d canvass for them until my shoes filled with blood.

The most pressing question in my mind is whether any of the BothSiders learned their lesson in 2024

Nah. I’m alone and it’s all good. But the fart threat in response has me dying 🤣🤣🤣

I’m no economist but I’m pretty certain this roller coaster is very far from over.

And I sure would like to get off of it.

So the stock market is hemorrhaging and the bond market has gone into convulsions.

Republicans in Congress are just hemming and hawing instead of wheeling out the crash cart…

My degree isn’t in economics, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t great.
