If the oligarchs hadn’t captured then handed over the media, these lies would be debunked , instead they are entertained as if they are truth.

I bet Trump killed at least one of those children. There is probably a video.

If the makers of Tylenol would just send trump the protection money, this would all go away. Tylenol would instantly be “great, the best drug ever, I heard it cured impotence”

Step one was capturing the media. Trump could not get away with his exaggerations if we still had free press who would show the truth.

Obstructing the release of the Epstein files, and practicing for midterms when DEMs get enough seats to flip the house & senate

“Forgetting they're dead and remembering again every few minutes.” No one talks about this. I had no idea how often thoughts of my children flit through my head every day. It took years before I stoped feeling that shock and gut punch because for a split second, I didn’t remember she was dead.

Maybe Pritzker’s goal is trying to save his citizens, and he is willing to put himself in harms way to do so. Sometimes it’s not political triangulation, it’s doing what’s right

The cancer is the rampant, unchecked, pedophilia in the GOP, starting with Trump and going all the way down. they are either involved, or know about it and are protecting those involved. Everything they do is a distraction from the public getting the filthy receipts on their depravity.

Someone should ask for a doctor certified EKG from Miller. I'm half convinced Miller is an undead ghoul. There is nothing human behind those eyes.

Authoritarians don’t capitulate to their rich donors, they toss one or two of them out a window to force the others back on line.

Amber @onionamber.bsky.social · 4d

Everyone know we are at authoritarianism, even the republicans. They want to be here, we do not.

The question is, what are we willing to sacrifice to regain democracy?

Are we willing to throw our bodies at the cogs of tyranny, to stop its advance and claw back our freedoms?

Would we think this was as funny if the gender was reversed? A husband was demanding sex all the time? Women can have higher sex drives than men, and a big differential can break a marriage.

This is a guy I'd vote for president. Not Newsom

Not rising up to stop trump, has not stopped trump.

Someone needs to check the backyards of every home Miller has lived - there are definitely buried bodies.

she is a vile capitalist / con artist.... but some of the smartest people she is replacing, are the ones that spent years normalizing people like her. so....

Amber @onionamber.bsky.social · 7d

trump was right about one thing. the DEMs have no leadership, no message...

"Why didn't they just leave before? It was 1944."

That was a question my students asked early on as we read Elie Wiesel's Night.

And it's a question I ask myself as I watch these Stephen Miller clips, knowing he's as much the president, at least, as Trump is.

Let’s invite the generals and let show them our appreciation of they adherence to the constitution and remind them they are charged to protect the constitution from enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC

Sniveling cowards always strut and posture when they have an army of thugs to do the dirty work. Catch them alone, one on one, and they run away screaming like the bitch they are.
