Bluesky has been inundated with scammers. I've had three confirmed scammers and I'm certain there were more before I removed them and blocked all DMs. MAGA? Foreign? Boys who need real jobs? Who knows.

Here is just a reminder for those of us pure at heart who tend to let their guard down.

Very well said!

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

I am hoping they will run. But please read the entire convo (there's a lot) with my friend to gain context on what I was actually saying. Dems feel despair right now due to a lack of ONE unifying leader. It is hard for sitting Govs to be on scene daily to meet the demands of what our side is missing

You are right! I absolutely do consider them both amazing leaders. I sure hope no one ignores their bravery.

I just meant that they both have day jobs (leading & protecting their own states) that prevent them from a full time role on a national level.😉

⬆️Us, versus them⬇️

I think we know who the domestic terrorists are & these images confirms that our federal govt (and a number of states) has been hijacked by some of the most radical amongst them!⬇️

When the Nuremberg trials begin for the MAGA and ICE orcs it’s going to be very difficult to fill out the jury survey without writing in “I’m generally opposed to the death penalty but terrorists, especially domestic terrorists, deserve the maximum sentence possible.”

This is a full weaponization of our federal govt -the govt that Dem states pay way more $ into than Repub.

In 1,198 days, the potus, House, and Senate will flip and judgement day will be upon them. Accountability this time around. Only serious minded prez contenders need apply.

Oh, it's happening!

When referring to people who are anti-Trump, don't fall into the trap of calling them "Antifa."

That is a loaded, mangled word. Call them what they are, "anti-fascists."

I'm certain the video recorders filming the evidence room where the files were stored were turned off for a minute or so prior to the files' 'suicide".

Nothing weird going on there. No Trump "fingerprints" on any of this.🤔

What I'd like to know is, is Mike Johnson being blindly obedient or does he know something? If he knows something, what does he know and when did he learn it? Neither is a good look for him.

He's either in violation of the Constitution as an autocrat enabler, or in violation of the law as an accessory after the fact on a criminally mishandled pedophilia case. The entire thing reeks of entitled wealthy using their fortunes to cover up their very illegal, but entitled taste for middle schoolers.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

I sort of view Johnson as more dangerous. Trump doesn’t hide who he is. He’ll stab you in the front and watch you bleed to death.

But Johnson puts on the facade of the mild-mannered church deacon who accidentally finds himself legislating. He will knife you from the shadows and deny he had a knife.

ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson is second in line to the presidency, but he wants you to know he has no opinion on anything and takes responsibility for nothing. His go-to line is “not in my lane.”

Speaks volumes when this regime displays all the signs of fascism - then cracks down on folks who are proudly anti fascist, by labeling them terrorists.

Antifa is not an organization. It is any one person who holds the belief that fascism is anti American & must be defeated. I proudly stand with my grandfather who fought in WWII.

The biggest con job (and anti democratic ploy) on American viewers. Apparently the penalty of $787 mill is not enough. I think they need a few more $ billion settlements to feel the pain or relieve us of ours.

While we know it's theater, many of its faithful viewers believe it to be factual.

I would have settled for referring her for disbarment. But this form of accountability is way way better!😁.
