Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

How do they reach people that do not vote? For example, their poll tracks favorable or unfavorable but what about "don't care"?

Thakman📎 @thakman.bsky.social · 5h

That's the issue. Poll methodology is weighed to root out limitations from partisan polls. They ignore class. Poor people will not be responding to on-line polls or phone calls. It's biased toward the wealthy.

Elon spent $291M electing Trump.

In exchange, Trump is giving him billions in government contracts and allowed him to gut the federal agencies investigating and regulating his companies.

Bribery politicians is legal because the politicians accepting the bribes write the laws.

Trump's short term plan:

1. Close down Congress
2. War with Venezuela to seize the oil reserves
3. Send militias into the streets to control US citizens
4. Cancel 2026 mid-term elections.

The national polls are controlled by Wall Street executives. IMO they do not represent the people and lean toward the wealthy.

IMO most people feel like and are chess pawns. It usually takes defeating knights, bishops, castles, and queens before the King can be challenged. Take the small victories to heart. Eventually a pawn can become a Queen.

I'm re-posting myself bc sometimes I get the words right & they sometimes make a lot of sense. Some know me & my site full of citations & criticisms to the goings on. I have these sites for BOTH parties, btw-I plan ahead bc I know people.
My efforts are better than nothing so what are YOU doing? 🤨

deanna @scarsandhearts.bsky.social · 7h

I think people are doing their best right now. Everyone knows you can't rely on me to be around forever-I had 3 open hearts since 2022 a few before, several strokes & a need for another heart surgery. IF I CAN TRY, you FUCKING PEOPLE BETTER FUCKING LEARN TO GATHER YOUR BALLS wherever they're hiding!

The only mandate for an elected official is to serve the will of the people. Trump gas lit and lied to everyone about his agenda. What is happening now is not the will of the people, including MAGA

If the GOP is fixed on asserting that the eligibility requirements for POTUS in the Constitution don’t matter,

Cool!!

Who is in control of the government?

It’s the only question that matters.

In Chicago, a 76 year-old man had his ribs broken by ICE at a Halloween parade.

A photo of men presumably ice agents, in full military gear and weapons visible. Text is added that says “icicles all dressed up, but no war to go.”

Spiro Agnew had lots of excitement. JD should follow in his footsteps.

My boyfriend said his “hall pass” was Emily Blunt. I picked a guy who responds to texts with complete sentences and owns jumper cables.

I'll have to cross you off my list. Texts are for acronyms and emojis only, but jumper cables are a must have.

Very normal, Christian behavior for a grieving widow and a man married to an Indian Hindu American who publicly said he wants her to change her religion.
