Thank you new followers! RIGHT NOW the most important issue is fighting the incoming fascist regime of the Orange Felon. I follow all resistors, if you have no bio, no posts, and/or you're here for any other reason, I won't follow you (yet), maybe after we save Democracy. Thanks for understanding!

Agreed, fully. I doubt the cultists will *turn* on him if he winds up with the top job, but they're unlikely to be supportive, which increases the odds of us actually having a 2028 election.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

“Trump wants to scare people away from exercising their constitutional rights. We won’t let him succeed. Don’t let this smear distract you. The best response to attacks on our rights is to exercise our rights. That means showing up in huge numbers on October 18.”

I was going to ask, "Is there any other way to watch it?"...then I remembered...those funny buildings with the giant screens we used to all crowd together in with our feet stuck to the floor in god knows what. I haven't been in one in years. At home & stoned sounds so much better. 🍿

Benny has been working for the Kremlin for a long time, regardless of whatever means they're using to compensate him for.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 1d

They say Benny Johnson—the fake-journalist face of the Trump administration—is no longer taking cash from the war criminals at the Kremlin via an intermediary as he previously was found to have done, but am I the only one who still has some nagging doubts? Certainly no background check has been done

A very brave woman and a great role model. We ALL must take inspiration from the brave people who resisted the Nazis in these countless ways, I have no doubt they helped defeat them almost as much as the world's militaries did.

I love this plan so much (tactical dysentery)!! 🤢

Mad (in memorium) props to your Oma 👊, a pride-worthy moment indeed. 💙

Well, one tiny grain of hope in that plan, if it is their plan, is that the gov't of Argentina is unpopular with its people, so they may not find it as safe of a haven as they expect. I'm no longer young, but I'll fight to my last breath to see them held accountable and imprisoned.

🔥💙 Yes! They are absolutely underestimating us!

Trisha Miller @trishamiller.bsky.social · 1d

No doubt the recent bailout of Argentina will help them if they need to put the same plan into action again, nearly all of their moves are from the same playbook (Hitler's). It's beyond sad that half of America is now so poorly educated that they can't see this. 😖

I truly hope & pray that you're right, that they'll flee the country....I don't think Vance is smart (far from it) but he's smarter than the 🍊🤡 & my fear is that Theil won't let go of his chance to control the government (via Palantir).

Trisha Miller @trishamiller.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, a very scary thought. Where the Felon is motivated purely by the appearance of power/strength and whatever fattens his personal piggybank, Couchf*cker will do whatever the oligarchy asks of him. He's even more of a puppet and fully under the thumb of Thiel.

This makes me both happy and petrified. Happy that he's got at least one foot (& maybe half the other) already in the grave, petrified that it will mean Vance moves up. I know many in the cult won't embrace the couchf*cker, but in some ways, he's worse than the Felon. 😖

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
