Sad, but true. I feel like we’re living through an alternate timeline most days. 😖

Oh my goodness this is exactly correct. I read it twice before I realized it was humorous, not serious.

We knew that he had that potential, we just thought our fellow countryman were smart enough to know the difference between a serial liar, criminal & fascist over a career politician, gentlemen, and patriot . Sadly, something went wrong, terribly wrong and now we’re stuck with him.

100% truth. It has been proven time and time again that election fraud is a non-issue,(especially in a state like California.) It’s time to shout out the truth and silence the lies in order to preserve fair elections for all. This administration is trying to silence all dissenting voices.

100% truth. Our elections are absolutely fair and legitimate. It has been proven time and time again. That election fraud is simply a non-issue, (especially in California.) it’s time to stand up to the lies and trumpet the truth. Enough is enough.

“Election officials take great care to ensure that, at every step, voters are safe and ballots are secure,” @gowriramachandran.bsky.social writes in @calmatters.org ahead of California’s special election this fall.

Californians should ignore the federal government's false claims about our elections

Californians can count on their elections. That hasn't changed. What has changed is the volume of false claims from the federal government.

It’s sobering that comedians like John Stewart, Steven Colbert and John Oliver are revealing truth and traditional news outlets are biased, entertainment outlets to distract Americans. Independent journalists, foreign news and comedians are the only trustworthy sources available to many Americans.

Oh how I love my Los Angeles Dodgers! But last night‘s game gave me immense anxiety. Sheesh, that was a nailbiter in the end.

Absolutely mind blowing to be a Dodger fan right now. The anxiety I had when we started to falter in our pitching was immense. Thank goodness, we made it through in the end last night. 😉

Me too 😉

A poignant reminder about fear and power…

We truly have a moral obligation to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable. Is time to hold the false profits responsible for the hurt they’ve caused to the weakest among us. Our humanity must be the guide that drives us towards ensuring compassion and humane treatment for all.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 5d

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

This is terrifying. They’re completely out of control. There must be some way that our democratic leaders can fight back. This has gone off the rails. Fascism in full force. No one is safe under this regime.

lol!

She was a brilliant, inspiring, and brave trailblazer. Her legacy of advocacy for primates, women, the environment coupled with a deep compassion towards others, will be embraced for generations to come.

I hope and pray my children and grandchildren are “leftists.” Compassion, kindness, empathy and faith in science, are values that exemplify our shared humanity.

This feels like an authentic conversation about how to save the “American Dream” realistically. Steve Burns with Rep. Ro Khanna makes a compelling argument for change. It definitely feels like this current trajectory is unsustainable.
