' we the people' seems a good place to start

And when the Democrats return to power...I hope they persue all these people...who broke the jaw, or were accessories to breaking the law

So..close down all military training centres, army bases in any democratic state..decertify their sanitary, their safety clauses etc, shut down utilities. anything , literally anything to shut the units down to prevent National Guard troops from being stationed in Demo states, regions, towns etc.

I guess I haven't clearly articulated this in writing, but friends do not let friends without substantive IT work experience and/or a credible IT degree take cybersecurity career bootcamps in 2025.

They are up to no good. Shenanigans. Malfeasance. They are not a safe way to get a job.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Actually this is exactly what you voted for and enabled, but better late than never to the opposition I guess.

A screenshot of an X.com post by @RollingStone
, Rolling Stone, posted 13 hours ago, stating, "I voted for none of this. Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House," with a link to a story on rollingstone.com/politics/politics. The post includes a "REWIND" section with a headline "MANOSPHERE INFLUENCERS WHO BOOSTED TRUMP ARE NOW COOLING ON HIM" by Nikki McCann Ramirez, dated October 6, 2025, and a photo of Theo Von making a peace sign at an event in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 9, 2025.

A British academic is tracking the Dictator in the WH’s authoritarian acts since taking office in Jan.

It tracks illegalities, unconst’l acts, abuses of power - anything undermining democracy & propping up authoritarianism.

Tally is at 1466 authoritarian acts.

No corruption here, folks! Totally normal stuff the deputy director of the CIA(Michael Ellis) just demoted the acting general counsel and decided to make himself the top lawyer while still being the No. 2 in charge.

Evidently there are now 38 and a half million BlueSky users

What I like about that figure...

It appears (am I wrong?) that none of them are supporters of traitor tRump
How cool is that?

I agree...and if asked, probably most of the world populations agree too

except the usual subjects - Russia, North Korea, Belarus, Hungary..and half of Turkey, oh and unfortunately probably Czech and Slovakia

(China doesn't count..they are against anything that isn't Chinese)
