Just a reminder that banning TikTok was Trump’s idea in the first place, TikTok went dark voluntarily before the ban was even set to go into effect, and Trump is not actually President yet and thus does not currently have the power to either enforce or suspend the ban.

Say it with me slowly… “Corporations should not be allowed to donate to political campaigns“.

We should be a government of the people for the people… instead we are a government of corporations for corporations.

Some of my most recent wood turnings. Starting to get the hang of it! I’d love some feedback especially if you have a good resource for shape ideas and how to create balanced shapes.

Just made my calls for the day! Called Blackburn and Hagerty’s offices to demand they do their constitutional duty and hold proper confirmation hearings for Trump’s Cabinet appointments. Took less than a minute for both. Make your voice heard!

Any cabinet nominations or appointments should be fully vetted by the FBI. If average Americans have background check to get employment so should they.

I really liked the first half of that headline…
Kentucky Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell announced Thursday he’ll become chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee and the Rules Committee when the new Congress convenes in January.

Wait… a full FBI background check isn’t a requirement to serve in the highest offices in the land?? Put everyone through the background check! I had a background check when starting ANY job.

I’d be in favor of a liberal echo chamber… obviously it would be more informed and based on research and not fear.
One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Republican talking points are NEVER the real concern. It’s what they are using to keep people looking at their neighbors as the problem instead of the elite!
The point is: Of course there is waste and fraud in the federal government. And sure, go cut some.

But when you’re also lowering taxes on corporations and the rich, and you refuse to cut the bloated military budget, it undercuts the notion “debt” is the real concern. #DOGE

Billionaires can only get that much wealth by taking advantage of people. Billionaires don’t care about people, period.

Are you surprised that the Trump is nominating billionaires for his cabinet?

I’m not.

The White House comment hotline is open Tuesday - Thursday 11a-3p ET! Call 202-456-1111 and wait for them to pick up and say, “I’d like the president to urge the archivist to publish the Equal Rights Amendment to the constitution.” Takes just a few minutes and it will create lasting positive impact!
