Media, music, and democracy junkie. Usually musically love loud guitars, three chords and a cloud of dust. Also, cheese (except for Swiss)

I never understand why no one on Bluesky ever tags the media outlets mentioned in commentary, like @cbsnews.com and @facethenation.bsky.social

Legitimately curious.

This will really impact older red state voters - but the GOP wants them to die (that's not hyperbole, juat a fact).

And before the inevitable "Trump doesn't follow the law!" or whatever, the regime has lost over 300 court cases and ultimately has followed rulings. Sure its fucked up it got to that point, but the ONLY reason we're in this mess is b/c not enuf people voted for Harris.

I believe others have said the same, but a POTUS cant do that. Only USPS Board of Governors can. The BOGncluded several members appointed by Trump 1, it maintained a majority that supported DeJoy or at least wasn’t willing to remove him. Even as critics pushed for his ouster, the board did not act.

That won't work for millions of primarily older folks, especially in rural communities.

Anyone who believes Trump and Putin on anything are either suffering from record-level stupidity or are outright lying.

It should go without saying, but this kind of effort needs to be done everywhere, especially in those gerrymandered districts. Gotta make those "dummymandered" and beat back fascism.
