Great analogy
The best metaphor is of two parents competing for the affection of a child and one does the right thing for the child's health, the other lies to the child, lets them eat like sht, doesn't make them attend school, or do anything the kid doesn't want to do.

#GoodMorning, BlueSky friends. As we navigate the next few days, remember to prioritize your mental health.
Take time to rest, refresh, & renew—it's essential. Stay grounded in the mission. Don't let the news dissuade you. When ready, come back & continue the work- we'll do it together.

Over the past four years, Joe Biden has championed progress, rebuilding alliances, strengthening the economy, advancing climate initiatives, and prioritizing the needs of working families. In contrast, the next four years under a Trump or Elon Musk-led administration will tragically do the opposite.

Which is the stronger emotion? Fear won. Germany was faced with the same dilemma. Enjoy this day while you can. Happy Holiday.
I still can't believe that insulting people was a better message than real policies.
I wish everyone who resists a very Merry Christmas, let's enjoy and relax.

Nuremberg Trials, November 21, 1945.
The parallelism between Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump is frightening. In 1923, Adolf Hitler led a failed coup. He was treated leniently. Germany moved on. A decade later, he was elected, and the atrocities of the world ensued. We must not move on.

If you’re not worried, you’re not paying attention. I believe Trump is the beginning of the end of the ‘American experiment’.

Is this verifiable? If it is true, it never seems to amaze me just how pathetic this man is. What did Greenland do?
Turns out Trump owes millions to the Panamanian government for lying about his taxes. Reliable sources report Trump for decades under reported the number of employees at his hotel to avoid paying the 12.5% social security payments.

Our system of government is now beyond dysfunctional, compromised by foreign influence, systematic ignorance and native greed & psychopathy.
IMO we need to create a better system, independent of the existing one, & prepare for it take over all government functions when the current one finally fails.

Abolish the Electoral College.
Every single American citizen vote should be tallied, and that total should be used to certify any election.
The gerrymandering of red and swing states was a factor in the election results, also.
Count every vote.
