I got locked out of X for posting this response to MAGA comments: “The Republicans are stealing from you.” Or “He’s stealing from you” when the comment is about Trump. Just a suggestion. Student of languages, master of none. Rogue gardener. Black&Native.

It seems as time rolls on, it turns out that wealth is our greatest enemy.

If the Speaker is unavailable.
Don’t you think Democrats would have used an alternative if one were available?? Come on people.

Do you want it to be legal?

Biden was not unpopular with Democrats. You and your Republican guests are slick agents of distortion. When will you invite a Democrat other than Democrat-hating Claire McCaskill to lend some balance to your never Trumper perspective.

I’m done with this now.

Comma misuse is making this hard to read.

How is that an implosion. We need real restraint of these people. Not just talk.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 8h

Who’s going to do all that work when Republicans are the only ones who can do it???

Black people have lived like this before. We have personal stories from our parents and grandparents — in addition to the history that most people know. Look who Trump is attacking. And where. And yet there’s no public discussion except from Eddie Glaude.

I think most people on this app care. It’s a good place (which is probably why it’s being attacked now).

I feel like we need another cultural awakening. Don’t know how we get that done when all our cultural outlets, except for the Superbowl and Jimmy Fallon, are owned by right wing billionaires.

Until people are willing to recognize that RACISM and BIGOTRY are the powerful levers being wielded to upend our progress, all we’ll have is more of the disingenuous intellectual talk that gets us nowhere.

People of color aren’t laughing.

Well don’t wish that! We need more people like you, not fewer!

People are too comfortable. Tech has made life so easy and convenient — and so isolating — people have fallen out of touch with paying attention. Have fallen out of touch with being friendly and caring. We need more connections.

Thank you. Very important perspective.

The wealthy don’t need those tax cuts.
They have more than they can ever spend.
This is VANITY greed.
A sickness we have indulged for far too long.

Junior needs decades of therapy.
He’s a victim, too.

She’s acting like she’s on a tv drama.
Unserious, insubstantial, playing for the camera as if her service is an episode of Law & Order.

It’s embarrassing, and proves how unfit she is for her position. She will realize this some day.

We’ve learned a lot about human nature from Trump. Things we are not glad to know.

And yet, too many people believe him.
People with red hats on their heads.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 1d

That has to be some kind of violation.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 1d

Wonderful.
We have traitors running the country.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 1d

Some other unserious incompetent would have been appointed.

These must be the same criminals who attacked police at the Capitol on January 6th.
