We are not only on our own, we are being robbed.

We MUST actively practice civic engagement and disobedience.

We MUST not run from being vocal about what we all see with our own eyes.

Whether it's a rally or just at the check out, gesture freely for people to tell you how THEY are doing.

It's such an F'n scam. They announced a prelim agreement if step 1 of 20? Do I have that right?

It's like his healthcare plan. 2 weeks..... we will have peace in 2 weeks.

I will happily be wrong but when a chimp psycho is looking to be admired, he will keep up the okie doke.

Well ICE or CBP called 911 for help at Broadview and when they showed up the Chicago PD was gassed.

I'm personally in the ACAB bucket. This would be a great time to reset our values as a country. I'm afraid one side is doing just that. It's not the side of human rights however.

Of course we should seek and celebrate peace.

But I can't help but feel like a war lord culture in the Middle East is being rebranded and hinges on the US keeping the bombs coming- for more than Isreal now.

Peace would be great. But it feels like there are many strings attached to a lot of it.

Barb @sarcasticallycalm.bsky.social · 16h

I agree with your demand for more. Sincerely asking- what can we do?

I heard Pritzker is pissed the National governor assoc isnt supporting him.

We all need to clog the streets. I think we need to get out of this with those already elected. Be loud and drag your rep. But be loud and resist.

Dems should challenge trump to a duel! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I choose tammy duckwork for the dem

The conversation about healthcare MUST include reforms.

Don't just post how much premiums are going up.

Haul insurance companies in front of Congress and ask why they need to quadruple their premiums Greed is not an acceptable answer.

All while his psycho mind is being influenced psycho minds and going to war with his domestic enemies (largely chosen by his sycophants).

The clown is juggling many chain saws.

Next person to call in front of oversight is Stephen Miller.

Then Vought.

Make the clowns perform.

Barb @sarcasticallycalm.bsky.social · 1d

My feeling is trump has his own government run on the back burner by Vought and Miller while he is off trying to "earn" a Nobel Peace Prize.

He is deluded and convincing himself he's ending wars and "very close" to peace in the Middle East. He's being played and we are all suffering.

I can barely type English as a first language.

I'm trying to learn another language. I have trouble figuring out which article to use. The dog could be either he or she and how would I know what "gender" a sheet is? And duo lingo shames me too much. 😕 🤣🤣

ICE IS the insurrection.

And today Bondi's display should stick a pin in any delusion of this not being very very very bad.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

The real terrorists. Also probably some are pardoned felons.

Charlie Kirk had a wife and children. So does Kim Jong Un. So did Nixon
So did Joseph Stalin. So did Jim Jones and David Koresh. So?

NannyGoat7-11 @nannygoat7-11.bsky.social · 1d

Charlie Kirk was racist and he wanted more guns on the streets. Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist.

just wow.... cubans as cannon fodder IN WINTER... the world is spinning out of control. This feels very much like a humanity problem with a large portion of some societies.

Democrats are very bad a prebuttal.

Barb @sarcasticallycalm.bsky.social · 1d

I totally agree.

Enough deer in the headlights BS.

This is it....

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 1d

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Barb @sarcasticallycalm.bsky.social · 1d

His fear about them is what is driving his strongman, slash and burn quest.

He is a psychopath imo. All of this insanity is a bunch of people in power really having issues and not dealing with them appropriately.

Barb @sarcasticallycalm.bsky.social · 1d

I wanted to smack her for you.

I honestly dont know how you make progress. I was so stunned by her (projection) canned personal attacks and filibustering, I couldnt think rationally.

Barb @sarcasticallycalm.bsky.social · 1d

I was hopefully back in the day. Foghorn Leghorn Kennedy is playing good cop in the okie doke. It's ALL a show.

ALL of it. NONE of them want justice. If they did they would have left like Flake and Corker.

Barb @sarcasticallycalm.bsky.social · 1d

Well he literally said today he's not going to pay "some people" and will take care of "his" people.

Musk stole all the data, many states turned over voting data....they know who "their people" are.

At the hearing a ? was asked about a comp fund for pardoned Jan 6rs for christ's sake. This is bad

Barb @sarcasticallycalm.bsky.social · 1d

For all you govt workers who think trump wont stiff you for back pay after the shut down........

talk to NY and FL contractors he's stiffed after working for him.

This is equally mind boggling and infuriating.

Barb @sarcasticallycalm.bsky.social · 1d

She knows the only way to survive is to be a ding bat attack dog. The more disrespectful she is the more orange dust falls upon her.

This country is a fraud.
