No DMS! Dem surrounded by MAGA but still hopeful for a just and fair system.
I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.
We could have had everything in America. We destroyed ourselves due to racism and greed. It's so painful and pitiful.
Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years. Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

On This Day President Barack Obama Appreciation Day It fills me with HOPE For Better Days Ahead It fills me with memories of working on his campaign Remembering that day where I was lucky enough to be in the same room Where he said to us "YES WE CAN " "Yes we can heal this nation "
Last night was simply too much 'suspense'. (Trying to be calm about the probability of a repeat.)
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan.bsky.social · 4mo agoJust wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽♂️
Loved the 60's version but this one almost seems more pertinent!
The Marsh Family@marshfamilysongs.bsky.social · 5mo agoHere's our 🎶 parody version of Barry McGuire's 1965 "Eve of Destruction" that we've modernised to turn to current US adventurism. We're calling it: "Grief and Destruction" 🚀 youtu.be/QLBjeM53iBI
I give up. If you voted for and STILL support this admin, if you need to continue telling me how old and incompetent Biden was, and refuse to discuss facts, we have nothing to say. Might as well talk with a child.
Another great song!
The Marsh Family@marshfamilysongs.bsky.social · 6mo agoWe hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️ youtu.be/BRHxXHZmVAM
Thankful for the decency and integrity of one of our best Presidents ever.
Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Huge happy 80th birthday this week to the legendary #DollyParton 🎉- we are marking it with a parody of her 2nd number 1 hit, written by the #BeeGees. Our 🎶 version's called "Donald's Sewage Stream" - since he brought his sick drivel to #Europe #Davos #NATO & our #armedforces: youtu.be/F4nefIN4_LY

Have been following the Marsh Family for a bit. Particularly like this song.
The Marsh Family@marshfamilysongs.bsky.social · 7mo ago"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century. youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0
"Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough." ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt Be kind! ❤️ #art #nature #landscape #photo #photography #bluesky
When I hear an asinine reply from this administration, primarily directed toward a woman, my blood pressure rises. Missing civility and intelligence.
I think the scams at issue are phone and email scams, phishing, identity theft etc. Most people I know are actually quite familiar with those, worry about them and wish government would do more to stop them. A promise to do something about that sort of scam might resonate with voters.
Cannot believe some Dems will vote with Reps. Wondering who caved. Hopefully future holds more progressive and younger Dems.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."
