Former Fetterman Staffers@fettermanstaff.bsky.social · 2d agoHello, BlueSky. We’re a group of former campaign & Senate staffers for John Fetterman who are disgusted with what he's become. If you were troubled by yesterday's Wall Street Journal story... trust us, that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's even worse than you thought.
A message to Democratic leaders: Stop attacking your own candidates. It helps absolutely no one but Trump if you keep undermining progressive candidates. It’s precisely why you have consistently lost elections for 30 years or won by razor-thin margins. Signed, lifelong Dems who are sick of losing.
For those still confused about whether we should call what’s happening in the U.S. ‘fascism’: “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” — Benito Mussolini
This right here. My day 2 would include: -impeach Trump and Vance -make the speaker president (not Hakeem Jeffries, but AOC) -expand the court to 13 -give DC statehood and expand the Senate
THIS IS THE PARASITE CAUSING CASES OF EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA IN AMERICA ?
Interesting that the corporate media is all over certain Democrats for associating with a podcaster who said one controversial thing 10 years ago but not all over Republicans for associating with a podcaster who was trafficking children.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is watching this man lie repeatedly about the reasons he started the war, watching him lie repeatedly about winning the war, watching him post deranged attacks like this, and still thinking he’s ‘tHe GrEaTeSt PrEsIdEnT eVeR!’
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Thou shalt take down every monument he builds for himself. Thou shalt toss him and his entire family into the trashcan of history.
Weird how most of those newly revealed pentagon psyops accounts also downplayed the Epstein list. Probably just a coincidence
Why Google? #Google #GoogleMaps I WILL delete you from my life for this idiocy. Google left, Apple, right.
Child: It’s the mayor. Mamdani: *laughs* Child: What? You are the mayor. You could become the king. Mamdani: I’m happy as the mayor. Jalen Brunson is the king.
I feel like I’m living In a dystopian novel written in 1993 that was rejected by dozens of publishers because it was incredibly stupid.

If you are a Democrat and you’re not running on: 1) Impeach Trump 2) Impeach Vance 3) Make the Speaker President 4) Hire Jack Smith as AG to convict these criminals you are not getting my vote.
Yes, the slaughter of America's wild horses was a part of the Opus Dei directed Project 2025.

When America is gone, remember NYT headlines like this and never again ask what role corporate media played in normalizing the most dangerous man on Earth
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky ‘Bob The Gambler’: One of Melville’s best. ‘Swept Away’: Wertmuller is always fun, not my fave from her Visconti’s faithful adaptation of ‘The Stranger’ Melville’s last film. Bluer than Kieslowski’s ‘Blue’
