If you've been on the couch since Jan 2025, now is really, really finally the time to wake up and get out there. The regime is literally trying to stop 1/3 of voting in November, illegally using the USPS to do it. In the streets. Now and every day.

Do you use or worse yet subscribe to ChatGPT? Here's some very important things you need to know about why you should stop doing that. If the #SurveillanceState & murd*rbots don't appeal to you, stop using this app!
"Driscoll’s departure, the journalists note, leaves the Army without any Senate-confirmed civilian or military leaders." WTF. Whiskey Peye has literally destroyed our military's ability to function as it will need to soon.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
Protest that endures, I think, is moved by a hope far more modest than that of public success: namely, the hope of preserving qualities in one's own heart and spirit that would be destroyed by acquiescence. Wendell Berry, What Are People For?
For those in the back, being in this country without a visa is not a criminal offense. It is a civil offense punishable by a fine and deportation back to your home country. What is happening is not legal, in any interpretation of the law. People better wake up & fight or they're next.
Stephanie@blooming-burbs.bsky.social · 3d agoLot of horrific details in this story like the ICE thugs drinking on the deportation flight. I want to start hearing very clear plans from political leaders about how they intend to pursue accountability. I also don't think 'rehab ICE' is a defensible position. prospect.org/2026/08/31/w...
A major issue the U.S. refuses to address is widespread media and functional illiteracy, making propaganda and disinformation easy to spread and manipulate public opinion. Corporations and politicians can even manufacture “grassroots” movements to undermine their competition.
Americans need to resist in any way they can before it's too late.
The Verge@theverge.com · 7d agoAmericans have declared war on Flock cameras. They’ve protested them, damaged them, and destroyed them. Flock camera destruction isn’t just popular — in some cases, it has also proven highly effective at getting rid of them. Read more from @janus.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/tech/985155/...
RIP Dolly. The world was a kinder place with you in it.
How many MAGAt voters know the Pedo now sells early access to his market-manipulating tweets? Are we great again yet?
Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social · last wk.This is stock market manipulation. Truth Social is now selling companies faster access to Trump’s posts, which can move markets in seconds. The company launched the service earlier this month, allowing paying firms to receive his posts more quickly than ordinary users.
This.
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan.bsky.social · 2w agoThe only meeting Hakeem Jeffries should be having with Jared Kushner is to tell him he’ll be subpoenaed by the House for a corruption investigation on day one of Democratic control of the House. This is just pathetic stuff from the House Dem leader. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u...
Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner met today to see what they have in common. It turns out to be only one thing: A stupefying fear of progressive Democrats accomplishing lots of things that will help people.
Seriously? Seriously. WTAF?!? People better be FLOODING Jeffries office with phone calls, letters and local office visits. There is no working with fascists. Unless you are one...or AIPAC owns you.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 2w agoYou don’t play nice with fascists. You ruthlessly undermine them before they do that to you.
It is possible for us to have nice things. All of us. It is our responsibility to elect leaders who want that for us too.

Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social · 2w agoEstonia, the UK and France are preparing for the Russian invasion of the Baltics—planning to hold the border with a complex system of trenches, forest traps, and armored brigades long enough for NATO reinforcements to arrive. Meanwhile, the US presence has been cut to roughly less than 100 troops.
Incredibly glad someone is talking about for-profit prisons. When I had a friend inside, he got too little food, forcing him to supplement from a commissary with money put into his account from folks outside. The prices were astronomical, bleeding funds from inmates' communities. It was appalling.
Morning Joe@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social · 2w agoFlorida State Rep. Angie Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, won the Senate nomination in Tuesday’s primary in a surprise victory over Lt. Col. Alex Vindman. On Morning Joe, she's asked about the DSA's agenda, including defunding police and abolishing prisons and the border.

For those of you who voted for Trump because you thought government was the problem, congratulations! It is now.
HCR's letter should be required reading for every American. I can't decide tho if our complacency at the demise of our republic is due to ignorance of what is happening on the daily or the majority of us just don't care enough to inconvenience ourselves. We don't have until midterms to stop this.
Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR)@hcrichardson.bsky.social · 3w agoAugust 13, 2026
Are we there yet? Are you willing to fight this regime or will you just wait for the midterms and hope for the best?
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 3w agoThe $25 MILLION ICE stun gloves are fucking diabolical. If you want to see how they’re supposed to work, watch this video. There’s no way this ends well. Now add this to the fact that DHS has already said body-cam footage will only be released when it’s “beneficial” to ICE.
This AND stop spending, especially with Amazon. These 💩birds only understand $$$.
CAKE@thebandcake.bsky.social · 3w agoThe congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
Worth the read...though we already know how depraved the current regime is.

THIS is the kind of speechifying I want to hear from Democrats. Tell it like it is. Then fix it. I hope TX does the right thing and sends this man to the Senate.
Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 4w agoJames Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.

Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 4w agoWe are now under the 3 month mark before the midterm elections. That’s not just a marker of how soon we can send Trump a message.
