Let us take the example of the Nuremberg trials to heart, and prosecute Republican leaders and policy makers for their crimes against humanity. As they seek to oppress and destroy our Democratic Republic, as they seek to dismantle our rights and freedom, let them sweat in front of the firing squad.
@catladybox.bsky.social Need. More. Art cards. WhyYouStop?
It's Republicans who refused to even BEGIN the process of negotiating a new fiscal year's budget. And now, AGAIN, they're trying to blame THEIR OWN crimes, failures, and LIES on the Democrats! VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!! 3/3
OUR insurance premiums. Republicans are trying to steal OUR health care FROM US. Immigrants, legal or otherwise, are a dog whistle issue - a red herring, a distraction! It's the Republicans, as the majority holders, who should have had a budget ready - THEY DIDN'T! 2/3
What an absolute shit-show xenophobic lie-filled press briefing at the White House this morning. "free health care for immigrants" ??? First, ALL HUMANS have a right to healthcare. I know anyone who sees someone else suffering is going to want to help. Second, this is about OUR health care. 1/3
The July #catlady box didn’t have an art card in it. So many blank spots, so little time…. Looking forward to the August box!!
Spring has definitely sprung

Tariffs put the cost of buying goods up. Retaliatory tariffs make it harder for companies to export. Those companies then cut jobs. Inflation and unemployment go up. We buy less. Recession hits. Well done Trump. 🤑
Greg Palast has a great investigation on the voter suppression facet of the steal: youtu.be/0LN65qFUDDo?...

and there was a nonpartisan volunteer group that's analyzing the vote results mail-in/early vs election day and finding some very suspicious statistics, but I have to find that link.
But how many more times does he have to say 'then they rigged the election, and that was a good thing, because now I get to be your president' before we get some legal action going against this con man?
"then they rigged the election" (rally speech)

"then they rigged the election" (oval office press conference) - good discussion.

the Republicans. I expect the Democrats, as a group, will fold. They still seem to be looking for their spines.
Called Senator Wyden's office. The only thing answering his line is a voicemail box. Told him to stand firm on the CR and resist the Republicans' agenda. Called Senator Merkley's office - and got a person! Nate sounded a little harried but was polite and took a message: again, no CR; resist

Holy shit. The United States was not invited to the NATO summit on Ukraine in Paris on March 11.

There’s no other meaning:

The United States was just benched for colluding with the enemy.
Because being polite, waving cute little signs as you sit silently in the galleries, observing decorum, BEING NICE - these things DON'T FIX IT.

Be Al Green. Speak truth to power. And do it LOUDLY.

He's prospering, and he's going to get away with it. Unless WE THE PEOPLE rise up. Get disorderly. Shout. Block the roads. March across the bridges. RIDE IN THE FRONT OF THE GORRAM BUS

The establishment created the problem; they're not going to fix it. Time to rise up.
Soooo.... how do we connect to geophysically local uh,... locals? I used to be a member of a community group that was specific to the city I lived in. Do we have a method of making that connection here on Bluesky? #blueskysupport #communitybuilding
