“I bet you see the Antifa types” - Speaker of the House Mike Johnson

21st century America: The government believes that if you are anti-fascist, you are an enemy of the State.

"And the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones," - Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss)

We have a problem, people.

That is awesome! I love it! Nice job. 😎👍

So sad the author ruined a good thing.

Bonner County commissioners voted to honor Charlie Kirk today. I asked if they’d honor MN Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, murdered June 14, 2025. Each refused. The proclamation is at 51:00, my comment at 1:20:30. They only care about certain violence.

The book, Copaganda by @equalityalec.bsky.social goes into detail about this type of deceptive reporting. Great book that shines a light on the practices used to shape false narratives.

That’s a solid blame. 😎👍

And multiple apps are asking me to log back in. WTF?

America has never before hosted a foreign military facility on American soil. This is one more step in the Trump administration toward selling out our nation and making us less safe.

I wish Antifa would offer their own internet service. I need something reliable and secure.

These other providers say they are secure, but are actually only secure against threats they don’t get paid for.

My phone is acting really weird today. It didn’t update last night, so that can’t be the reason.

My phone required me to put in my password for my Apple account.

Several of my apps are asking me to update preferences or approve access.

Some apps couldn’t connect to devices until I rebooted them.

I support this message.

Jim Leighty @jdleighty.bsky.social · 5d

I think you just learned something.

“You just accuse me of not being part of something. You’ve got no idea what my life is”

Go back and look how you started this conversation now. It took us a bit to get there, but that is what I was trying to show you.

Don’t assume people are doing things.

Jim Leighty @jdleighty.bsky.social · 5d

You should find an organization in your city and work with them. I think it would be helpful.

I don’t know if you are purposely being obtuse or not, but I think we’ve played this conversation out.

Jim Leighty @jdleighty.bsky.social · 5d

Seriously, what the heck is your deal? Have you ever worked with any activist organizations or are you new to all this?

No one is depending on a single point solution. Are you against protests as well? I feel like you haven’t worked with any groups before to make a change.

Jim Leighty @jdleighty.bsky.social · 5d

WTF??? It’s already established in the Constitution! But we need a judge to tell ICE to stop attacking journalists?

Here is the problem; too many people are fatalistic or just want to be edge lords and shoot down everything that is tried. I’ve seen over and over again where it has been claimed nothing was done because the people didn’t speak up. Just like these people that think their vote doesn’t count.

Jim Leighty @jdleighty.bsky.social · 5d

Nope. Just adding to the conversation.

If you don’t wanna see more brownshirts ripping children from their mothers arms, you may want to rethink selling any property to fucking ICEstapo members.

They’re doing the same in Spokane, Washington.

Exactly. So what are you doing about it. Original you assumed I wasn’t doing anything because I called on our political leaders to take action. Since you claim to not be waiting, what are you doing to fight this fascist administration?

Jim Leighty @jdleighty.bsky.social · 5d

Oh, then what are you doing?

It sure seems like it. At least I can say I chose the correct side. Too bad. Reddit used to be awesome for dealing fairly with different views.

Jim Leighty @jdleighty.bsky.social · 5d

It was in r/Law. The post was a video of ICE breaking the windows of a care and abducting two women that pulled up to a school to pick up their kids.

Reddit removed the entire post as well.
