Benjamin Franklin used the pseudonym “Silence Dogood” as a young printer’s apprentice. He wrote social commentary anonymously in his brother’s newspaper. He was fired. And then he became an American patriot and inventor extraordinaire.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 3h
The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?”

Imagine that.

Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.”

But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.

I think that Jimmie Dale's version is better than that of Hank Williams. There aren't many songs of which I think a cover is better than the original, but this is one. Jimmie Dale's mournful, plaintive voice meshes perfectly with the song's sad subject.

MTG spent the past week discussing how healthcare is expensive. But in 2023, with a GOP Congress, she opposed a GOP-sponsored bill to help control health care costs. It passed Congress in a bipartisan fashion.

Everyone knows what Marjorie says. Few know exactly what she's done. Vote For Shawn!
