@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social True.

But, don't think the 99% are so stupid as to believe you will bring that accountability.

You can't even be bothered to endorse the people's choice of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

So don't go thinking we'd trust you w/ something as big as accountability! 🤦‍♀️

Jeffries: "I remind all of these corrupt individuals, these sycophants -- the statute of limitations is five years. The American people want accountability, deserve accountability, and will get accountability."

Marge the Opportunist bringin' it to the Republicans.

I suspect she's a bellweather, and it won't be much longer until there's a "jail break."

Now, if state and local Republican officials would follow suit and abandon all the little Trumpet Facists who've taken over local government!

I have to quibble w/ this post... yes, they CAN call themselves "Christian," but they need to use the right moniker...

"Christo-Facist," or "Christo-Capitalist."

Everyone else gets to use the label "Christian," or "Christ-centeted Christian."

Force them to distinguish themselves ACCURATELY!

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

If they can vote to silence voters, you can be damn skippy sure SCOTUS will do just that!

The mask is off and its clear SCOTUS is nothing but a bunch of unhinged, immoral, unethical capitalist wing nuts running around in bathrobes impressed with their self-importance and believing their own shit!

"We have a rising new Dem star who really engages with people, and is sure to win their next election."

DEM LEADERSHIP: That's fantastic.

"What are the next steps?"

DEM LEADERSHIP: Simple. Force them to step aside and throw their support behind this 80-year-old lifetime politician.

You know FULL WELL that's not what I said... I said DEBATING by post.

When you twist someone else's words, you bring your creditability into question and cast doubt on the veracity of your work.

I don't engage with people who are disingenuous, so I'll be muting you now. Cheers!

How long must people suffer for the political ambitions of individuals?

Remember Regan and the delayed hostage deal so he could beat Carter?

The War on Drugs--still going--so Nixon could win?

Democrats cheating Bernie twice?

At what point do we recognize this as a crime to be prosecuted?

FLORIDA now requires public schools to share space with charter schools, and “one charter operator intends to occupy space in more than 100 public schools (!)” 🤔

Privatizing public schools at breakneck speed, filling their pockets with taxpayer funds. www.fox13news.com/news/charter...

Yes, authoritarianism is a cancer. But cancer is a symptom of a failing cellular system.

The underlying failing system creating the cancer of authoritarianism is capitalism.

Hitler, Franco, Musolini--all sprang from capitalism. Facism is capitalism's mask-off!

We #KillCapitalism, or it kills us!

So sad the good people of TN, GA, AL, etc., don't have a governor w/ this kind of integrity & courage. (Hoping @jbpritzker.bsky.social is running for POTUS in 2028!)

@govandybeshear.bsky.social will be head of the Dem Gov's Assoc in 2026 when many of these red states will have governors races!

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Damn! I wish the Greens, NPSL, DSA, etc., in the US would get together and form a single large party with a cohesive plan to REPLACE the Democratic Party.

@sanders.senate.gov is not running again. Maybe he & Kashama Sawant could lead it and help create a singular party.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.
