It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

It was the perfect target though. Easy for regular consumers to boycott and with low stakes. Walking away from all Apple products? Possible but not easy and quite costly. And how exactly does one boycott Caterpillar, for example? Lockheed?

Isn’t the recent pattern that he goes missing the beginning of the month?

It’s definitely too late in terms of any return to the old normal. The only way is forward. But the reality is no system can withstand capitulation of the guardrails. We can improve the system but people have to be willing participants or it all goes to hell

She and three of her colleagues could make a big difference if they wanted to 🤷‍♀️

It’s a powerful symbol and Dems need to jump on it

Shocking anyone can’t see how bad it is. The VA and NJ should help us see the real (if off year) impacts

There is a reason societies specialize. Farming is hard! We harder for fun but damned if I can figure out how to increase pollination rates, keep pests/mold away, get enough sun

Dude, take the L. They aren’t the same organization and they don’t have the same mission.

I’m sorry…what?!?!? It will hit Americans hard. I guess republicans just get a pass for any responsibility because they don’t give a shit?

Follow up: then why can’t you just do it now?

Trumpism!

I went through this recently with my (former) favorite musician. His music promoted a set of values that he clearly did not adhere to IRL. His music was part of my identity, part of my self care. But when it was revealed he was a POS, I moved on! It sucks but that’s the only answer

Or experience/track record!

It’s hard to admit when you’ve been had. I had to do it recently when my very favorite feel good musician turned out to be a POS. You feel betrayed. I guess some people would rather just deny it…a perfect reflection of Trump supporters.

Sincere question…why? What’s the angle here other than he’s really an R at this point?

PNW Mom 👊🇺🇸💙🐸 @tvnred.bsky.social · 2d

They like him and his message. He is exciting and charismatic. And somehow they refuse to acknowledge the many red flags. It sucks but adults should be able to process this information. It’s wild how committed and unquestioning they are.

Planter is so charismatic and relatable. And we are desperate for a ME victory. People are having a hard time accepting that he’s a shape shifter. They WANT to believe in him. But we need to learn from our previous mistakes - Fetterman, Sinema, etc.

Or…hear me out…you could have answered the question. Who should have vetted him?

PNW Mom 👊🇺🇸💙🐸 @tvnred.bsky.social · 2d

I was definitely hoping he’d pan out but I remained skeptical. He had no record to stand on. I also am not a big fan of aiming for a big office straight out of the gate

PNW Mom 👊🇺🇸💙🐸 @tvnred.bsky.social · 2d

By whom? He’s a nobody who threw his hat in the ring and caught fire. That’s what the primary is for.

Maybe? The IRS is very powerful and this administration is more than happy to use their power

It’s not up to states. The Feds collect their own taxes via employers. So you could stop withholding although I’m not sure that ends well
