I'm unashamedly anti-Trump. I won't vote for anyone I can't trust around my daughter. However, the man has one admirable quality. He is unapologetically himself.

I just learned what 'TDS' means. I know, I'm a little late... but I feel like i should start wearing it like it's my post-nominal or something. Just call me, "H. D., TDS"

No Kings is a personal chose, not a political choice. How much power will you hand over, and at what cost?

H. D. | Brigadierworks @brigadierworks.bsky.social · 5d

I wish people would stop turning No Kings into a bipartisan issue. It's not anti Republican, it's antiauthoritarian. It's anti tyranny. And, yes, anti fascist.

Republicans only feel singled out because their chosen regime is all of the above.

I looked around the bus this morning and realized how many of these people I ride with every day. And how many empty seats there would be if ICE ever stopped the bus. 😟

Whites make up 58% of the population and cast 71% of the votes in the last election. Now we have a President who is a rich white criminal fascist.

I love the energy in the No Kings movement, but I don't see this being addressed.

PSA: A Bluesky account @deptvetaffairs.bsky.social made a false claim that VA’s disability claims backlog is down nearly 50%. Official VA releases show about 25% (May) to 37% (August), not ~50%. Treat the account as unverified and verify with VA sources.
