Los Angeles TV producer, writer, and Resister/Opposer happy to be breathing the clean air here at BlueSky I'm not usually such a potty mouth, but fascists piss me off. Also, I just binge watched Ted Lasso.

My 5th Great Grandfather, whose brother was lost at Bunker Hill, didn't spend three years of his life in the 1770s/80s marching all over the Northeast in George Washington's army, for me to stay silent while foreign fascists and traitors try to take over this country. Not on my watch.

NO. It's fundamentally inappropriate for the @dscc.bsky.social to form a fundraising committee with Janet Mills. What happened to staying OUT of the primaries?

No Kings means no thrones, no crowns. If we did have a king, it wouldn't be motherfucking King Krasnov.

On Oct 18, we march for democracy.
150 people who oppose this regime. Follow all and share so we can connect. That is our greatest power.

Republicans: Shooting Christian pastors is OK, Due process is overrated, & bombing Venezuelan boats is good!

Young Republicans: We love H*tler, we should gas everyone who doesn't support us

Democrats: No Kings, No H*tler

Republicans: See that?? Democrats keep escalating the political rhetoric.

He's right. Trump admin appointees are the most brazen practitioners of the "ancient art of lying" in American history.

We need to show them the door. And also, rehome them to prison.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”
