Came to Bluesky just to follow Philip DeFranco. Stayed for the super cool people like G. Takei, Mark Hamill, Marc Elias, AND EVERY PERSON DOING THEIR BEST TO RESIST/ STAND UP AGAINST INTOLERANCE/FASCISM. Sorry for the all caps, I think it's important.

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Trump recently signed an executive order declaring antifa a domestic "terrorist organization." The declaration may be absurd, but Trump's endgame is clear: to allow the government to label everyday citizens as terrorist threats in order to suppress protests and silence opposition.

What's really behind Trump's move to declare antifa a 'terrorist organization'

That is a wonderfully, horribly accurate drawing of the TACO.

The drawing of his neck-vagina is spot on.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

From what I can tell from up here in Canada, the GOP goal is to "help" their constituents die, and die faster.

I disagree, he's working incredibly hard to protect the pedophile dictator in power and to further the goals of the fascist dictatorship he's part of.

He's the MOST EVIL American Speaker of the House ever.

EVIL is the word you're looking for.

IF resistance was truly futile the "powers that be" wouldn't work so damn hard at trying to convince people to not resist in the first place.

(Like voting; if your vote didn't count, they wouldn't work so hard to take it away.)

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

LOL, and now it's up to 40 Billion for Argentina!

I wonder what excuses the magats will come up with to explain away/make this acceptable?

They truly are all gold level champions at the mental gymnastics needed to survive the cognitive dissonance.

Whoever thought of dressing up as giant animals to fight fascism was a genius. The regime absolutely wants violence to use as their propaganda as an excuse to escalate. You can tell how desperate they & their influencers are trying to make a pink unicorn sound like an existential threat to America.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

Just a thought: Instead of Argentina, how about we bail out America first?
