You've probably seen this before. Think of it as a gentle reminder, bozo is only the figurehead of the problem. The problem is money as power, power which they don't want to share. In fact, they want more, they want it all.

youtube.com/shorts/mJ1JF... CBS finally did some decent reporting in this story although they didnโ€™t follow up with Trumpโ€˜s administration involvement like the big beautiful Bill. Theyโ€™re still gun shy because of leadership at CBS.

Dissolve the repug party. Disenfranchise all repugs. Arrest and convict the current administration, major donors, authors of Project 2025. Buses should pull up to the Capital, take all repug pols, including 6 Supremes, to summer camp at Camp Lajeune. Fumigate the White House. New Constitution.

Wow! I knew they were fascists, but this is a new level EVIL. This what MAGA will become, if it's not there already.

You already know this but this is a good presentation. Worth your time.

Bill Madden@maddenifico.bsky.social

The most cruel, sadistic, and morally bankrupt Republican congress in history. A mirror image of their degenerate leader.

If only the people who should see this would, but they won't. Even if they saw it, they wouldn't believe it. They are lost to us forever.

There is handwriting on the wall. USS Abraham Lincoln and turning our backs on the future of warfare. Are we listening?

APPLEBAUM: Instead of integrating drones, Hegseth is canceling drone battalion and talking about push-ups and facial hair. Itโ€™s really insane. I mean, if someone were paying him to undermine United States, or if he were a secret enemy, this is how he would behave. It's suicidal.

What a helluva sign. The writing on the wall?

Daily Beast: A sprawling roadside Trump Superstore near Knoxville, TN is closing down. When an employee named Dan was asked if foot traffic was steady, he replied, โ€œWeโ€™re not busy anymore.โ€ What a fantastic mood booster! ๐Ÿ˜… #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Preaching to the choir here. Most know this, but some of your friends, neighbors, family don't. She has a few facts which may be new to you. Know them. Have a plan. I'm working on that. If you have one, share it.

Come America 2.0, I can't guarantee all issues will be addressed, but they should be. There will be no wealth advantage. Public financing. No donations. No advertising. Nomination will be by IQ and USCIS tests, PBS and NPR interviews and RCV. Open to anyone with ideas and plans. No parties.

I teared up, but wish it didn't have to be. We need to remove our putin puppets and give Ukraine all it needs. The sooner this is over the better. Note: The puppets exist at all levels and in all branches.

A shout-out to the future of Utah (Gabby and friend) and to show just how stupid being a billionaire can be. Really flip flops? Fear mongering at its most inane.

FYI. This must be one of the first things we address. We look at monopolies. We look at market control. And we pump as much money and resources (reporters, editors, producers) as makes sense into the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (home of PBS and NPR). We must own the news.

Shocker.

Our time is coming when we will sing "land of the free and home of the brave" and it will mean something.

Hungaryโ€™s parliament sings โ€œOde to Joyโ€ โ€” the anthem of Europe โ€” after Pรฉter Magyar is sworn in as prime minister. Hungary is once again a proud member of the European Union.

I agree. Not sure the pretext, but the 6 corrupt Supremes will invalidate the 2028 election. Every election which didn't go their way, probably voter fraud (caused by the repugs). May declare martial law as it appears they have lost. Grab the ballots and run. Not sure what the military will do.

Yes, and they will continue to think and act this way until they learn how to be Americans. If we expect to become the America we should be with Liberty and Justice for All, they cannot be a part of our political system. Dissolve the repug party. Disenfranchise repugs. Arrest and try the leaders.

Yes and no. The battle is between fascism and Americanism (liberty and justice for all). The fascists at the top are prodding and goading those at the bottom to fight others at the bottom, but they would anyway. Money just gives them a louder voice. The enemy is fascism, rural reactionaries.

We can question the numbers, but not the methods. We need mail-in ballots, regional processing centers, and human and electronic oversight. We should be able to determine districts strictly on the basis of population. Use zip codes and or census tracts. Start at the most populous and go from there.

A top US general doesnโ€™t โ€œwalk outโ€ over nothing. If reports are even partly true, this is what breakdown looks like: - Pressure for escalation, military resistance, nuclear rhetoric entering the room. Thatโ€™s not strength. Thatโ€™s instability at the highest level. youtube.com/watch?v=p3Dy...

National Referendum Probably not there yet, but given the dysfunction of Congress, when we Restructure, I hope we have something like a National Referendum where our voice can be heard and heeded. Anybody who wants a voice can speak with a few clicks. This for recall, but it could be for any issue.

Salt Lake came through.

Tribune photojournalist Francisco Kjolseth captured this time lapse footage of the No Kings protest march and rally at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City. Read the story here: www.sltrib.com/news/2026/03...

No authority, but I think this paints the hell awaiting the Marines and any other troops we try to bring ashore. Iran is a series of rugged mountains made for defense. I hope we have generals who will put a stop to this madness. Take care of your men.

We're getting some fighters. He's not a favorite, but he could become one. Worth your time.

Bruce Little@brucedlittle.bsky.social

Governor Newsom talks about his humble upbringing, people badmouthing the state, progress with the homeless crisis, over-regulation in the state, rebuilding after the fires, ICE in our streets, phone calls from Trump, & Gov Gav (Josh Meyers) stops by to give a very special award to the real Gov Gav!

Probably won't reach the right audience, but let's get the truth out there. They're making up justifications as they go. Child killers and child rapists must face justice.

Could Not Say This Betterโ€ฆ.

Unity I hear the cry for unity. But with whom? There was a time when we practiced unity. We would argue, fight, and get angry, but then we would compromise. I get a little, you get a little. Compromise, then cooperate. Those days are gone. The other side is a cult. You can't compromise with a cult.

What's below is called moral circles. It's what differentiates liberals (WOKE) from conservatives (MAGA). The more circles the more liberal. Tends to explain rural conservatism, isolation. One reason 1945 to 1965 saw social progress. We got to know each other because of WWII. It may be simplistic.

I don't know how this will happen, but it must. The corruptive power of wealth must be broken. A progressive tax code would help, but RICO would shine the blinding light of truth on the fascist quest to extinguish the light of our democracy. Thiel, musk, and others must pay. They have hurt too many.
