badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I don’t want to hear more about the R’s plans to cheat. I want to hear more about the plan to stop them. There are lawyers fighting hard, but we need D’s in Congress to step up and give us some leadership. Serious times need serious people not feel good talk therapy. Be a John Hancock! Write large! 031
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I just received an email from Social Security touting all the current administration has, supposedly, done for seniors. I object to the administration using my personal information to send me what is clearly a political message and using the 4th of July as an excuse to do it. Congress: wake up!! 052

badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 18/11/2025Americans have their own ideas about what’s right and how things are supposed to go. You can see it all over the country as ICE agents come into our communities. Maybe the administration should watch The American Revolution on PBS. We really don’t like being told what’s what. We The People decide! 010
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Thank you @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com for calling out the @nytimes.com for reporting failure on the Trump administration & for calling out the double standard of the White House press corp. You have courage, passion, and integrity. You may not bat for the Yankees but you hit it out! Finally! 120
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 06/09/2025I have this horrid fear that we are one step away from blue states having to check vaccination records at the border. And then what happens if blue states elect republican governors? Do all of our protections go away? This is nuts. 010
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 04/07/2025I do not believe I have ever received a political statement from social security prior to today. I had heard it was coming but was still shocked to receive it. It is not only inappropriate, it is a clear attempt to sway opinion, and it is completely wrong to do. I am not swayed, but I am offended. 100
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 02/07/2025So R’s get a sound bite saying BBB is bad so they can use it for reelection then they vote against it, just like they touted the infrastructure bill in their districts after they voted against it. BBB will take away health care, snap, and fund ICE beyond all reason. Cruel and unusual punishment. 000
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 02/02/2025In the movie Independence Day, there comes a moment when it is clear to the characters that the aliens are like a swarm of locusts who will consume all resources and then move on. I can’t help but feel that this is what is happening to us now. We are being consumed to then be left as a nation dead. 040
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 26/01/2025When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, … a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. 084
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 25/01/2025It is surprising to me that people keep being shocked by Trump, by either his actions or the speed of their implementation. Has everyone forgotten their Machiavelli? 010
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 25/01/2025If we had to go to war tonight to save our country and our way of life we would lose. The senate has illuminated the level of courage in our leadership. They clearly care more for their own skins than the lives of our military or of the people of our nation. Now there’s more to fear than fear itself 020
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 21/01/2025I have to ask the media: Isn’t this what was wanted? Now you will have constant talking points. Constant “news”. Your corporate owners are thrilled. You have jobs still, but has it been worth the loss of honor? I suspect you don’t see it. You think you have been bold and decent. You don’t get it. 010
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Today has been a hard day. I have trouble accepting that we are here. It’s like a children’s book. Go around again. I can’t really bear it. So many in public life have let the people down. I fear for all of us and the madman is incapable of caring for us. He will consume all and still not be full. 010
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 02/12/2024The pardon of Hunter isn’t about the law. It’s about politics. Hunter would never have been dealt with the way he was if it had been strictly about the law. This is a political solution to a political problem. It doesn’t make Hunter innocent. It just stops the political persecution via legal cover. 000
badstorm3.bsky.social @badstorm3.bsky.social · 02/12/2024I’m glad Joe pardoned Hunter. It was the right thing under the circumstances. 020
