Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 21/05/2026It's insane. His grandiosity is beyond wasteful--this is so off-track it's dangerous. And Republicans are evil for giving him cover and indulging his insanity. We have to make sure there's so much hell to pay for Republicans that Americans will never trust them again. 011
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Voters are awake. At this point, corrupt shenanigans Trump/Republicans (this includes SCOTUS and billionaire sponsors) charge up an expensive credit card. Payments are deferred, but the bill WILL come due. We gotta make sure the cost is enough to bankrupt them and put them out of business for good. 020

Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I don't give a shit about the distinguished titles and robes. These people are dishonest, sleazy trash. They're self-deluded, white supremacist brutes, pretending to be dignified.🤨 Garbage. 130
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 29/04/2026The American right, or the Republican Party, and the SCOTUS it controls, is blatantly racist. As time passes, their racism will stand in stark relief. There's no plausible deniability--flimsy attempts to obfuscate are intolerable. The right wing of the Roberts SCOTUS deserves eternal infamy. 010
Reposted by LauraJosh Marshall @joshtpm.bsky.social · 29/04/2026This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States. 5046591564

Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 28/04/2026:::sigh::: It just never ends. These people are insane and current #Republicans need to be shunned forever for letting things get this crazy. 000
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Exactly. The public knows how dishonest and manipulative Trump is and how much he tries to control the "message" and our perceptions of everything. 0100
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I was thinking the same thing. Now, it seems like the political media has been deformed so badly it can barely fulfill its purpose. And Trump's endless manipulation of it has brought participants' flaws into stark relief too--their own emotional investment in driving "narratives" distorts meaning.☹️ 010

Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 23/04/2026It was kinda funny, considering the ridiculous hypocrisy. But watching the audience uncritically absorb it, like a zombie call-response ritual, while staying oblivious to the Trump family's *real* raid on public funds and shady foreign dealings, it got sad and horrifying. 100
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Right. They accept *actual* corruption from Republicans and save their OUTRAGE for the yarns spun by Fox and Congressional MAGAs about Democrats. 110
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 23/04/2026SO glad you're teaming up with #MSNOW to address the Trump family's blatant cash-grabbing and the outrageous hypocrisy of FoxNews. And I love that you're referring to all the great work Media Matters did to debunk all the conspiracy theories contrived by Fox/Republicans about the Biden family. 010
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 23/04/2026It would be the sensible thing to do. But as long as they think they can win with cheating / dirty tricks, they may continue their shenanigans until voters decide to throw them ALL out.🤨 000

Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 23/04/2026He's never been good at negotiating. He "made money" in real estate by engaging in fraud and stiffing creditors.

Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026This picture elicits so many questions. And they're all pretty damned funny.😆 000
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Interesting. Just looking at a few synopses, I thought of Loudermilk -- heavy subject matter, complicated characters, ridiculous situations. Did you watch/like Loudermilk? 130
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026YOU'RE the one with a comprehension problem. My original post was a response re the national organization, Indivisible. Did you get confused and think I was responding to an individual voter? Or to you, specifically? AGAIN: I think everyone should vote their preferences in primaries. Now. Go. Away. 010
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Thinking about that has kept me up many, many nights. I just can't deflect or try to exist in a state of denial. I mean, I've tried.😣 040
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Again. Not what I said and not what I want. It's disrespectful to continue using straw-man bullshit with me. I have no interest in arguing with you. Now leave me alone. 110
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026You've ignored what I said to pretend this is some other argument. Vote your preference in primaries. Fine! Good, even! But after primaries, the focus changes from personal preference to harm reduction. It's not complicated. Now stop using me as a straw man to pretend I'm trying to bully you. 000
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Did I advocate for brow beating voters into unity? No. Stop acting like I'm implying that. Competitive primaries are appropriate. Voters voting and advocating for their favorite in primaries is appropriate. My anxiety is about national orgs participating in intra-party squabbling before primaries. 120
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026That's not my point. Everyone should vote for their favorite in the primary -- that's as it should be! But after the primaries, I want everyone to be able to put disappointment (or even resentment) aside so we can win the generals. 110
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Damaging, huh? I'm skeptical but ever-hopeful. My fondest dream is seeing the vast majority of Americans realize that the entire modern right-wing movement is corrupt, destructive, and should be flushed down the toilet. 000
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026True. FDR understood the coalitions he was working with. Plenty wrong with it, but it's how he wrangled policy through.🙁 000
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026tbh, I hadn't paid much attention so I hadn't noticed. But I believe you, because this right here is truly poorly considered. Just stupid. I'm always anxious about holding our coalition together enough to win the frickin general election. This is NOT helpful.🤨 060
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Indivisible wading into intra-party squabbling BEFORE primaries is dumb. You're going to undermine your own frickin name. 041
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026You're wading into endorsements BEFORE primaries? You realize this will alienate folks who prefer whomever you DON'T endorse, right? Isn't that, ummm, inherently divisive?😑 Seems more appropriate for Indivisible to unify us AFTER the primaries, when it's time to focus our voting power. 3152
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Why are they endorsing people in *primaries* in the first place?? Isn't that an inherently divisive thing to do?? Cripes, man.😒 1111
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Wow! Thank you for calling attention to this, because I didn't catch it. I just thought about the value of gains we'd made during my own lifetime since the 60s...but HE said "100 years ago" as if it had been a clear-eyed (and therefore superior) period of principled priorities. Yikes!😮 030
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 19/04/2026The look on his whole head is 😆😅. Look at how he's holding his ears... 010
Laura @beulahmo.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Yep. I don't like the framing. Knowing history is necessary because it takes a long time to effect change. And when ordinary folks have enjoyed tangible benefits from policy, it's always been stuff Democrats have worked DECADES for. If he's wise he would drive the bandwagon w/o first vandalizing it. 021
