blueindesmoines.bsky.social @blueindesmoines.bsky.social · 17/01/2026This is the most depressing thing I've read today. We're on our own, friends. 010
blueindesmoines.bsky.social @blueindesmoines.bsky.social · 10/11/2025I've been in such a good mood ever since Tuesday night. Now Chuck Schumer is sabotaging every bit of leverage we'd accrued. I hate it when people say they don't vote because it makes no difference and both parties are bad, but my god, do you have to give them justification? 000
blueindesmoines.bsky.social @blueindesmoines.bsky.social · 15/09/2025It's so interesting that when the Iraq war started, non-Muslim Americans criticized Islam by saying that it subjugates women, but now women's subjugation is treated as unquestionably Christian. 000

If a Jewish Rabbi can’t persuade you, who can? 18128

blueindesmoines.bsky.social @blueindesmoines.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Christianity is fundamentally anti-imperial. I don't recognize it in Mike Johnson. Or MAGA. 000
blueindesmoines.bsky.social @blueindesmoines.bsky.social · 22/06/2025I get that it's a marathon, not a sprint, but the extent of the damage that's being done real quick while we laboriously call our (oblivious) reps, record individual ICE raids, and scrabble in the sofa cushions for money to send refugees--it's horrendous. 000

I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.” 792115803664

blueindesmoines.bsky.social @blueindesmoines.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I don't have any followers so probably no one will read this. But. Our democracy is dying (slowly, then all at once) because of money in politics. It's so expensive to run for office that politicians depend on oligarchs. 251
