What does "don't fall for it mean"? What are voters supposed to do if they want to get rid of Republicans complicit with Trump's destruction of democracy?

If the opportunity to impeach Alito and Thomas becomes feasible, I hope the Democrats in Congress act promptly. Alito is a political hatchet man for Trump - fairness and justice are not factors in his decisions. Thomas is greedy and incompetent - an embarrassment to the Supreme Court.

If there are verified negative affects on human health from power plant emissions, do U.S. citizens have standing to sue the EPA for enabling this harm?

I hope that Britain, France, Germany and Italy (and any other country with missile defense expertise) are doing everything possible to help Ukraine defend against the obscene and indiscriminate missile barrages by Russia.

The Reflecting Pool debacle is the essence of the Trump regime: arrogance, stupidity and greed.

The theology/bible spat initiated by some Republicans against the Pope is mildly amusing to us on the sidelines, but the most important thing for American democracy is to maintain separation of church and state as contemplated in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

So the Republicans won't control the House of Reps even with all their re-districting schemes?

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social Your book The Beginning Comes After the End is excellent. Great coverage of historical events & conditions and incisive analysis of where we are as a society and where we may be headed. Your words give me hope for the future and motivation to help others as best I can.

The right-wing ultra-wealthy and anti-democracy groups enabled Trump. They worked on this for years with legislation favoring the wealthy and gaming Supreme Court appointments to implement their agenda. Trump is just the useful idiot who was able to tap into the racism to get elected - twice!

So what action are you suggesting?

Robert Pfeil @brankero.bsky.social · 29/04/2026
I hope that there is a nucleus of elected Democrats at the state and national level organizing to wrest control of the Democratic Party from the current leadership backed by the big money donors. Business as usual is not going to fix the crisis created by Trump's assault on American democracy.

Robert Pfeil @brankero.bsky.social · 29/04/2026
The weak Trump sycophants will be on their own when the end of this regime finally comes. They'll find out they were just being used to destroy American democracy - some won't even be rewarded with pardons when Trump is on the way out.

When you state that Netanyahu planned the October 7th massacre, you need to include conclusive documentation from multiple credible sources.

Thank you for taking action. It's difficult to understand why there is no way to force DOJ and the Trump administration to follow the law. Apparently a lawsuit by a journalist is the only recourse. Good luck!

So what should Americans be doing? Please list at least 5 specific actions that would be appropriate reactions to "what's being done to their country." Don't list No Kings rallies or irate calls/emails to reps & senators - the impact of these actions is unclear and difficult to measure.

To David N Simon: June 21, 2025: On the day of the airstrikes (part of "Operation Midnight Hammer"), Trump stated on Truth Social and in a televised address that Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities had been "completely and totally obliterated". So why are Trump's "forceful terms" needed now?

Robert Pfeil @brankero.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
Joe Biden was a good president, and he presided over legislation that tried to help people economically and to address energy and climate change issues. If Biden would have committed to serving one term, it would have given younger candidates the opportunity to compete for the 2024 Dem nomination.

The biggest shame for the super-rich supporting & enabling Trump is their selfish refusal to share their wealth and use their resources to achieve affordable housing, health care and child care for hard-working individuals and families who are very stressed financially.

It's depressing to know that if Trump is ousted, Vance would be president. With his billionaire overseers directing his actions, it would be difficult to recover from the damage they would do to American democracy.

Many people want to see accountability for the corrupt and immoral Trump administration, but how will this happen? Merrick Garland failed to bring Trump to account for the Jan 6 insurrection and election tampering, despite strong evidence. As for media malfeasance, Fox News is the most culpable.

They were facing expulsion from the House of Reps if they didn't resign. I wonder if either of them actually feels shame for their abusive behavior.

Eagerly waiting for JD Vance's comments about Trump's attack on Pope Leo.

Pope Leo is courageous - he's trying to save lives of innocent people caught in the violence created by barbaric politicians. I hope Catholics who voted for Trump can now see that he's a vile, despicable man not fit to be president.

Rep. John Larson of Connecticut has submitted H. RES. 1155 for impeachment of Trump. I'm not optimistic about the resolution being supported by enough representatives to actually impeach, but at least it's an attempt to act responsibly in this dire situation of presidential failure.

Trump's proposed budget funding the military but cutting programs needed by hard-working families is an abomination. Even Republican sycophants should be strongly opposed to this obscene cruelty.

It will be tragic if U.S. military personnel are sacrificed in this totally avoidable "military excursion." U.S. military leaders should be ashamed to put their troops in harm's way to fight this pointless "war."
