@moreperfectunion.bsky.social love your guys’ reporting and investigative journalism! If you haven’t, can you guys do a segment on how companies go public and end up fleecing investors just because of the way corporations are set up? They always have a board and people who sit on the board…

This deal with Iran is definitely not looking like a deal but an embarrassing capitulation, which may be the goal of Trump to begin with since he has no shame. He’s destroying the US from the inside if that’s still not evident. Nothing he does makes any sense unless you think that’s what he’s up to.

This is a bit of a rant. I don’t understand why people on threads esp the liberal, progressive ones are always complaining about being throttled, losing followers, etc. Zuck owns threads. And he is owned by this regime. Leave the fucking platform & take all your followers with you!

MAGAts (and their bots) are like scam/spam callers. If you don’t engage, they’ll get tired and move on. When I see them in any platform, I immediately block. I don’t click on anything they have to say as that increases their views. I don’t comment coz that increases their engagement.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. Time for any and all of our leaders with guts to call on the military to intervene. There is no precedent but this will be the first, if only to save the world from utter destruction.

NATO is a defensive alliance. When I hear our fascist regime whine about our allies not helping us, maybe bring up that fact every time. The US spread itself so thin all over the world, guaranteeing security for everyone - NATO, East Asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan), Philippines, AUKUS, ME, etc.

If only Trump isn’t as narcissistic, he could just declare victory on the Iran war and order our troops to stop attacking Iran and leave the area. We can save further embarrassment and save money for our own people. Leave Israel with this. It’s their war.

In the aftermath of the Oslo incident, I hope cooler heads in Europe prevail. Before coming to any conclusions, ask first, who stands to benefit from an attack on a NATO country? And why Norway? Is it oil and gas again? Iran stands to lose if it drags NATO to war. A NATO at war will weaken Europe.

So I came across a weird post on threads. (I’m there as an observer so I don’t engage even if I do want to tell folks to ignore and block the MAGAts). The poster said search any food item. Maybe search a few - ice cream, candy, whatever. Then search pizza. No results.

I’m literally sick to my stomach after seeing a fraction of the new batch of Epstein files. Lots of redactions as usual, and it’s the wrong redactions. I’m hoping whoever worked on these files have some sense in them that they’re not part of the pedo club. So either they’re with us or against us.

There’s a reason why the ICE gestapo along with other American Nazis are only deployed en masse in some cities and not all at once - there’s not that many of them. Remember, there are more of us than there are of them. It’s important that protests are peaceful.

I wonder if liberal/progressive people on threads are just on threads and not on Bluesky. We need to teach them to ignore the trolls. They keep responding trying to make it a teachable moment but as most of us here know, they’re just that - trolls. When we stop feeding the trolls, we get a debate.

Did I just read CA passed new bills to prevent law enforcement from wearing masks except in a few situations? It’s coming almost 9 full months of this nightmare but better late than never. It makes total sense and should’ve been the first bills to become state law as they started doing it.

We should be taking notes, collecting evidence and storing them somewhere where it can’t be reached by this regime. Once this is over, we will mete out punishment to all deplorables who participated in this fascist experiment and punish companies and entities who capitulated.

I am dismayed, disgusted and disappointed at our military. They seem to just be going along with this fascist regime. With all the wars we’ve fought, is there no one brave enough to make a stand and arrest all these criminals in power? What happened to their oaths to the constitution?

Amid these indiscriminate ICE raids, big corporations are silent, most democratic leaders are silent except for a few, the mainstream media is silent and complicit. It’s time to really dig deep and resist in a major way. This is not business as usual anymore.

I heard of another civil disobedience idea. Since we can’t trust most corporations to always do the right thing without proper prodding, collectively, we can stop buying things that we don’t need to live on in order to starve these companies of revenue. It shouldn’t be just one day.

As this regime keeps gutting gov to bare bones, maybe it’s time to explore some civil disobedience actions. One way to do this is to starve them of funding. We can change our tax withholding and claim the highest amount so we pay very little in taxes.

I hope this regime knows that when they set a precedent that they are skipping due process, it can be used against them once the tables are turned. I think elected officials need to remind Trump of what we will all do to them when they lose power. All MAGA will be rounded up and sent to Guantanamo.

Trump made so many promises during the campaign. As we look at his first 100 days, he has done a lot to ruin the economy and our country but hadn’t delivered much on his campaign promises. It’s usually hard to keep promises when we have a split government. But they have literally every branch.

As a consumer based society, one way to get companies to listen (and grow balls) is to affect their bottom lines. In short, money speaks. If we all try to stop buying unnecessary items for daily living, their revenues will massively drop and they will start to listen to people, aka customers.

The financial media has been reporting the relief rally as some sort of a historic event after Trump’s reversal on tariffs. He’s clearly manipulating the markets and sending signals out to his friends. After most of America and retirees lost, whoever listened to him gained. I’m sure his friends did.
