David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 17hI was dead for a while. My body stopped breathing. My heart stopped beating. I soiled myself. Flatlined. Whatever "I" is, I was never unconscious. Being put under for surgery is just blackness. Cessation of physical life isn't. Comment if you like. "I" don't care what anyone else thinks. Peace! 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 18hTen years ago, I read two articles about Trump's relationship with Felix Sater and the Russian Maffiya operating out of Trump Tower. I leapt to the conclusion that Trump's a Russian agent. My friends laughed at me. Fucking hilarious how the country could have avoided fascism by paying attention. 13411
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 18hI got married at 22 and was divorced 8 months later. She said committing to me made me realize she's actually not bi but gay. Ouch. We hooked up a year later and talked about it. I call her every so often to see how she's doing. Weird, I know. 100
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 18hI had three sisters and was raised by a working mom. My eldest is a woman. Guys who make rapey jokes around me get called out and humiliated for thinking it's funny. Actual rapists wouldn't be safe. I have a history of bad behavior against bullies. Too old to change. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 18hTrump blackmailed his way into power with dirt on his rivals supplied by Russian intelligence. CPAC was funded by Hungarian fascists. We're at war, and our worst enemy occupies the Executive Branch. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 18hTell 'em Dan. We're not fucking SS. We're Americans first. We swear an oath to the Constitution, and right now, my entire family expects me to die fighting for liberty and freedom. Not kicking in the door of some stranger's hut, but fighting here, for the real multicolored, queer as fuck America. 010
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 18hHi. Army vet here. Also born on base, the proud son of a combat-decorated career soldier. When are we talking about what happens when Johnson refuses to seat elected Democrats? When are we talking about the only way Trump is leaving office? Still sworn to protect and defend and sick of the treason. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 18hHi. I studied history and stuff in college. Someone tell me which Pharaoh died chasing Hebrews into the sea. I want to look him up. He's gotta be the most famous, since he's the one all who suffered all those horrible plagues, and they must be recorded in Egyptian history somewhere. Am I right? 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Take out all the data centers and refineries. Then take out all the Americans supporting Russia. If you support Trump, you support Russia and are America's enemy. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I have believed for 10 years that Trump blackmailed his way into power with dirt on his rivals supplied by Russian intelligence. He's destroyed our national security and standing in the world Our friends don't trust us, and our enemies don't fear us. As a vet and an Army brat, I see treason. 0184
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I'm learning how to play one of those things. Slowly. With arthritic hands. Damn, I love it! 010
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I see my daughter for the holidays. "Whaddaya say, kiddo?" (She's 37 and a court officer). "Fuck the patriarchy, Dad." "That's my girl. Where's the grandson?" Normal healthy family. 020
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Trump blackmailed his way into power with dirt on his rivals supplied by Russian intelligence. That's his part. The Powell Memo gave us the Heritage Foundation and the right-wing disinformation sphere. They gave us Project 2025, a plan for permanent white Christian male domination of the rest of us. 0100
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Then what? Rebellion when Johnson refuses to seat elected Democrats? Strongly worded petitions? Armed conflict? I have little doubt that Americans reject the fascist takeover, but I think they know that and don't care. They came in committing massive data theft with no fear of prosecution. Why? 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Well, I'm appropriately infuriated for the day, and it's not even 9 yet. Ten years ago, I decided to believe reports that Trump's was too cozy with Russia, because as a professional, I side with safety, and as an American, I liked it when we had secrets. Most of you made fun of me. Hah fucking ha. 020
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Fight. Get used to the idea that they're not leaving without force. They're not volunteering for prosecution. Trump's starting a civil war with the Constitution on one side and him on the other. I'm sworn to protect and defend the Constitution, so I have been ready for some time now. 120
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Army vet and an Army brat, the proud son of a combat-decorated career soldier who grew up on Army bases. We Americans have a responsibility to stop this guy and his regime, not the military, Congress, or the courts. It's on us to do anything about it. I swore to protect and defend the Constitution. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I'm for castration. But I'm an adult male who's never forced himself on anyone, so i may have different standards than rapists who make excuses for other rapists. 3120
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 11/10/2026We're humiliated. The treason is off the chart. I know not what course others may take, but fuck dying in a nursing home. Give me a country not allied with Russia, or let's fight. We'll see what happens. I'm not going to end my days in a Russian shithole, talking democracy. 110
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Go read what Lev Parnas said about "Hunter Biden's laptop." Go ahead. I have cookies to bake. 010
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Your party owns this, and we won't let you forget it. Ever. Your party gave us the child-raping Russian stooge, and it should be destroyed. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Now explain EXACTLY why your party either amplified his message or got out of his way. Go ahead. The Republican Party LET this happen, and you know it. They could have stopped him, but they thought he was useful to their petty ambitions, or he blackmailed them with Russsian-supplied intelligence. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 10/10/2026If you follow me, you should follow these guys. Also, you shouldn't follow too closely if you're afraid of getting hurt. I can be reckless. bsky.app/profile/thes... 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 10/10/2026My wife would already know and ask her to send more. We've been besties for 42 years. I have no secrets from her. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Trump blackmailed his way into power with dirt on his rivals supplied by Russian intelligence. He maintains power through blackmail, bribery, and fear. He's starting a civil war with the Constitution on one side and him on the other. I swore to protect and defend it. Good times ahead! See you there! 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Vandalize the demographics? Fancy talk for a heating and air contractor. Gosh, I wonder what he meant by that. What a turd. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026If we hadn't had the GWOT, hyper-survelliance wouldn't have become normalized in America. We might still enjoy the liberty and freedom of movement we did before they were sacrificed "to fight the terrorists." GWOT normalized torture and politicians embracing "the dark side," as Cheney put it. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The war on terror prepared the soil for Trump. The response to 9/11 was overreaching legislation in the form of the Patriot Act (fascist name), increased police presence in our personal lives, and jingoistic conformity of public opinion in support of the lies they told us to feed KBR and Blackwater. 000
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I wanted Linux to be my free operating system, and I used it for years, but the technerd developers made it intentionally obtuse, and "online help" consisted of FAQs requiring me to read an entire tech manual just to download and install a program. It's like its difficulty was a premium feature. 200
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026On September 26th, I celebrated FIFTY ONE years of cannabis use. I have experienced more unpleasant side effects from the goddamned drug war than I ever did from weed. 010
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026bsky.app/profile/thes... I have been warning of this since Musk sent his techies to steal our data. I have been trying to get anyone to take this seriously and plan for it. I have asked my representatives what they plan to do WHEN it happens, and they have no answer. Not even my Senator Jon Ossof. 110
David Davetoyou @dlbradley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It's not terrifying. It's infuriating. Remember that. You should be angry, not scared. No fear. There are many more of us. 041
