Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 27/01/2026The murder of Alex Pretti has dominated the media but no one is talking about the real root cause of the shooting. It wasn't his decision to bring a gun to a protest. That's legal. It was the officer's decision to escalate to the use of force and physically assault protesters. 000 0

Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 27/01/2026That ICE agent had no right to get violent in the first place. His behavior is exactly the reason for the second amendment. Every protester should be armed. You will find ICE learning how to de-escalate real quick. 290 0
Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 25/01/2026There's a very decent chance Democrats win both house and Senate this year. If they do, the first priority is to end the filibuster and shut Trump's administration down. 100 0

Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 14/05/2025The affordability crisis is caused by excessively available financing. Financing allows the demand for something to rise independently from wages.

Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Let me get this straight... You don't trust the government with your tax money... You don't trust them to administer welfare or healthcare... But you trust them with the power to execute their own citizens? 052 0

Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 10/04/2025A true American patriot who reveres the foundational principles of liberty enshrined in the constitution should become nauseated by the mere appearance of an executive branch that moves to punish dissent, disrespect, or disloyalty to itself. 141 0
Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Did anyone ever consider that perhaps congress should hold the authority to institute tariffs and not the president?

Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 10/04/2025"Due process" means that the government must take fair and objective efforts to find if someone is guilty, and give them a chance to defend themselves before you punish them on mere suspicion.

Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 03/04/2025The only reason markets aren't down more than 15% right now is that some investors are still clinging to hope that Trump will reverse course on these tariffs before they are implemented.

Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 20/03/2025The ideal leader isn't something that exists in a vacuum. You can't look at the candidates alone to pick the best.

Progressive Patriot @drshiny.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Why are egg prices more stable in Canada than the US? No, not because of illegal immigrants or social security.
