I’m not deleting my account, but I’m removing app right after this post. This platform is commiseration with no action and I have had zero impact here. I dumped twitter and threads and joined BluSky hoping to make a difference. I didn’t and don’t see that changing anytime soon. Peace out ya’ll.

The fascist regime has now funded what every fascist regime wants: an unaccountable paramilitary entity, operating outside and beyond the control of the military, judicial, and state/local systems, and primed to transform into an all-purpose repression force, likely to foster death squads.

Destroy the little bit of a safety net we still provide as you give more money to those who already have it, all while giving unprecedented funding to federal law enforcement in the midst of a president seeking to unconstitutionally and illegally use federal law enforcement. What could go wrong?

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

1. The FCC has suspended a rule, schedule to go in effect this year, that would have banned prisons from price gouging on phone calls. Right now, at some jails, a 15-minute phone call can cost over $11. The decision benefits some of Trump's top donors.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will no longer enforce a rule capping the price of prison phone calls, according to an announcement made Monday by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?
