Of course, when I'm without my camera and long lens, I come across about 30 Cedar Waxwings in a few trees, within feet of me.😑 #birding #birds #birdphotography #birdsky

The end goal is government dismantling, replaced by privatized companies, and installing a CEO-style monarch. The oligarchs need to be stopped.

Business as usual for the grifters running our country. It's all waste and fraud, unless it benefits them. Right out of Trump's playbook of, "all bad things are someone else's fault, all good things are because of me"

Is anyone really surprised? They won't push the confirmation hearing of anyone they dont already know has the votes. All of the confirmations are just formalities. If trump says he wants it, they will make sure it happens. The GOP is too spineless to go against him.

If the ABA has to call you out, you know you're doing wrong. If within their power, they should start stripping legal licenses from any attorney making bad faith arguments that trump is within his rights.

It's amazing how quickly people get mad when you question their narrative. I posted a screenshot from an article that shows the Mexican president agreed to 10,000 additional troops to the border, to curb misinformation being spread that she was reducing the amount of soldiers on the border.

Talking to a coworker (fellow union member) and he spoke about how higher wages will kill fast food. I just said that if a business can't survive while paying their employees a liveable wage, they shouldn't exist. You'd think I just killed a child in front of them by their anger at that comment.

I believe their supports are still in the honeymoon phase. While it feels like it's been a year already, it has only been a week. So, many are probably waiting for the payoff. As such, it will take a while before the negatives start really getting supporters to question their actions.

So much this. We need to focus more on the ground level. Turn out for municipal and state elections! I would argue these are MORE important than the federal elections, especially if you want to see a shift in the national party. Elect them at home so they have a chance to get to the national level.

I think Trump having his Inauguration inside is a perfect allegory for what's to come. He will be comfortable inside, having a great time with fellow millionaires and billionaires, while the common citizens, that put him back there, will be left out in the cold.

If this is true, it really is a whole other layer to what people thought Musk was doing with twitter. Hoping this will get the proper attention it deserves and is investigated, though with less than a week before the new administration takes over I highly doubt it.
