Trump's DHS raiding and trying to strip the citizenship of Ilhan Omar just weeks before the election is fascism, pure and simple If his thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you too. I stand with @ilhanmn.bsky.social.

I am ashamed for my country at what Trump is doing. He is abandoning Ukraine and handing a democracy over to a brutal dictator. Congress, do your damn job!

I’m so sad for my country. I’m mad as hell, and I’m scared and I’m deeply fucking worried about what Trump has done and is doing to this imperfect place I love, believe in, and call home. But more than anything else, I’m so deeply, deeply sad.

Under Trump and his Republican enablers, the richest Americans and biggest corporations have made out like bandits. Average working Americans are paying dearly for what the bandits have stolen. The grift and the graft must end.

Oklahoma had approved the well, which injected toxic oil field wastewater underground, without first ensuring it would not pollute the city of Enid’s groundwater. The well then repeatedly failed structural integrity tests. with @readfrontier.bsky.social

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.
