OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Until all Americans come to terms with it, there can not (nor should there be) redemption. We should be in the streets every single day, demanding action; until such time, we are ALL complicit. And I count myself as one of the complicit. Please Canada, hold on to what you have. The world needs you. 050
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I hope so too. Maybe it's just a large number who don't pay attention and vote R because it's tradition. 110
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I don't think we're measuring the same thing. I'm talking about the racist, homophobic, isolationist, Christian Nationalist 'America First' origin of MAGA. Trumpism is on the way out, for sure - because of Iran and high prices. The other stuff still has the full support of almost half the country. 100
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I agree but there is still the chance to work transactionally with other democratic countries. Once we are officially in bed with Putin, we'll be cut out of even that...it'll take a couple years but that's what will happen. 120
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 10/10/2026They don't want children to know trans people even exist, but kids WILL know public executions exist...no matter how many parents refuse to let them watch. I can hear the kids now, "mommy what's public execution?" 010
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 10/10/2026We do know what had to happen in between the rise and fall, though, right? We're nowhere near getting rid of the basic MAGA philosophies; it's half our country. If it weren't for higher prices, we'd be struggling to win mid-terms...it isn't a rejection of MAGA. 110
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 10/10/2026💯If I am alone in my car, I make sure the doors are locked and I leave my car in Drive if I'm just stopped waiting for something, so I can quickly drive away from a potential attacker. If I had a child with me, I'd be even more vigilant. 010
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Minneapolis literally fought on the front lines for us...and we failed to back them up. I can't lead the charge but I would be out there with leaders, like I was for women's rights, BLM marches and No Kings. I'm ashamed to look around for something and find nothing. 100
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 10/10/2026No...unless we have been out on the streets day in and day out, demanding change, we are ALL complicit. We have to realize this fact before anything can actually change. I know we hate it, but they take advantage of our laziness & apathy. That's just fact & I'm one of millions of us...I admit it. 120
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It isn't that Trump 'wants to'...it's that the US actually is funding it; unless, of course Americans rise up and tell our government not to. It's time we realize we're ALL complicit - unless we've been out on the streets day in and day out. We're lazy and weak while people all over the world DIE. 020
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 10/10/2026They used to say we were going to colonize Mars. Then again, we used to be "leaders of the free world" and now our great ambition is to colonize Canada and Cuba. I'd prefer feeding and sheltering people right here at home, if I had any choice where my tax dollars go. 040
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 09/10/2026One more step toward Gilead. In the novel, there were obvious steps that were tolerated until the dramatic complete takeover of the government. What in the actual hell are we waiting to see? Midterms...how quaint. Nostalgia is not a strategy. 020
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Every day a new horror...what will our country be after the next 2 years? We know for certain we aren't the country we thought we were, but we won't even be the country we are now. 000
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The renewed smear campaign is also an attempt to chill a 2029 Democrat president from nominating Smith for A/G. We need to be loud about not bowing to the 'appearance of bias' B.S. we went through with Garland. Smith for A/G is an exceptional choice, if he's willing. 000
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That's what I want the ballroom used for...before it's torn down. 020
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 04/10/2026If he would accept the job, there's no other choice. I actually think half the reason the Republicans are still going after him is to make the Dems hesitate to nominate him...you know, the whole 'appearance of bias' crap. They know he's ready on day 1 to reveal all the info they've destroyed. 001
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The second I watched Leticia James get the job, I feared the rapists would become MAGA heroes...like Kyle Rittenhouse...and convince a lot of young men that it was the victim's fault. Women are in real danger on many fronts in Trump's America. 010
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 30/09/2026So, is OpenAI changing their name? I'm sure they're thrilled. 000

OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 29/09/2026So, he'll let his accusation of Smith perjuring himself sit out there rather than admit he got the teams wrong. That should be included in the definition of 'dirtbag.' 1243
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If farmers support paying Belarus rather than a fair price to Canada (already discounted) according to our TRADE AGREEMENT, they can rot in their barren fields when Belarus threatens our supply. The risk on this 'deal' is immeasurable for the f'ing world; but, hey, one midterm is worth it, right? 010
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Sure, let's remove ALL sanctions from murderous, authoritarian, war-machine countries, impose zero tariffs, and make Canada suffer for our insufferable greed. I'm sure Belarus will be an invaluable ally. We are fully exposed as untrustworthy, greedy fucks. 1/2 110
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Beware of confusing what gives you power with what keeps you free. 040
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 20/09/2026All this to stop billions of people, from all over the world, pissing on his grave. 000
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The whole rhetoric around unregulated AI is: "something, something... China." In reality it's about corruption in the White House and fast money for the tech bros. The truth is that China has a comprehensive regulatory system for AI. We shouldn't have to fear AI; regulate the tech AND data centers. 0163
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 17/09/2026That's exactly right & I've been saying it for years. At his core, he's an abuser/rapist & needs to be treated as that & only that. How many abused spouses have heard the whole 'you can't live without me' line? 061
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 17/09/2026And, most importantly - for the Trump will be Trump crowd - he's been acting on the plan ever since. How is it possible for Canada to 'negotiate' when they know what the goal is? It's economic warfare/terrorism. 000
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Yes, yes indeed. Don't worry, though, we're in the Golden Age...King Meidas is on top of it. 010
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A more succinct message: When he wants something, he uses the full power of the presidency to get it. He doesn't want to help Americans, or he would. 000
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 14/09/2026...except I think the current leadership IS serious & IS a long-term threat. The goals have been set out decades ago though Heritage Foundation, are well-funded, have an entire media ecosphere, and a large percentage of our population supporting them. Treating them as non-serious is VERY risky. 000
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I actually meant the other definition of demented: behaving wildly and irrationally on account of anger, distress, or excitement. 010
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026At this point, it's less about the answer than the message relayed in the question. I'm glad Tapper asked it. Finally. 020
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026They had to travel all the way to Moscow and Kiev to figure that out? 030
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026If Piker had $250 million to donate, he wouldn't be a problem. 031
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Because strong women see it clearly as abusive behavior and many men secretly wish they could be an abuser (of course they just interpret it as being a strong man). 010
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Next week the Irish will be the greatest threat to America... well, maybe second only to Canada. 030
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026So, Zelensky has to give his country to Putin so Americans can have cheaper stuff. Ditto with Carney and Canada. We'll NEVER hold standing as rational actors in the world again...twice elected Trump and came way too close in 2020. What is the world supposed to think of us? Not just Trump-the voters? 0162
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026No, sorry...but that's the sign of end stage authoritarianism. You can't get there until the checks & balances and courts are already compromised. 010
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Why can't he just STFU? Gawd, the easiest thing to do...just shut up & steal your money. 011
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's not likely to happen this year; but, this is one of the biggest threats for 2028. The only thing stopping them this year is that the USPS' database isn't ready. I obviously can't promise that, but that's the way SCOTUS seems to be leaning, this close to midterms. 020
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Um, he literally just signed sanctions against West Bank settlements...unequivocally condemning it. Yes, we need to go farther, but he's no Zionist. Use Google. 201
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Is anyone reporting it? Anyone at all in mainstream media? 010
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I wonder if they'll figure out they'll get a bill for $6000 (or whatever, up to infinity $) because the government had to borrow $1.2 Trillion to pay them $5000. 000
OldWhiteLady @oldwhitelady.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Apparently we've done not enough and destroyed everything. I say this with gravity and deep sorrow. On this day, though, I just want to mourn it all in solidarity with allies like you. 180
