I read Dee Brown's book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee when it was first published. I suggest that they read it. Published in 1971, still timely, relevant, and insightful.

Oh yes. Speaking for myself, mortified, horrified, humiliated, embarrassed, in a wild state of rage and defiance. All the best to you Canadians, out good neighbors to the north.

Some "aide"(groveling follower) needs to break it to him that it isn't his call, that lots of things in the world are not his call, and there's going to be unified global push-back. Then we need to make that happen. The toddler needs to be told NO.

I'm a US citizen, and I don't see how I can ever trust the voters of this country again. Roughly 77 million of them seem capable of dangerously bad judgement, which brought us to where we are now.

I am donating the $90 bribery attempt check from Donald to an organization working to stop him from stealing the November election. Donald has donated $90 to a group fighting his attempts to sabotage our free and fair elections.

Off topic, Donald's $90 bribery check. I am donating the $90 to a voting rights organization that is working to keep our election free and fair, and fighting his attempts to steal the election. Donald will have donated to a group fighting his election attacks.

I'm diagnosed on the autism spectrum and I spend a good bit of my life in that community. I don't believe for one instant that he's on the spectrum. I have no idea what his reasons are for claiming that, he must believe it benefits himself in some way. He's closer to sociopath, IMO.

Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

I'm a "senior" on Medicare. I voted straight Democratic in my early vote mail-in ballot. Under no circumstances will I EVER vote Republican. It sickens me that so many US citizens fell for the huckstering of this sociopathic megalomaniac.

Patty Quinn @pattyq.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

This is why the outcome for Democrats in November has to be lopsided, a massive turnout. We have to outnumber them in elections. Republicans have been winding them up to a frothing-at-the-mouth fanatical frenzy, and they turn out to vote.

He needs to be hit with a wall of solidarity and resolve from all the institutions with power that he's been picking on--law firms, universities, an assortment of businesses. All bullies are cowards.

Patty Quinn @pattyq.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Plenty of people expected this kind of thing in 2016. The press first showed solidarity, but that is crumbling. Donald backs down when he hits a wall of solidarity and resolve, and he isn't confronting enough of it.

Thoughts on J.D.-of-the-smudged-eyeliner-Vance. If I had a phone call, someone telling me my husband had called for married women to lose the vote, my next phone call would be to my lawyer. What did his wife have to say about that, FFS?

Proximity to wealth and power means more to them than the survival of our democratic republic does. I will never forget the cowardice, greed, and lust for power of so many people who could have stopped this years ago, but instead were accomplices.

We've been watching them kiss his ring for years, watching their cowardice and greed. Proximity to power and wealth means more to them than the survival of this democratic republic. It would be foolish to trust them.

Mike Johnson, that little elf on a shelf, sent members of Congress home for a holiday, until after November elections, on our tax dollars. We're paying them not to work so he can block votes that won't work to GOP advantage.

Just about the worst possible example these administrators can give to the young people they are educating. It reminds me of the high school administrators who burned Kurt Vonnegut's book Slaughterhouse Five decades ago, for students to see. Borders on child abuse.
