You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Trump thinks he’s all powerful and outside the accountability of the law, he is not. Not yet, at least.

Anybody going to address Trump’s repeated violation of the gag order imposed against him which goes without penalty, @weissmann11.bsky.social ? Maybe if he actually spent time in a jail cell Americans wouldn’t lose all faith for our degraded Justice system.

Someone should ask the Pontiff, while he’s busy choosing to erase the judaism from Jesuses birth, what cloth does he think baby Kfir Bibas, held hostage by Palestinian terrorists for 429 days now, with his little brother and mother, is swaddled in this Christmas season?

Trump has not APPOINTED anyone. He has NOMINATED them. Presidents do not have the power to appoint cabinet officials or judges — only to nominate them and send them to the Senate for confirmation or rejection. The words MATTER. Don’t give Trump power he doesn’t have.

Do people understand how fluoride in drinking water works? You drink water & fluoride ends up in your saliva. As you salivate, fluoride constantly bathes your teeth repairing enamel damaged by acids released through the metabolism of sugars. Without that, decay will be rampant.

A tariff is a TAX. The company pays it — then passes along the cost as a price increase to YOU. So Donald Trump is raising YOUR taxes 25% — in January.

Looking forward to the JD Vance tweet criticizing journalists for not knowing that this symbol is really a Hakenkreuz and that a Kreuz is a cross and therefore a Christian symbol and thus these fine young men are victims of a conspiracy and beyond any possible critique.

Supporting Jews may be a “wildly unpopular agenda” to some but we have a name for that opinion and throughout time it has proven to be on the wrong side of history. Democrats should be talking about the #Antisemitism in their Party and how it continues to push voters away.👇🏻 @aoc.bsky.social

Quick question on Trump’s plan to take away birthright citizenship by executive order: Baron Trump’s date of birth is March 20, 2006. But Melania Trump didn’t become a citizen until July 28, 2006. Doesn’t this mean that under his policy, Trump would have to deport his own son?
