How grand it is – finally! – to be witnessing Trump and Trumpism in free fall. Seems the key question now is how much more we have to suffer before we mount the courage, common sense, and collaborative effort needed to put an end to this reign of terror.

umm...well.... it is a gold-plated Jesus after all.

Kristi Noem decides to ignore 30 hard-earned and cherished environmental laws to put a fence on the Rio Grande in Texas. Here's what I'm referring to: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

I cannot endorse this view too strongly. Sydney Michalski has given us a rallying cry. It's compelling because it reveals a potent yet somehow under-recognized truth: We Are The Center Pass it on.

Maybe when Vance said in 2016 that he goes “back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a–hole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler” JD was stating his worst-case/best-case scenario. Yeah, now it all makes sense.

As always, they’re dividing people into categories and hating on the ‘not us’ group. We can be for both American citizens and ‘illegal aliens’ (such a revolting term). We’re all human beings and we can be *for* all human beings. It ain’t always easy but it’s always the right stance to take.

To say that 'Russia wants peace' in Ukraine without adding 'on its own terms' is journalistic, linguistic, and ethical malpractice.

Not sure what I find more encouraging, the fact that Fox News is covering Trump's outrageous self-dealing in office, or the nervous, hilarious responses by the squirmy Trump boys. We're at an inflection point, I'd say.

2/5/25: The Musk-Trump coup attempt will be met with a volcanic reaction by the public. That's my conviction. 3/21/25: Volcano erupting slower than desired but definitely underway. 4/2/25: It's on! Thank you, Cory Booker! 6/1/25: Volcanic reaction still growing. Blowout can't be too far off.

I was all-in for Cory Booker as our next president. And he may well still be. But man has Cory got some stiff competition! A million thanks to Gov. Pritzker for this bold and fearless speech. God almighty is this heartening and exciting to see! heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-28-2...

Very clever. And it would be even more clever by adding WASTE with a photo of J.D. Vance. Missed opportunity for now, but I'm guessing somebody picks up on it.

Most Americans strongly oppose the authoritarian takeover of our country by Trump/Musk et al. And we are beginning to stand up to stop this coup. We need to do much more than tweet/skeet about this, of course, but it's also helpful to share and discuss here on Blue Sky. We shall overcome. Onward.

As heartened as I am by the growing shock, outrage and resistance to the Mump regime coup, I am amazed there's not 10x more. I hope my envisioned level of appropriate backlash materializes lickety split. I believe it will.

A week or two before Trump II started, this thought came to mind: The world's richest man is conducting a hostile takeover of the world's richest country. Pretty astounding. And I certainly wasn't alone in this perception. In any case, here we are. I am commenting and responding as moved to do so.

Doesn't this suggest that Homan knows full well that they are violating at least some people's rights?

I wrote this on Dec 7. Guess I was a couple months too early. Trump is attacking everything that opposes him and that he doesn't like. Impeachment is in the air. Is it time to hit the streets?

This great cartoon is getting a lot of play online. The sad irony, though, is that they’re still thinking about Trump, even while in the wilderness. You can’t get away from him!

Elon Musk is a good example of how terrible people become increasingly radicalized into the far right simply because the far right is a community that accepts cruel, terrible people. It's tempting to say Elon is going "mask off", but I'd wager Elon didn't know who Tommy Robinson was 5 years ago. 1/

Here's what Trump said about H1-B immigration in January 2019. It will be interesting to see what he says next.

The number of commenters who a) take this post as a real statement and b) absolutely love the idea of the U.S. become part of Denmark–even though it's just an Andy Borowitz bit in The New Yorker–is really remarkable, speaking to the enormous desire among so many to be rid of the orange menace.

Mump. The Mump Regime. Tim Snyder just coined that term for the Musk-Trump follies. I think it's got legs.

Perhaps we're getting near the point where the billionaireification of the country jumps the shark. UHC firestorm, Musk follies, Trump's wool-pulling triumph. We the people just might be getting close to leaving our homes and offices and filling the streets. Things seem impossible until they happen.

In honor of Bobby Kennedy's 99th birthday, I'm sharing a link to a short article I wrote about RFK and his inspiration for my podcast, Wise Talkers. (The podcast itself is on hiatus, though there are six evergreen episodes up.) Here's what I wrote about Bobby: wisetalkers.com/seriously-wh...

Realizing that getting going here on bsky, after ten years on twitter, is a chance to reinvent my presence from scratch. Feels like it could be fun. Who do I want to be? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess I'm really here now. Be great if/when it gets robust enough to make it easy to drop twitter. And I guess that depends largely on me and what I do here! So I'll give it a go. Hello Bluesky mates!
