I have no idea what Elon might have done, but I do remember that there were bomb threats at multiple polling places. Who knows how many people were evacuated that planned to vote for Harris but didn't get the chance? 100
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 5hIt's getting to the point that we need cognitive function tests required to run for Federal office. Most of the GOPers are completely incompetent. 010
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 5hElon needs to be denaturalized and deported back to South Africa. AFTER he's prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned for a good long time, of course. 110
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 5hThis country is built on racism and misogyny, and over the last several decades disinformation and fearmongering have taken over our media and electoral politics. I'm very doubtful that a woman or another PoC can win the presidency until that's dealt with. President Obama was an anomaly. 110
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 5hI don't understand why not even a single Democrat did anything to question the results, especially Harris. That said, we can't do anything about the past. All we can do now is unify behind our Democratic candidates and vote the Fascists out. 030
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 12/10/2026This is how you use it when you have a large platform.

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I referred to it as Indigenous People's Day today and a relative of mine that I was talking to said "It's Columbus Day, it celebrates Italian Americans".

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 12/10/2026YouTube doesn't seem to care about its own guidelines any more. I've seen multiple videos talking about creators having videos or even entire channels demonetized or removed for nonexistent "community guidelines" violations. 010

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Term limits are like using a sledgehammer to do brain surgery. We need civics education, critical thinking skills training, automatic voter registration, universal vote by mail, ranked choice voting and mandatory voting laws. Also requiring prospective candidates to pass a security clearance. 010

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The best time to heal the country would have been after the Civil War, by prosecuting, convicting and hanging the Confederate traitors. The next best time is NOW. Vote Blue and then push your representatives to hold the regime accountable. 231
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I remember a story about Allied soldiers visiting a village near one of the concentration camps after WWII. The villagers claimed they didn't know what was going on, but you could literally smell the smoke from the crematoria. People will find ways to ignore anything uncomfortable. 000
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026We need non-partisan independent bodies to vett potential nominees for appointed office and minimum qualifications for each one. American Bar Association for judges and DOJ employees, maybe? Not sure how to manage the Cabinet, each position is on a different subject matter. 110
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026RFK Jr too. It's possible to do more than one thing at the same time. We need to get Miller and Vought out too, but I don't think their positions can be impeached. 000
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Going forward we need explicit minimum requirements for Cabinet members. SecDef should be a high ranking military officer with years of experience, not a day-drunk weekend news host. 010
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I read somewhere not long ago that if the world transitioned to renewable energy international shipping would be CUT IN HALF. We should have done it a long time ago. 041
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I really wonder how much longer he can hold on. He's not a well man, at some point the stress is going to be too much and his body is going to give out. They're probably all going to be fighting each other for power once he croaks. 100
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The idea of "deserving" vs "undeserving" poor has been around since at least the 15th Century, if I remember right. That's where the concept of work houses came from, the idea is poor folk with no other options had to do menial labor to "earn" being fed and housed. 100
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026A while back I saw a quote from an interview an American journalist did with a European rich person (I don't remember the names).

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026No, he did so because DJT had announced he was running for president and Garland didn't want to be caught between opposing sides and possibly accused of favoring one side over the other. @muellershewrote.com was reporting about all this as it was happening on her podcasts. 100
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Utterly delusional. If he didn't have so many Fascist puppeteers propping him up he'd probably be in a nursing home by now. At some point they're probably going to manufacture some sort of "security threat" to get him out of the public eye. He's embarrassing them at this point. 040

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The existence of billionaires is a sign that society isn't caring for its most vulnerable members. They need to be taxed into oblivion and that money used for the care of the needy. 010

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Reagan's incompetence and criminality and the later reveal that he had Alzheimer's while in office should have led to presidential candidates being screened for signs of cognitive decline as a condition to run and periodically while they're in office. DJT would have been screened out. 010
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026They knew things might change, that's why they included the ability to amend the Constitution when they wrote it. Unfortunately MAGA wants to go back to a time before most of the post-Bill of Rights Amendments were passed. 100

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026A certain percentage of any given population are likely to support authoritarianism. If we had a higher voter participation rate it would be easier to keep them out of power. The US participation rate in '24 was a bit over 60%.

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The slow pace of the prosecution wasn't Biden or Garland's fault. It was the MAGA sycophants in the judicial system who bent over backwards to help their cult leader escape accountability. 000

ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026People need to stop blaming Garland. He started the Investigations Unit the day he took office. Just because it wasn't called "The Treason Investigation of Donald J Trump" doesn't mean it didn't happen. The problem came from the MAGA sycophants in the judiciary slowing things down. 100
ruthkub.bsky.social @ruthkub.bsky.social · 10/10/2026If the US didn't have a veto vote at the UN they could have intervened by now. A while back there were people warning that the UN structure was a problem and needed to be changed. This is an example of why. 010
