Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 23mI have to say, a moment of silence (lack of bots, or whatever you’d like to call it) from the bombed Russian data centers has been a breath of fresh air. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Sorry, but if “They’re eating the cats and the dogs!” wasn’t enough on the campaign trail to warn you this was gonna be a rough ride, I’m really not sure what else to tell you. 010
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The great mystery of the “4D chess” of the current administration is not that it’s some convoluted, brilliant plan. It’s that they’re easily manipulated morons who are following a script (Project 2025) badly. That’s it. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 27/09/2026To those who think global AI regulation is impossible, it is not. The companies that oppose it aren’t doing so for fear of the challenge, they’re doing so for fear of dealing with regulation. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I’m honestly impressed he could get an architect to agree to work with him after his history of nonpayment. 2130
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Politics make a lot more sense when you realize we aren’t, and never were the target audience of Republican announcements. The PACs and billionaire donors always were. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Getting real tired of the President getting set off by something, and using the full force of his position to try and do the equivalent of swatting a fly with a rocket launcher for petty retribution. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 09/09/2026A troubling pattern I often see is that public servants at the highest levels misuse their position, and instead of being fined themselves, the entity they work for (state, etc) is forced to pay. That isn’t accountability. That’s using the government as a shield to avoid accountability. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The most frustrating part of politics right now is the lack of accountability. Do you want to show people that the system works? Hold. People. Accountable. Yes, even those at the very top. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I don’t care what we have to rename with “America” or “Trump” in the name, so long as he gets impeached and faces real, tangible accountability that gives some minimal level of confidence that the system works. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Media - “Mitch McConnell’s absence from the public light is now raising questions about transparency.” The rest of us - You’re just NOW noticing??? 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I just want to check with republicans: If you win an election by suppression, etc. I get that you just care that you won this hypothetical. But stop trying to claim you love democracy. There is nothing democratic about suppressing votes. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 31/08/2026It is a truly odd strategy to publicly support one of the most unpopular stances that has ever been brought up. Or at least it would be if it was anyone else. For Trump, it’s just a standard bad decision amongst many. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I understand the inclination to argue the history and logic of why it is called Lake Ontario versus Lake America. The problem is you’re arguing with an idiot that doesn’t care. He’s just doing it to distract from the Epstein Files, the horrible economic status, and the record low approval ratings. 110
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Still waiting on those 2nd amendment enthusiasts to rise up against a tyrannical dictator trying to take over the government. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Fire and prosecute RFK Jr Fire and prosecute Pete Hegseth Fire and prosecute Stephen Miller Fire and prosecute Marco Rubio Prosecute Elon Musk Fire and prosecute JD Vance Fire and prosecute Donald J. Trump This isn’t hard. The ones who can fix this just refuse to. 001
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 18/08/2026With the news that the US has imposed sanctions on International Criminal Court President Tomoko Akane, Republicans are scrambling to rationalize thinking that everyone can be corrupt except for them. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 17/08/2026- Am I discriminating against someone’s opinion because of their looks? Their age, speech patterns, height, weight, gender orientation? Not okay -Discriminating against someone because of a fascist opinion, or the idea that certain people shouldn’t exist? Totally okay 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I miss the days when we could eat fresh greens without worrying about diarrhea. I miss the days when we could rely on our ability to get immunizations every year without worrying on the price tag. I miss the days when the CDC said something and it wasn’t taking away safety. #KickOutRFKJr 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Apparently, Republicans expect that we pay $30k/yr on coffee and avocado toast. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The news: GOP Industrialists realize their policies have slowly been eroding the middle class People who pay attention: This is a joke, right? We’ve been saying this for years and you never believed us. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The American Dream used to be a promise: Work a 9 to 5 job and you could have a home and a family under one income, with enough extra for some luxuries. Now, most 9 to 5 jobs are actually 8 to 5, and being a salaried worker means you work overtime for free. The home and luxuries? Forget it. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Please tell me there’s a plan for when Blanche inevitably tries to pull something during the midterms 040
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 10/08/2026So, now that Todd “I’m his lawyer” Blanche has been confirmed, is there a plan to stop him from fighting election results? I mean other than fight it in court. I’m sick of having to claw back every bit of decency every time an election occurs, and only ending up with partial success. 000

Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Interesting talking to Conservatives about Fauci’s hearing, and subsequently about how they’ll never forgive Fauci for “what he did.” When asked further, most complaints seem to be that his decisions for public health inconvenienced them so they couldn’t see others as easily. Yep, that’s it. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Conservatives want to run the government like a business. Two problems with that: 1. The government provides amenities and services to the public. These are for the public good, not for government profit. 2. Even if profit was favorable, they’re consistently making choices to tank profitability. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 25/07/2026I don’t know if you’ve got the backing of the spineless republicans, but I am 110% behind this effort! Thank you, Congressman! 1401
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Living wages and free/affordable healthcare are the difference between a desperate workforce and a happy workforce. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Some days I like to remind myself that corporations get more rights than me, and my vote only counts a fraction as much as others because of where I live. This is the same issue disguised as two issues. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I know he hasn’t been in the news as recently, but how has RFK Jr not been kicked out yet with the rising issue on *checks notes* literally everything health related? 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Trump is claiming we need the SAVE act to ensure Republicans can win the next election. The catch? Most Republican voters don’t have the funds to get the upgraded ID or passport required, which ironically would favor democrat voters. Even still, it’s unnecessary and unfair for election integrity. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Every time you think he’s hit a new low, Trump proves that when it comes to the race to the bottom, he’s determined to come in first place. 010
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Ossoff did a masterful job here, to be clear 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Trump’s cronies are subject to being loyalists to a delusional man whose health is waning quickly, and for what? Temporary power, only to be subject to the high likelihood of Nuremberg-like Trials afterwards? We need a better quality of politician in general. 100
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Given it’s questionable whether or not Trump will even survive to the next election due to his own health, it’s a little confusing as to why he even cares. But that’s the life of a narcissist. We can’t all live forever. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Americans have many, many faults (including ignoring a lot of existing issues). But being loud about what bothers Americans is a defining trait. Once Americans start loudly complaining, telling them to stop because you aren’t fixing the problem isn’t gonna stop them. 020
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Influencers: “Mitch McConnell faking his proof of life photo could be the biggest scandal in our generation!” People paying attention: *motion around at literally everything else going on* “Sadly, no.” 020
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 14/07/2026You would think even the Republican Party would have realized the sinking ship they’re on with a dementia-ridden felon leading the charge, but they’ve been given strict orders from AIPAC that their funding will be cut off if they dare speak up. It’s past time to overturn Citizens United. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Hey Texans, remember how Ted Cruz fled to Cancun during Winter Storm Uri, when so many died? I know it’s not an election year for Ted, but it’s important to remember. 001
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 09/07/2026As if we needed yet another challenge, this is a reminder that Trump’s comment about the “Islamic Republic of Japan” firing missiles at Americans is going to make it all the harder to reconcile with our allies after all this is over. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Let’s be honest, mass reparations would be warranted for the huge number of victims that have suffered at the hands of ICE. But where would we get the funding? That’s simple. From billionaires who advocated for them to be locked up in the first place. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Here’s my hot take: Data centers are fine to build if they… Supply their own power Supply their own cooling (desalination plant is fine as an option) Don’t build next to residential Cede rights to any utilities provided after X years, in case they go under so the public isn’t footing the bill. 010
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Hear me out here…what if everyone just said no to what Trump was asking them to do? Hey, I can dream. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 29/06/2026So it’s not only not a great system to begin with, but the insurance industry is undermining even what little it is. 000
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Healthcare in the US is designed as a promise that if you work, your employer healthcare will keep you from going broke if you get sick. That way you’re less likely to leave a job for something better, serving the oligarchs in charge. The problem? Healthcare looks for ways not to cover it anyway. 110
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Respectfully, I think JD sadly does know the history here, which makes his words all the more problematic, because they’re untruthful. He’s doing what he always does: Changing the story to fit his narrative. 1315
Swift Kicking @swiftkickintheb.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Reps and Dems generally have the same take here, but drastically different solutions and end goals: The take: We cannot supply healthcare to the world without even giving healthcare for ourselves. The difference? Reps want to slash all the healthcare, Dems want to ensure everyone has it. 000
