Tom S. @tcstoll.bsky.social · 14/10/2026There's absolutely nothing on earth Dems love more than Republicans who to vote for them. That's why they spend so much time and energy courting them. 000
Tom S. @tcstoll.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Circumstances keep handing Dems what should be the most easily winnable elections and they keep fucking it up.... or do they? Maybe they're not really trying to win. When a "D" does win, it's almost in spite of the party. 000
Tom S. @tcstoll.bsky.social · 12/10/2026ICE has kidnapped, brutalized and murdered people, established and operated concentration camps where people have been abused and died. There is no room compromise. ICE must be abolished. People must be prosecuted. Any D politician who calls for anything less is not on our side. 010

Reposted by Tom S.Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 09/10/2026Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it. 7785207
Tom S. @tcstoll.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The death penalty, however it's carried out, is barbaric. Maybe carrying it out in public will highlight the barbarism and turn public opinion against it. But then a lot of U.S. Americans appear to have no problem with barbarism. 000

Tom S. @tcstoll.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Look, Trump *is* dumb (and mean and poorly-informed and ...). But most of our current problems aren't caused by those things. They're caused by Trump being an intensification of U.S. practices, not a radical departure from them. 010
