This is exactly how we have to start taking; and we have to start talking like this right now. This is the way.

I’m a college professor, and although it’s easy to mock and ridicule this fool, to hear the President say that Harvard is a threat to democracy is chilling. This will invariable lead to a much bigger social movement against academia. It must not be allowed to succeed.

President Obama found “The idea of intentionally trying to deceive people in their most vulnerable moments” particularly upsetting at a 2024 rally. He was right then and he’s right now.

Irony: those who fly the Gadsden "Don't Tread on Me” flag, a symbol of resistance against oppression, are the same who support the greatest governmental power grab in our history. What they call freedom is actually privilege. Their closed minded views can’t understand what freedom really is.

So…..isn’t this the very situation all of these 2nd amendment “patriots” were waiting for? Isn’t this the tyranny they were warning us about and planning to defend us against? I mean, I’m just asking questions here…

The President of Lithuania showed our fallen troops more respect than the President of the United States. How sad, what we have become.

So everyone’s 401K is in the shitter, the price of literally everything is going to go up, and the President of the United States blew off 4 dead soldiers and their families to attend a fucking golf tournament. And that’s just this past week. But hey, the Gulf of America, right?

He’s wants countries to buy their way out of the tariffs. Not to us, to him. He’s going to personally gain from this. We’ll never know how more than likely, and it more than likely will be more than he who gains from this, but make no mistake, he’s profiting off of this.

So, uh, anyone happen to be paying attention to Beto? He’s out there crushing it at town halls and from I’m seeing he’s not getting much coverage. That really should change because he’s seriously telling it like it is.

And when questioned, their response will be smug, defensive, and to place the blame on the reporter. I guarantee it. Watch.

Saw a video talking about a new “People’s Party” in response to the Bernie/AOC events growing in popularity. Kinda has a nice ring to it.

34,000 people. On a weekday. In March. In Colorado. Something’s happening. If you’re paying attention you can feel it. It’s nowhere near what we need, but it’s a good start.

Calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme, making it difficult for people to register, and potentially cutting services is frightening, insulting, and damaging to millions of Americans. This may be what tips things to get us out in the streets. Maybe?? We’ll see I suppose.

We’re going to go through this again in six months. Will he vote with them again? We deserve to know if the leadership of our party is going to fight or cave.

This is why Schumer cannot continue as leader. This is utterly irresponsible coming from someone in a leadership position during the hostile takeover of our democracy. This is ridiculous.

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 17/03/2025
Where are our former Presidents? What are they waiting for? What exactly are we doing? How incredibly sad it is to watch our former and current leaders watch us all go down, knowing we are essentially helpless without them. Unforgivable.

This is a great article discussing the importance of higher education speaking out against the mounting authoritarianism of the Trump administration. Terrifying, but great. Definitely worth 15 minutes.

I don’t believe resistance is enough. I don’t believe opposition is enough. I believe we need to revolt. We need to show them just how much our freedoms and traditions mean to us. We need to show them how fiercely we are will to fight for them. I believe we need to start within our own party.

I know it’s early, but I’d be really happy if this was test balloon for a possible run. I think everything about him is an antidote for what we have right now; folksy, smart, relatable, experienced in governing, and still able to communicate in a very straightforward, digestible way. He’s real.

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 15/03/2025
Fuck that and fuck him. This is very straightforward; we’re right and they’re wrong. This our country and our democracy. If they don’t want to be a part of it they can get the fuck out. We should do absolutely nothing to help them and everything possible to obstruct and stop them. Every time.

This is equal parts eloquent, timely, and terrifying. Senator Schiff laying out or situation clearly and in the most sober language I’ve heard so far. Well worth 3 minutes of your day.

I would definitely leave the Democratic Party at this point, but as a New Yorker I want to be able to vote for whoever primaries Schumer and Gillibrand.

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 14/03/2025
I just heard someone say that it took Schumer 74 years to grow a pair and it was so uncomfortable for him that he gave them back within 24 hours and I’ll never be the same again.

We’re being laughed at. Schumer must be replaced as leader.

The Democratic Party is rapidly approaching a well needed purge of those who refuse to or are incapable of fighting. They’ve coasted for far too long and become so out of touch they couldn’t beat a man who blatantly told the country he was going to rule as a dictator. Time to regroup and rebrand.

If the DOGE team wants to find some money to save, they should remove chiropractic care from the medical coverage of the democrats.

We need more of this type of messaging from Jeffries. I’m quick to criticize him, so let me say that I think this is way better messaging and I hope we see a lot more from him just like this. Drop the performative, above-it-all nonsense and get dirty with the rest of us. Refreshing. Much needed.

Decorum? Civility? Reverence? If democrats want to respect a rapist traitor trying to destroy our country they can do so from the privacy of their own homes, not elected office. This is a real fight with real consequences for real people. Get with it or get out of the way.

Anyone of a certain age remembers Baghdad Bob. Anyone who doesn’t should look him up, because this is what it looks like in 2025. What a pathetic, ineffectual political party the democrats have shown themselves to be. How sad. How dangerous.

The Prime Minister of Canada is more effectively communicating to us about what Trump is doing to us than the democratic leadership, by a lot. That’s a problem that cannot be allowed to continue.

This is what it looks like when an elected leader has a genuine connection with their constituents and hears what they say. This is leadership. She’s plugged in and it shows. This is also why they hate her.
