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.

He’s nothing more than an amplifier of all of the worst of what we are as a society. He’s a vehicle for the B-team to have a seat at the table. Their performance is exactly why we don’t let the B-team start. If this was a movie it would be criticized as over the top.

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…

I wouldn’t doubt he tried to use all of these firms to try to stay in office.

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

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

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?

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

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.

They should change the name from the Republican Party to the Guilty Party. It’s much more accurate.

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

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.

If they were democrats the GOP would be holding hearings on how much the trip cost. The democrats? Crickets.

This is disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves and I hope the practice goes under as a result of this. Traitors.

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.

Exactly. Politics has always been about compromise. No one ever gets everything. It’s about the big things at the big moments. And right now there are plenty of big things. Good for you. We need more people thinking along the same lines.

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

I will not be surprised when we get to the next election cycle and there remains the “but I don’t really like how they voted on issue A, so I’m not sure.” The house is on fire and democrats complain about the quinoa burning. Every time. Never fails.

It would be just as bad, but I think a little less insulting, if they weren’t just so incredibly stupid.

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.

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

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.

000

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

I understand your point Joyce and I don’t mean this to be sarcastic, truly, but I don’t believe any of us are safe now. As a college professor I fear for my colleagues at high profile universities already, and we’re not six months in.

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.

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I find it incredibly sad that no one of any impact has taken him up on his challenge, while legions of ordinary citizens who have no impact are ready to do just that.

Can’t qwhite figure that one out… Maybe it’s the racist traitor part about our administration but hey, what do I know.

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

I’m honestly not confident we’re up to it. We’ve become such a complacent society I don’t know that we’re up to the fight in enough numbers. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m not sure that I am.

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 agree 100%. I don’t believe Gillibrand is much better either. She’s seems so much more out of touch. She’s never really struck me as up to it. Her social media is utterly out of touch. That may seem unfair, but when we’re being taken over like we are, to not be addressing it is almost criminal.

020

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

They may represent NY, but they sure as hell don’t represent us anymore. This is embarrassing. I’m sure they’re thinking because they have so much time before they’re up for re-election they’ll be fine. Wrong.

Thomas Coleman @thomascoleman.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

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.

As a lifelong New Yorker, the only thing keeping me from leaving the Democratic Party is voting against both of my senators in primaries. I look forward to either joining a new party or being part of a New Democratic 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.
