tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 09/07/2026No question about it. And SCOTUS's very nearly agreeing that his EO's can vacate a Constitutional amendment has no doubt given him further reason to dream. 000

tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Democrats should be out there saying: "When is the last time July 4th was cancelled in DC? We recognize the danger of climate change and will go out to meet it head-on. Donald Trump doesn't care if people roast or freeze. He cares only about pleasing his billionaire energy industry donors." 021
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 26/06/2026We need to get to the point where the rich, rather keeping score by parading their wealth, are content to keep score by making public how much money the body politic periodically takes away from them for the greater good. #Musk#WealthTax#InheritanceTax 110

tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 02/04/2026There are 2 ways our (nearly former) allies can help us if they’re worried about our descent into isolationist fascism. 1) They should gather and publish intelligence on Trump’s traitorous relationship and fealty to Putin. 2). They should steal and leak the Epstein files. 011
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I’m constantly hearing from Democratic politicians that Trump is “disconnected from the needs of ordinary Americans.” Dudes! He disconnected from the needs of anyone, foreign or domestic, except Putin and the megarich. 011

tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 31/12/20251/ One of the priorities for the defense of democracy, in addition to shoring up the voting process and all that entails, must be the development of strategy to challenge Trump’s capacity simply to proclaim a state of emergency, especially on the basis of the trivialities he has employed thus far. 110

tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 29/12/2025This isn’t just Trump’s usual idiocy. This is what it looks like when the President of the United States is a willing subject and tool of a foreign enemy. 031
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 28/12/2025If he believes something this preposterously ahistorical, how is it possible that such an idiot is in charge of public health?
