treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Dumpy said killing ~5% of the US population was a SMALL price to pay… killing 1 out of every 23 people in the US! And his audience LAUGHED. Wtf. Who ARE these people who support such a soulless greedy idiot? 000
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Does non-reporting vary by institution? By “level” or size? By survivors class or race? Know many women who didn’t report. Think if framed as, “report, you’ll help protect others from this” it may have helped, but given lack of real consequences for perpetrators, that’s a hard sell. 000
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Like to see this broken down by age. Aging baby-boomers? Retirements during COVID? Election officials used to be really old, few came back after COVID. Wonder if fewer volunteering in general. Older people learned to use the internet to buy necessities without going out, the ones I know still do. 000
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The 18 year rule for govt officials gives too much power to corporations and lobbyists which exist forever. Overturn citizens United and then I might support term limits… For Supreme Court, dk... But being a drunk or a rapist should be disqualifying at the outset... 000
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Even though I love Bernie, I think ALL govt officials should go at 75 years old. If they’re still cognizant, which some definitely are, they can serve the public good in other capacities. Yes they have experience, but again, can serve in other capacities. The world changes. 100
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Justification for shooting him in the back - he was armed and running? Running from where there’s been a shooting is normal. Seems the NRA would be all over this… But being ARMED is read as “guilt“ for people of color, protesters, and the poor. Witness statements? Video? 1120
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The stupidity is NOT because people share ideology, but rather due to money in politics. Most (and the most egregious) idiots are Republican because the Oligarchs want stupid spineless servants and Republicans believe in giving business what it wants (even when it’s killing their own grandchildren). 000
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Republican Ron Johnson of WI is also an idiot, always challenging Tuberville for title of stupidest clown. But Tuberville does set the bar high on stupidity. 110
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Maybe a small percentage of men are rapists, but that small percentage are very active and cause a lot of suffering. From my understanding, rapists can’t be fixed thru therapy. Repeat offenders (most offenders) might best be gelded. At a minimum, guys, mark & eliminate rapist buddies. They’re toxic. 150
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Is that a new rule in MN? No on-water refueling? I swear last time I was there, boats pulled up to the dock and a kid pumped the gas… like old-time gas stations where someone else did the fueling. 010
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 24/09/2026You often don’t know what the bottom-line cost to you will be, even with insurance. So many people avoid preventative medical care due to the uncertainty. The US does not have a functioning health CARE system. 000
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 24/09/2026To be fair, Tafoya hates Minnesotans so much she wants to be part of the Republican mob that steals their healthcare, bankrupts small businesses, raises prices, destroys family farms, and rewards rich cronies. Is there a contradiction? 011

treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The US caste system. Immigrants do the hardest backbreaking labor, harvesting, caring for the aged, processing meats, milking, cleaning, etc., at below market wages with no certainty, no healthcare, uncertain status, no access to Soc Sec they pay into. Thugs now hunt them for fun, with impunity. 000
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I’ve found this to be true in every group of women where the topics come up. Even a 80yo relative with her group of friends, 65% had been raped. Not a new problem, but new that people talk about it, as they’d all suffered the after-effects in silence. 1100

treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Confused. Is “they“ here the people of Michigan who made their own choice of who they want to represent them?

treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Serial killings. Mass murder the girls school in Iran. Institutional murders, ICE and the concentration camps.

treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 05/08/2026People already voting, Hong’s main competitors dropped out, anyone who voted absentee for one of THEM gets no vote (plug for ranked choice voting, at least in primaries), Crowleys the only other option and given he dropped out then re-entered, there’s little momentum. Think Hong will be candidate. 100
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Yes, but in-person absentee voting already started last week. 011
treeelf.bsky.social @treeelf.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Republicans WANT Hong as the opponent. They funneled money to an ‘independent’ org to run supporting ads.
