People are bitterly divided over many issues, but the division is not helping anyone. Nor is it the case that people who actively support the destruction of democracy should be invited into a "big tent." Democracy must prevail.

Ukraine may be saving our ungrateful asses, and trump shows what a literal moron he is (20 < His IQ < 40). He is good at nothing and good for nothing. He represents a danger to all civilization. He has been successful, though, at committing treason. youtu.be/N3TZavOtCeg?...

Although it is hard to see now, before the facts have progressed, Ukraine is our bulwark against Russia, and to a certain extent, China. That orange nothingburger squatting in Washington. DC is a traitor who is delivering Ukrainian suffering and death to the madman Putin on a silver platter. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇦

Well-intentioned and good-natured people. including those in the pro-democracy movement, do not understand this fact: trump *is going to* try to subvert the outcome of the midterms. Civil war, say some in the cult, is on their menu of options. This is maga. #Midterms #maga youtu.be/8lBda39Su4s

It is looking more and more like trump and his magats plan to cheat *after* election day, with seizing ballots, making the same false statements we have heard before, and random acts of political violence. We (the people) must counter this with calm determination . Then we'll be the sane ones

Magats like to demonize us in Minnesota. They talk about the evil commie-Democrat government. They must mean they hate public roads and transportation and libraries and schools and parks, police, and other things we ask the government to steward public money for. Ugh! "Socialism!"

This new association of pro-decency, anti-dictatorship groups and persons is identified by adherence to principles. Democracy. Concern for our neighbors. Positive and achievable goals for economic growth. A health care system that works for everyone. Regardless of politics, religion or identity.

More importantly, although taxpayers are being asked to pay for agencies that serve the public, the flip side is that no one will have to go into bankruptcy because of hospital bills from accidents or pregnancy.

This is not altogether different from the "before times," before we got this evil maniac in the White House. Social Security, Medicare, clinics to treat STD's, the postal service, the military, national parks, libraries, public schools, busses, and much more.

In fact, Social Democrats and others believe the government is there to serve people, and not the other way around. Government is represented as being a fiduciary steward, in which they make decisions about spending *public* funds. This means, yes, taxpayers will fund the health care system.

Is the US becoming more like Iran? You'd think trump would relate to the authoritarianism, the violent repression of political opposition, suppression of women, abuse of dissidents. Oh, wait. I forgot. Iran is still an enemy. It's the *North Korean* authoritarian who trump is in love with.

The problem that the free press, which is currently under attack (9/19/2026), is having, is treating emissions from the White House as sane and reasonable. They are *neither*. The situation demands energized and persistent opposition. VOTE! 🇺🇸

I worry, and I'm not temperamentally disposed to worry, that unless political forces are unleased *in extremis* the conflict in the US that is now largely (not totally) political may well devolve into violence. We're worth better than that. One thing is paramount: VOTE! 🇺🇸

Urban Gladiator @urban-gladiator.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
The time to fight is now, when the "polemic" battle is mostly political. Consider the alternative! If the dictatorship project is allowed to succeed, Americans will not sit idly by and just let it be. I don't want to feed any rumors, but consider what type of "polemic" we are headed for.

Urban Gladiator @urban-gladiator.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Friends, There is no escaping the national polemic. It's real. Polemic= from Greek πολεμος (polemos), which means a battle, a conflict, a war. We are having a largely political battle but a serious one: the attempted destruction of free press now (Sept 19, 2026).

Oddly enough, the story in Genesis (Adam and Eve) has God forbidding them to eat from the tree "in the midst of the garden" (KJV). The serpent then advises Eve that they would be "as gods, knowing good from evil" (Gen. 3:5). So it was specifically the *knowledge of evil* that was forbidden.

Do we really want to continue this charade of pretending that trump does not pose an existential threat to the existence of the human race? He's very ill, mentally and physically. And the nuclear button is his to use.
This is a depiction of trump pointing his finger at something. The background of the photo shows a fiery nuclear mushroom cloud.

I know that is true, from heart-rending experience. Hatred is like a drug that feels good at first. Maybe you feel a little bit superior to the object of your scorn ("or even quite a lot superior," a friend reminds me). But soon you end up harming yourself and others. It's just not worth it.

One reason there is so much crime is the decay of societal norms, already approaching the tipping point (as with climate), accelerated by the trump-musk-epstein class. I don't have the One True Answer, but it's important enough that it *should* be discussed. Not just reacted to. 🇺🇸🤝🇨🇦 (hopefully)

It's easy to look at our sorry state and say, "simply use common sense." I have it on good authority that people living in other countries have national identity problems too. They may not be as big, as glaring, as unethical, as violent. But they exist.

I try not to react emotionally, but on top of gerrymanders and the return of government-sponsored Jim Crow 2.0, it's not hard to detect the blatant, undisguised racism that permeates the small-minded magats' small brains. I still have enough optimism to believe we WILL survive this. Their ideal:
