Dissolve the repug party. Disenfranchise all repugs. Arrest and convict the current administration, major donors, authors of Project 2025. Buses should pull up to the Capital, take all repug pols, including 6 Supremes, to summer camp at Camp Lajeune. Fumigate the White House. New Constitution.

Wow! I knew they were fascists, but this is a new level EVIL. This what MAGA will become, if it's not there already.

This is great. Yes, it's the economy, stupid. It always has been. Focus your message.

If only the people who should see this would, but they won't. Even if they saw it, they wouldn't believe it. They are lost to us forever.

There is handwriting on the wall. USS Abraham Lincoln and turning our backs on the future of warfare. Are we listening?

Maybe it is only relevant to boomers who remember we we had inspirational leaders. Yes, it's AI, but nicely done.

Some perspective. We've got a lot of growing up to do. Bozo is not unique, just dumber. When we come out on the other side we owe the world several apologies. We should join the International Criminal Court and give up our permanent seat on the Security Council along with the veto.

Preaching to the choir here. Most know this, but some of your friends, neighbors, family don't. She has a few facts which may be new to you. Know them. Have a plan. I'm working on that. If you have one, share it.

Come America 2.0, I can't guarantee all issues will be addressed, but they should be. There will be no wealth advantage. Public financing. No donations. No advertising. Nomination will be by IQ and USCIS tests, PBS and NPR interviews and RCV. Open to anyone with ideas and plans. No parties.

I teared up, but wish it didn't have to be. We need to remove our putin puppets and give Ukraine all it needs. The sooner this is over the better. Note: The puppets exist at all levels and in all branches.

Long, but well worth the time. Insightful. It's almost everything you wanted to know about MAGA. There is some hope but not if we keep doing what we're doing, which is nothing but expecting an election to make it all right. Worth your time. Watch and learn.

A shout-out to the future of Utah (Gabby and friend) and to show just how stupid being a billionaire can be. Really flip flops? Fear mongering at its most inane.

Great symbolism.

FYI. This must be one of the first things we address. We look at monopolies. We look at market control. And we pump as much money and resources (reporters, editors, producers) as makes sense into the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (home of PBS and NPR). We must own the news.

Our time is coming when we will sing "land of the free and home of the brave" and it will mean something.

I agree. Not sure the pretext, but the 6 corrupt Supremes will invalidate the 2028 election. Every election which didn't go their way, probably voter fraud (caused by the repugs). May declare martial law as it appears they have lost. Grab the ballots and run. Not sure what the military will do.

Dennis Hanks @wasatchu.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
Yes, and they will continue to think and act this way until they learn how to be Americans. If we expect to become the America we should be with Liberty and Justice for All, they cannot be a part of our political system. Dissolve the repug party. Disenfranchise repugs. Arrest and try the leaders.

Dennis Hanks @wasatchu.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Yes and no. The battle is between fascism and Americanism (liberty and justice for all). The fascists at the top are prodding and goading those at the bottom to fight others at the bottom, but they would anyway. Money just gives them a louder voice. The enemy is fascism, rural reactionaries.

We can question the numbers, but not the methods. We need mail-in ballots, regional processing centers, and human and electronic oversight. We should be able to determine districts strictly on the basis of population. Use zip codes and or census tracts. Start at the most populous and go from there.

If ever there was food for thought. Not sure this is true in Utah, but it would be true in Texas. Here, it is lead a horse to water. Couldn't be easier to register or vote (so far). You can't make them drink. So, what do you do?

A top US general doesn’t “walk out” over nothing. If reports are even partly true, this is what breakdown looks like: - Pressure for escalation, military resistance, nuclear rhetoric entering the room. That’s not strength. That’s instability at the highest level. youtube.com/watch?v=p3Dy...

National Referendum Probably not there yet, but given the dysfunction of Congress, when we Restructure, I hope we have something like a National Referendum where our voice can be heard and heeded. Anybody who wants a voice can speak with a few clicks. This for recall, but it could be for any issue.

Important analysis. Not what you want to hear, but what you should. Stupidity comes with a cost. One we shouldn't have to pay. Generals when are you going to do something? These are your people, protect them.

Dennis Hanks @wasatchu.bsky.social · 14/03/2026
No authority, but I think this paints the hell awaiting the Marines and any other troops we try to bring ashore. Iran is a series of rugged mountains made for defense. I hope we have generals who will put a stop to this madness. Take care of your men.

Probably won't reach the right audience, but let's get the truth out there. They're making up justifications as they go. Child killers and child rapists must face justice.

Unity I hear the cry for unity. But with whom? There was a time when we practiced unity. We would argue, fight, and get angry, but then we would compromise. I get a little, you get a little. Compromise, then cooperate. Those days are gone. The other side is a cult. You can't compromise with a cult.

What's below is called moral circles. It's what differentiates liberals (WOKE) from conservatives (MAGA). The more circles the more liberal. Tends to explain rural conservatism, isolation. One reason 1945 to 1965 saw social progress. We got to know each other because of WWII. It may be simplistic.

I don't know how this will happen, but it must. The corruptive power of wealth must be broken. A progressive tax code would help, but RICO would shine the blinding light of truth on the fascist quest to extinguish the light of our democracy. Thiel, musk, and others must pay. They have hurt too many.

In case you are getting discouraged. This is what Americans should do. This is what WOKE is all about: taking care of one another. Thanks Minnesota.

An encouraging sign. We might get the troops we need. Crossing fingers. They disobey, he goes crazy, does something really stupid (kill protesters), and we get our country back.

FYI: What is the difference between the Insurrection Act and Martial Law? While often confused, the Insurrection Act and martial law are distinct legal concepts in the United States. The primary difference lies in who remains in control of the government: under the Insurrection Act,
