So let me get this straight: a war of choice unilaterally declared by one man is causing death and destruction at a cost of $1B+ per day? And it's driving up prices everywhere to the point where corporations are now asking for taxpayer funded bailouts? Is this what the "New Golden Age" looks like?

The current U.S. President is angered by a parody of a dinner celebrating the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution. THT’s Commander Lawrence might call that an “An Irony Deficiency” of epic proportions. bsky.app/profile/nyti...

Really need everyone to take a good look at how well the richest people in America have done in the last year. The rest of us got higher healthcare and electric bills, food assistance cuts, price hikes, and ICE terrorizing our communities. What are we doing here?

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces. ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation. Let’s start there.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
