Democracy Matters!

@democracymatters

Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

It was a lie, not an opinion. A blatant and obvious lie. Something he knew was a lie. And not just another one of the hundreds of lies he tells every day - a lie about the killing of at least 175 people, mostly girls who were attending school. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Issue isn’t just oil β€” it’s physical supply chains. Chemicals, components, plastics and industrial inputs all move through the same shipping routes. Not good if others follow. Severe supply chain disruption globally.

presumably for their jobs and not their physical safety, at least not yet β€” that they have followed suit and walk around in shoes they don’t even like to please the boss β€” just so he doesn’t fire them.

The president of the United States is so insecure that he demands the people around him wear the same shoes that he has on, or he will be unhappy. In fact, U.S. government officials are now so afraid β€”

The dictator's new shoes? Trump demands his subordinates wear the same footwear. With revelations about a bizarre footwear fetish, the president joins a long line of autocrats throughout history by insisting that his subordinates copy his style β€” or else.

But apparently… it is real. Donald Trump reportedly has a footwear fetish. He’s testing the loyalty of his lieutenants by whether they’ll lace up in the same black shoes he wears. And yes, it’s creepy.

This is such a classic dictator trope β€” forcing subordinates to copy your style β€” that I thought it couldn’t possibly be real. Think Mao Zedong and the β€œMao Suit,” or Saddam Hussein and β€œThe Mustache", or Joseph Stalin and the β€œGeneralissimo” outfit.

NEWS β€” Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.

β€œEverybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.

We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs β€” including nearly two million children.

The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.

Priorities.

Oh man OK so like this is terribly bad, but from a strategy standpoint this is a hot move. The reason the Russians can't topple Ukraine is cause instead of spending 10M on a tank from the 70s, they sent dudes on e bikes with NLAWs for a fraction of the cost to blow up said tanks

This was my second visit to the ICE facility in Baltimore. Each time, it made the hair stand up on my arms.

The conditions are inhumane, and the treatment of people is unacceptable.

Instead of lowering gas prices, this Administration chooses to spend its time on this CRUELTY.
