@kenmartin.bsky.social the DNC needs to be funding billboards everywhere. They're among the most effective means of messaging now.

"Trump was recruited as a Russian Asset in '87, codename Krasnov."

Put that up on billboards on every major highway. You'll start to decay his image.

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

I've been trying to place exactly why I feel so sick about Trump telling Zelensky he's flirting with World War 3. I think I placed it.

It's because Trump has allied the US with Russia. He's threatening Z by saying the US would be the ones dropping nukes onto Ukraine and Europe alongside Russia.

Unbelievable news.

Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers.

New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three yearsβ€”far, far better than standard of care.

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

🚨 I asked ChatGPT to give me a new assessment of our situation this evening.

1-5% chance of democracy surviving
VS.
75-85% full authoritarian takeover

That 1-5% only happens if we have full economic collapse or international intervention. 🚨

Transcripts to come.

Final Answer: Trump Is Bad for Democracy
β€’ If democracy requires constant intervention to survive, then Trump is inherently harmful to it.
β€’ His policies undermine the checks and balances necessary for a functional democracy.
β€’ His governance style aligns more with authoritarianism than democratic pluralism.
β€’ His economic and security policies favor executive dominance over public accountability.
E Conclusion: Trump's second term policies and governance style are a direct threat to American democracy. If unchecked, his actions will erode democratic institutions, weaken oversight, and increase executive control, leading to long-term democratic instability or even authoritarian governance.
Would you like an assessment on specific scenarios for how democracy could collapse-or how resistance can successfully preserve it?

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went

This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers

2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon

But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof

Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

As Trump says he is going to occupy Gaza and drive out every Palestinian, after Biden completed the ceasefire deal, I'm wondering how many Palestinians are grateful to all the self righteous grandstanders who protested the last admin to help ensure that Trump gets elected.

@kenmartin.bsky.social what are you doing to ensure a surprise win in FL-1, FL-6 and NY-21?

Every resource the DNC has, every ground game volunteer needs to be out for these. Catch the GOP off guard. If Dems win these, they get the house and save the country.

People need to do a GoFundMe to purchase 50 billboards in each swing state starting now to display hard hitting truths about Trump that most wouldn't otherwise learn. They can't scroll past it. "Trump cancelled drug price reductions." "Trump raped 12yo Katy Johnson." Get ppl to question him.

The DNC should have already bought 50 billboard rentals in each swing state for 4 years. They should be displaying simple, hard hitting Trump news on them. Billboards can't be scrolled or fast-forwarded past. They're far more effective than other forms of ads. People need to know what's happening!
