Every day, President Trump demonstrates leadership traits… of the worst kind. He serves as a role-model of violence, hatred, dishonesty, insecurity, and un-empathy for Americans — and for leaders of other nations who will unfortunately follow his lead.

Maybe… just maybe: If the agency you run assassinates two innocent U.S. citizens and hurts, arrests, and disappears tons more innocent people, it should be enough to get you fired. Or step down! Your boss doesn’t need the excuse of some meglamaniac ad campaign to fire you.

Before using Iran’s murder of peaceful citizen protesters as an excuse for military action, the Trump Admin must commit to objective, apolitical investigations into the killing of Renee Goode, and the violence against peaceful citizen protestors by masked paramilitary forces in our country.

@radiofreeskaro.bsky.social #FluidLinks Imagine the Whoniverse series on adventures of the Doctor’s grownup daughter Poppy & a “tween” Susan. Both time lords? Who would play the regenerated characters? Would they be trying to find & save the Doctor? Or Poppy’s mom? Or get vengeance? Thx 4 a gr8 pod!

Democrats reopen government to stop Trump from starving poor Americans. Trump pardons his coup co-conspirator and keeps hiding Epstein files.

Why are pundits talking about election results as if people voted only on the price of eggs? Some may have voted for Trump in ‘24 and for Dems in ‘25 b/c they’ve noticed that Trump Admin is ripping down the White House and the Constitution, and turning the USA into a starving, sick hellscape.

Can the Trump Admin be sued for defamation of nonprofits? This gov’t has spent a year wasting and abusing the English language by spouting fraudulent garbage meant to diminish nonprofits that help the American people. As of yet, there’s no accountability for their string of defamatory statements.

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time.

Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles.

Star Wars is about regular people rebuilding democracy by rebelling against dictatorship. Star Wars is now owned by Disney. Disney’s subsidiary, ABC, just undermined our freedom by obeying in advance a noxious threat from Trump’s Federal Censor Commission. @georgelucassays.bsky.social — buy it back.

Don’t get distracted. Why will President Trump attack Americans with the US military to try to deflect from the Epstein Files?! Innocent people don’t act this way.
