#Republican hate & fear-mongering goes back a bit further than #Fox.

If I were to pinpoint a specific year/person, it would be 1994 when #NewtGingrich went scorched-Earth to destroy the #Democratic Party in order to win back control of the house after 40 years.

Before that, Dem Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil was good friends with Reagan. The two Parties actually worked together.

The #GOP then embraced #Evangelicals and they went to war. 😒

The nations that has been able to exploit earth resources is now demanding even more resources. #Putin and #Trump is aggressive towards neighboring countries and allies because they want their resources . #China uses not so obvious or violent tactics but they are also exploiting weaker nations.

The countries that now is on top of the resource chain demands even more. It is not #sustainable and a common denominator is the lack of #democratic control.

But we don’t live there anymore. We live in a country where the fed govt allies itself w/Russian & South American #dictators while taking sides against #democratic #allies. A country that threatens its neighbors w/annexation. A country that views the #GenevaConventions as namby-pamby suggestions that only apply to suckers & losers. A country that uses #SecretPolice.

And perhaps most importantly, a country where the regime no longer abides by rulings from the existing #legal system.

#Biden got Jimmy Cartered.
The lesson? #loyalty
Low voter turnout in a depressed electorate proves to be beneficial to the wealthy and chaotic minority of Americans.

Don't jump ship when it's sailing into the harbor. #Democratic party depressed it's crew and lost the race.
Lessons learned? Not likely.

Why the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a big deal

The resistance needs a morale boost. But its importance goes beyond that
publicnotice.co/p/crawford-sch

" #ElonMusk, has poured money into the #election...

As #Musk rampages through the federal govt & #Trump attempts to terrorize his opponents into silence... the public, the #media, the #GOP, & the #Democratic Party itself all need to be forcefully reminded that Trump is vulnerable, widely disliked, & can be defeated"

>> Chuck Schumer believes that Americans and the world would be worse off with these Republicans in charge of the USA while the government is shutdown versus keeping it open with a bad CR.You believe that you know better than does he. Why should I trust you over the Senator with so much experience and knowledge?

I never asked you to trust me.

I said I don't trust #Schumer anymore to advance the interest of the #US & #Democratic electorate.

Big Difference!

This is now beyond #Biden's and #Schumer's #virtueSignaling, spinelessness, and wobbly knees.

#Democratic LEADERS are now supporting #fascism full bore. #ChuckSchumer, #AdamSchiff, #JohnFetterman — whole lot now serving the opposition, not their constituents.

It's disingenuous to shift blame from fascist-adjacent Democratic leaders to the Democratic electorate because that sounds exactly like #Kremlin propaganda

The best way to understand the U.S. right now is as a parliamentary system where the Democrats have joined a coalition government to vote in favor of everything the Republicans want without demanding any concessions for their own constituents.

#Trump fired two #Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, with both commissioners saying they were ”illegally fired.”

Alvaro Bedoya posted a scathing critique of the Trump administration after the firing:

Rebecca Kelly Slaughter said: “The President illegally fired me from my position as a Federal Trade Commissioner, violating the plain language of a statute and clear Supreme Court precedent.”
edition.cnn.com/2025/03/18/bus

Screen shot of a social media post (XCancel.com) by Alvaro Bedoya @BedoyaFTC with text and screen shot of statement(edited for length). Text: I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. The president just illegally fired me. This is corruption plain and simple. My full statement: "I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. The president just illegally fired me. The FTC is an independent agency founded 111 years ago to fight fraudsters and monopolists. Our staff is unafraid of the Martin Shkrelis and Jeff Bezos of the world. They take them to court and they win. Now, the president wants the FTC to be a lapdog for his golfing buddies. Together with chair Lina Khan and Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, I spent my time at the FTC fighting for small town grocers and pharmacists and for people in Indian country going hungry because food was too expensive. I fought for workers getting screwed on pay and benefits and overtime. I fought for their right to organize. I fought tech companies who think they can track you and your kids every hour of every day so they can pocket their next billion. Whether you're a Republican or a Democrat or someone who's so disgusted with Washington you can barely watch the news, the FTC has worked for you. Who will Trump's FTC work for? Will it work for the billionaires? Or will it work for you? It was an honor to serve my country at the FTC... And to everyone who is watching this unfold, don't be scared. Fight back. ..."

We need a new #Democratic leader in the #Senate to be standing up for #Democracy. #Schumer is not the person to do that. He might be good at behind the scenes procedural stuff, but he is not good as the face of the opposition and needs to go. The country requires a person to be front and center every day speaking on 1 item-of-the-day and the vision the democrats have for it. That talk needs to be posted on every platform so nobody goes without seeing it. Make it short and sweet and to the point.
