Protecting the wealth of billionaires is the exact opposite of what we need in America, and I'm sorry to see Newsom taking this position. We need billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes and we need to get oligarch money out of politics.

They're. Not. Human.

Did James Talarico tell his grandmother that he thought he might be gay? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Has James Talarico been in a 15 year mentor-protégé relationship with gay billionaire Peter Thiel? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Did James Talarico pose in drag? Oh, no! That was JD Vance!

The Trump-Clinton debate was ten years ago, yet I still see headlines like, "Is Trump a Russian asset?" Are we naive or simply unwilling to face reality?

This argument is like saying, "Yeah, we robbed the bank, but the money's been spent so what's the big deal." No one will be held accountable for this.

The drug debate has never been based on facts or science. The War on Drugs cost billions of taxpayer dollars and accomplished absolutely nothing. Now we are murdering people in boats over the possibility they might be carrying drugs. It's just one more GOP scare tactic for the feeble minded.

We don't live in a democracy anymore. Free speech is no longer free, but comes with a heavy price.

@jpandre52.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 4:27 PM

There would be no Trump if we had an educated electorate, but we don't. Now the question is, do we care about democracy enough to actually fight for it? We are being put to the test.

If Democrats do not make getting money out of politics a priority, we will have learned nothing from the Trump era, and we will eventually get another Trump.

@jpandre52.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 3:59 PM

We (theoretically) have two more years of Trump. If we're going to write American history, we need to survive this first. That's no a given.

@jpandre52.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 3:47 PM

Maybe Trump will stop, maybe he won't. Without enforcement, judge's orders don't mean a lot these people.

Johnson: "Democrats will demand accountability and restore law & order. That's the socialist agenda."

@jpandre52.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 3:12 PM

Requirements for Trump's press secretary: 1. Be able to lie with confidence and show contempt for facts. 2. Look like Ivanka.

She's not being fired for what she did. She's being fired because she got caught.

@jpandre52.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 3:06 PM

The thing is, when we sacrifice, it can be a matter of survival. Some of these oligarchs could lose billions and still live lives of luxury. They're not sacrificing anything.

Justifying genocide, slavery and murder with religion. Will we ever fucking learn???

@jpandre52.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 4:30 PM

Yes. Businesses escape real accountability by paying a fine, pocket change for a large company. No one goes to jail.

@jpandre52.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 4:11 PM

It's not that Trump finds a public execution morally reprehensible, but that it might be politically damaging.

@jpandre52.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 4:01 PM

This is infuriating and total bullshit. What common ground? Kushner is making billions while American can't afford to gas up their cars or go out to eat. Instead of leading the attack against Trump, Dem leadership is coordinating with the enemy.
