@ceasendesist
Imagining what if Dems were in power, and empowered by us, to choose differently than today’s news. Together, we could Fund Literally Anything But This !
Trump spent $80 BILLION of our tax dollars (on bombing people and buildings in Iran) in order to get a deal to… GIVE IRAN $300 BILLION to rebuild itself. Hey, dipshit: if you just wanted to give $300B to the Ayatollah’s son, you could have done that without wasting $80B of our money first.
Imagine #WhatIfDems were empowered to manage our public sphere and make it actually habitable for thriving human development? Put disclaimers on propaganda like the Canadians put on cigarette packaging:
@gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social thank you for leading by example, and blazing an alternative trail to the theater-kid-to-conservative-influencer pipeline!? open.spotify.com/episode/4mvc...
Matt Mahan has ONE HUNDRED AND ONE other wealthy donors, whose maximum donations make up MORE THAN HALF of his total funds raised. As #CAGovernor, who will Mahan be responsive to? Will he take care of the majority of his donors, or will he care about the rest of us? 3/6
You know carcinization, "the many attempts of Nature to evolve a crab"? Maybe there's a similar evolutionary pressure for transportation innovations to evolve into busses, because they are also the best. Maybe we call it "busvolution"?
Billy Costigan: Maybe it would have done you some good to have some *questions* from time to time, you know? "Am I an asshole? Are my kids a mess? Is my wife a money-grubbing whore?" I mean, those are questions, right?
Both of these photos were taken in the United States. One of these photos is from real life, the other is from a (fictional) dystopian thriller. Under Republican government, can you tell which is which? ...is it as easy as it should be?

Just catching up on the #TPusa #superbowl #halftimeshow but I definitely heard this one already?! m.youtube.com/watch?v=y7im... CCing @boburnhamdaily.bsky.social for copyright!?
Just catching up on the #TPusa #superbowl #halftimeshow but I don’t speak Spanish—what was this lady [music] singing about?
A different tone: The Trump administration deleted decades of research on development and the record of what #USAID contributed to fighting disease, poverty, and corruption--in the countries chosen by Congress--just to replace it with this "you're all [illegally] fired" OOO message: www.usaid.gov

Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture. Intel has told us there are at least seven. #Hegseth #christiancrusader #MAGA #Christofascists
Q: Do these charts count the “broken windows” or public order offenses that people perceive as evidence of crime around them? Some of those things are going up, such as number of chronically unhoused people—which has doubled since Trump was first elected: www.security.org/resources/ho...
#WhatIfDems? Americans get to live our lives without Republicans’ gratuitous cruelty.

Let's remind our Senators that America cannot be great unless we are also good!
Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on the rescission package (HR 4) that proposes canceling humanitarian programs and development assistance that Congress approved last year. 202-224-3121 #SaveUSAID
TIL that Legally Blonde is more of an American institution than ICE—and came out 2 years earlier! #abolishICE #Resist
