After 15 yrs, think I’ll leave this cesspool of garbage ads, bots & vitriol. Exodus of many eloquent voices is too much. Kicker is Musk running this as a disinfo machine. Guess I’ll try #Bluesky, #Threads but prob just enjoy more real-life experiences! Fare thee well!

@atrupar Hate to say it, but it is good politics for them. That one issue main cause of Black and Latino men swinging votes. I have a trans kid, happy for her. But my views on trans athletes not doctrine enough for left. Every big ‘progressive win’ is a rally cry for the right.

@matt_vanswol @HistoryBoutique FEMA is not a cleanup crew, dude. They are meeting with hundreds of locals daily. We had an excellent experience with them regarding home damage. Stop this false narrative, it’s not helping anyone.

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

Milestone in #Helene recovery! Thanks to all the people who have been working nonstop to make this happen. Now, let’s get these restaurants open and filled with diners!

@BurgundyBlog Mini bye then 3 straight very winnable games, 2 of those at home. Meanwhile, Philly has to play at Rams, Ravens and Steelers…let’s go!

@JPFinlayNBCS @P_ConnerJr Why no FG try??

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

@grantpaulsen WTF was that choice to not kick a FG?!?

What could go wrong with an extreme Christian Nationalist as head of our Defense Department? I’m sure it’ll be just fine. 😒

[Matthew D. Taylor @TaylorMatthewD]

Yesterday Trump announced he's nominating Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense.

Hegseth's a prominent Fox News personality & veterans advocate, but he also has strong ties to the Christian far right that I've not seen fully exposed yet.

Here's a thread w/ receipts... 1/

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

@CptAncapistan @DrNeilStone It’s all a debate until kids die.

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

Frank and stark analysis from someone who knows what’s up.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Spent last week licking wounds. Now it's time to get to work.

Some thoughts on the path forward. In short, we need to rebuild the left. No band aids.

Admit that our policies don't connect with people emotionally. Stop being so afraid of populist fights. Build a bigger tent.

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

What a weekend for #Asheville! @mollyparti is a gem;)

[To Asheville & Beyond @ToAsheville]

While we're planning on bringing Asheville back to life, DJ @MollyParti is ALWAYS front & center in the community & ready to take on the mission. The River Arts District was where it was happening today https://t.co/pFyvL1ZMlA 😍 #asheville #dj #helenerecovery #riverartsdistrict

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

@oppland67 @RadioFreeTom Asheville resident here, can confirm.

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

Fuck yeah!

TRUMP WINS AMERICA LOSES WHAT ELSE IS NEW

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

Trump 2.0 will be stacked with the most brazen Q-Anon madmen possible. Perhaps this is what it takes: an actual #idiocracy that tears the nation down to the ground?

[Tom Santos @tommysantos14]

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.

When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

What then?

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?

You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.

You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.

You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.

You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.

You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.

You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.

You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.

You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.

You just made women less safe and less free.

You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.

You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!

You just ushered in Fascism.

Because your cereal costs more.

Congratulations.

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

We are set for dark times. Trump 2.0 will bring an alignment with authoritarians worldwide, evangelical fundamentalism at home & a free for all economically for the rich. And @SCOTUS will be packed for 30 years. I don’t care about why. This is real.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Regardless of who wins, this will be your next 4 years in the USA.

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

@SimonWDC Agreed but lots of bad results coming in. Underperforming results in orettt much every state.

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

@GOP Shut your fake ass pie hole. You have created this nonsensical boogeyman, we know it’s BS. No one outside of your #MAGA sheep farm is buying it. Get ready for #MadamePresident 😎

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

@larryjones Fake news. Actual fake news. But whatever. #Harris_Walz2024

[James Fisher @Fishstix66]

@BeschlossDC Just sad. …..🎶Goodbye yellow haired toad!🎶

Fuck anti-vaxxers, we are not letting these loons open the gate to controlled diseases that science has almost eradicated. #VoteBlue

[Dr. Annie Andrews @AnnieAndrewsMD]

Vaccines are good. RFK Jr. is bad.
