@evanminto.com Oh, I might have to jump in on this. Very Rumikworld meets Patlabor type action here.

Yes, but The Star Spangled Banner is awkward with all its pitch changes and terrible pacing. It was written as a poem, and made into an 18th century battle hymn, that was then remixed into the national anthem. It speaks of one key battle in the Revolution that gave hope to those fighting for the cause.America, The Beautiful is a much better and more inspiring timeless anthem that speaks of the resulting country that was born from said revolution centuries later and calls for reflecting upon what was built and what it can become.*
(* present 🐄 💩 notwithstanding)

@starrwulfe.xyz What about literally everything sold in a Dollar General. I have yet to see “made in USA” on anything in that place because it would need a name change to Ten Dollar General.
We don’t make anything in the capacity to supply and support 340 million people with doodads and widgets like that. -

@starrwulfe.xyz A logical policy to change that would be a generational plan starting with education to ensure workers can build new plants and products that people want and need. Then ensure we have markets to sell those in.
Wait, wasn’t that what the Green New Deal was about? 🤔 -

@starrwulfe.xyz So how tf do you put the cart before the horse by firing, deporting and generally terrorizing the entire workforce that does anything in the country, then squeeze more money out of them in the form of inflation and tariffs, but then be all surprised none of this shit is working?

@starrwulfe.xyz Clearly the only obvious deduction is that these policies are designed to destroy the country. Occam’s razor be damned, I have a hard time believing it’s simply incompetence everywhere; there has to be some goal of neutering and brain-draining this place because it’s the perfect shitstorm right now.

@uhnopenottoday.blacksky.app Hard agree. To the point where I made it a week long sidequest in my journalism and media classes I taught in Japan. I should’ve taught it Stateside too I guess.

@starrwulfe.xyz You can point to every wild ass thing coming out this administration right now being something that was blocked from happening in 2017/18 thanks to those no longer there. So of course we can see where this was headed and why the “don’t follow illegal orders” ad was made.

@starrwulfe.xyz It also lowkey confirms my belief that Steve Miller is really running things policywise and Trump doesn’t really care to know about most things about the job, but can give us granular data about Lincoln Bathroom marble and East Wing Ballroom details. Sounds very… Deep State. 🤔

@starrwulfe.xyz I remember being on the train to work in Tokyo years ago listening to news reports about leaks from staffers talking about how he asked if it was “ok to shoot protesters in the legs” or blow up hurricanes with nukes.
Is that the kind of thing we’re to expect in 2026? -

@starrwulfe.xyz Like I said a few times before, every time they get a trifecta in government, republicans overplay their hand. They always say “Dems want to control everything you do” but then proceed to do exactly that when they have the power to do it. And we can’t even complain; they don’t have town halls now.

@starrwulfe.xyz The race to 2026 midterms kicked off the second the polls closed in Davidson county TN last night. If you’re in a 🐘 district Trump won with less than 15 points, it’s fair game. That’s over 100 districts that are no longer “safe” and the 🫏 are coming for all of them.

@starrwulfe.xyz Exciting times ahead, and I’m eager to see what happens here in Georgia. No wonder MTG is quitting; her district is in play now too. Places like Hall, Walton, Fayette and even Bartow counties could be up for grabs.

@starrwulfe.xyz Last night, Roswell GA flipped its mayorship to the D side, that’s big news. It’s the 6th largest city in the state. Also a metro ATL suburb in the historically conservative stronghold of N Fulton County. But not anymore if you ever drive around up there. Way different than when I lived there in ‘97

@starrwulfe.xyz This is telling because I also think the ideological makeup of the country is more liberal than conservative in terms of political interests. Nobody really cares about “culture wars” when they can’t pay bills, worried about jobs, kids, health and housing. Any policy that helps with these will win.

@starrwulfe.xyz If Dems stop trying to be everything else and be proud of who we are policy wise, we will win. Fighting for the common people, promoting a path to universal healthcare, fair housing & wages, unions, John Lewis Voting Rights Act, free school lunches, fair immigration reform & AFFORDABILITY. 🫏

@fpwellman.bsky.social You’re absolutely right. @aftynbehn.bsky.social showed last night that nearly 100 seats are now fair game despite gerrymanders and other games.

@taniel.bsky.social Finally. Roswell needs to be less car dependent and the incumbent was too busy thinking we’re still in olden times.

@starrwulfe.xyz Literally every place that has had Republicans running anything for the past 10-15 years have been on some some bullshit. These people don’t want to govern and instead got folks wondering “does that girl have a penis,” “are those brown folks stealing my job?” And other inane culture war shit.

@starrwulfe.xyz Seriously, none of these folks actually help raise your kid’s test scores in school, lower barriers to getting a job that will last, or help ease inflation and price increases on fucking everything. All they do is take and blame us for not giving enough to them in the form of taxes and shit.

@starrwulfe.xyz Rural folks can’t sell their harvest because they fucked up trade or get crop loans to even put the next one in the ground due to taxes…I’m sorry, tariffs. City folks can’t afford rent, utilities and food now, and can’t find a job that will pay enough. We are all one check away from destitution.
