Pollster data shows ~40% support for the current regime, proving our divide isn't a mirage—it’s reality. To protect democracy, we must embrace #SoftSecession and local resistance against federal overreach like # ICE.

Mob rule vs. oligarch control, because it would be more fair and accountable. They frame the coming year as a crucial moment where ordinary people must act like the “immune system” of the nation—protecting democracy, freedom, and human dignity through active engagement and resistance. #SoftSecession #TheExistentialist #AntiCorruptionCompact #StopFascism

If someone says "Obey or I'll burn down your house," and you obey and he burns down your house anyway, why are you still obeying? Why are blue states still sending their tax dollars to Washington DC to fund the fascists' lawless and deadly assaults on their people? When does Business As Usual cease to be true? #softsecession

Donald Trump is, once again, on display this morning, in all his immature, rambling incoherent, braggadocious, spendor-- bragging like a school bully.

The only ones more shameful are the ones standing by, who see what he is and take no action against him.

We must all oppose this man with our voice, our vote, and our choice in consumer spending.

@rikefranke.bsky.social I believe the current ‘United States’ can and will not survive this #trumpregime period of rapid collapse. The #timemagazine quoted “new” #usa version that will need to be built, is gonna be a collection of aligned states on the West and East coast, with a #christonationalistfascist center. I see no ither solution than #softsecession | #uspol

Friends, it's important we all take a step back from the daily chaos and the way the daily headlines make us feel hopeless. We need some context.

How can we possibly get out of this mess? -- I believe these two (relatively) short readings will be worth your time and may give you a new perspective.

As state taxes are deductible from federal taxes, wouldn’t a state universal health care tax be tax deductible too?

As health insurance premiums can be pre-federal income tax deductions, blue states should form a universal health care alliance and withhold our tax money from the federal government to fund a universal program.

What else can we do ourselves pre-federal tax?

Near the end of this clip, Eric Swalwell says "California is the greatest country in the world and is under attack."

Misspeak or not, a Governor who sees California not merely as one of 50 states underneath a powerful federal Government, but as the Republic of California deserving maximal autonomy would win me over.

As Trump and MAGAs treat us like garbage, I want to see maximal autonomy for California, Pacifica, and the other blue states.
