This sort of response needs to be thrown in the faces of the live maggots (bots and troll farmers aren't worth the effort.)
Also point out that Fuckwit Mussolini keeps posting shite that depicts him as a king...one that pours shit over Americans.
These fools are epically bad at gaslighting.

Yes! I see this comment over and over again, well, ...if he was a King, ...he wouldn’t let you protest. What do you think he’s aiming for genius? Pressuring law firms, universities, the press, charging his political opponents, apparently Americans are not just bad with history, they suck at math.

Bisbee, staying weird, isn't doing No Kings on the 18th but on the 17th as the Bisbee 1000 Stair Climb takes over the crumbling hills of Old Bisbee on the 18th.
I think climbers should carry No Kings signs, frankly.

I'm in an odd mental space. Not sure which setup will be used on Saturday, my birthday is tomorrow (and as always, no gifts as such -- gift cards etc are welcome, though, as I need new bits and pieces), I'm up to three dives in the Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber... 1/2

I get to spend two hours a day for the next two months at two atmospheres of pressure, equivalent to being 333 feet deep in water. The choices to amuse me...a movie, or sleep. If sleep they wake you every thirty minutes.

This is just a locally depressing weekend. We've had the sort of rain Southern AZ was needing but while most areas weathered it Globe-Miami was hammered, affecting numerous businesses and damaging art galleries and performance spaces in Miami itself. Numerous works were destroyed by water.

I finally pushed myself into getting my agoraphobic arse out to get an x-ray and labs done and promptly got rained on at the bus stop. Once on the bus the rain flooded down, so I missed my stop (I couldn't see it coming up and the driver was focused on staying on the road.) Grand tour of Bisbee, AZ.

Very much this. Disney has a bunch of releases coming in theaters, on PVOD and disc, and on streaming.
Burn them. Remind them of what happened to Target when they knelt and licked the boot.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.
Collective boycott.
Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
