Just received a 3-day ban on Reddit for a “threat of violence,” against you know who.
My offense: expressing hope that a little blood clot will soon break free.

It’s time for the world to boycott the US

5.3 miles of steps today, just from shoveling snow and sleet. One more scrape in an hour, before it turns to freezing rain and transforms the driveway into an ice laminate.
Today’s goal: make that ice as thin as possible.
Tonight’s goal: an anticipatory Alieve tablet ahead of tomorrow’s soreness.

We're used to seeing images like this of Nazi Germany. This is what an execution looks like. It's an image that will haunt America for years to come. Alex Pretti was a nurse whose life was dedicated to saving lives. In the eyes of the world, America has become the monster it used to fight against.

One of the hardest things to reconcile right now is knowing that my dad, and my two siblings, voted for him. Three times. And I haven’t heard a peep of concern, let alone regret, about any of this.
