When right-wing scum tried to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, Republicans made excuses.
When a lunatic beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer, they made jokes.
And when Trump sent a mob to attack the Capitol, they made up lies.
Don’t lecture us about condemning violence.

I've always loved this photo from 1893. It's before the Labor party was formed in Queensland. Every one of them is looking into the camera but they are also looking back at us from 120 years ago. They went to prison for better working conditions. #qldpol

Don’t be the same dusty ass you were on Twitter. Post your hobbies, your passions, talk with each other, follow people back. There is no reason for someone with like 78k followers to be following a handful of people. Don’t act like you’re an elitist dipshit here. We are nice here, to each other.

Lovely 100 mill nonvoters
Just a polite message
You, maybe, aren't fascists, nor racists, but your free decision "not to vote" enabled the coming regime..
This makes you even worse than all of the rotten maggots.
I hope, you'll suffer threefold of the sane ppl

I’ll follow and follow back most people, tbh, I love new friends, new things and learning.
But, my line in the sand is genocide supporters, fascists, racists, serial liars, abusers, bullies, trolls, and sycophants.
I think that’s fair.

Australians might think a person like Trump could never be elected here, but I disagree. The Voice ‘No’ campaign was Trumpian - weaponised victimhood, opposed equality, spread disinformation, created fear, sowed confusion and doubt. Used the same playbook as Trump’s Republicans and they won. Beware!
