Smart move to alert the police and smart politics to publicize it. This is serious.
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

H5N5 Bird Flu jumping from animal to person for first time is just as devastating to hear as H5N1 Bird Flu jumping to person-to-person transmission. Potential pandemics brewing to add to the ongoing Covid pandemic which is still killing & disabling.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Enraging MAGA, who thought they were talking about DJT
For those who don’t remember, @npr.org tweeted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 2017 and MAGA had a meltdown because they thought NPR was concocting subversive propaganda.
Some Trump supporters thought NPR tweeted ‘propaganda.’ It was the Declaration of Independence.
Some Twitter users reacted angrily to the thread, accusing NPR of spamming them or pushing an agenda.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Shylock is a slur. It means Jewish bankers who fleece people for high interest. Trump knows it. He’s referred to Jews using this slur more than once. Where are all the people that love to shout antisemitism on both sides of the aisle? Nowhere. Cause they don’t actually fucking care about Jews.
Trump's argument for the elimination of the estate tax is that the heirs of the super rich will no longer have to go beg a predatory Jewish banker for a bridge loan to overcome cash flow problems associated with the $15 million dollar estate they're about to get.
