Trump wants the power to raid your home, snatch your neighbor, and call in troops when you dare protest.

On March 28, we’re showing him exactly how little we care about his wannabe dictator cosplay.

In '83, Shannon had a message that resonated with me and I thought it should have been felt worldwide, unfortunately it seems that it fell on deaf ears...

But I'm stubborn so I'll repeat her words and say:

When @strictscrutiny.bsky.social is giving Moss vibes with "Pretty flippin’ wild!" in the show abstract, it could be time to call 0118 999 881 999 119 7253.

But I suspect his testimony might be better than Bondi's

Just saw one of those plastic "Vote for me" signs on the side of the road.

It was:
Vote
<first name> <last name>
For Senate.
MAGA warrior!

By this point, associating with maga should be terminal to the wannabes campaign.

Yet, here's a guy expects being connected to paedophiles will score votes.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks. 
 
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
 
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

Originally an excellent track by Sarah McLachen, this remix take it to a whole new level.

It rolled in this morning, and I couldn't help but turn it up, raise my arms, and let loose.
