This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

💯! The Democrats who were both fatally shot in June 2025, are Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband. (Please forward. The right should not be allowed to forget our assassinated leaders any more than we should forget theirs.)

Remember folks. The Big Ugly Authoritarian Bill has not yet been signed into law. It has only been approved to be brought for a vote in the House. If it passes the House vote, then it becomes law. Call your congressperson and let them know you want them to vote NO. 1/2

If Trump's administration is going to challenge and invalidate birthright citizenship, how far back are they going to reach? Because at some point, all that will be left are the Cherokee, the Iroquois, the Apache, and other NATIVE Americans. Which, about now, sounds like a pretty good deal.

Flocking behavior. To defeat an autocrat. Birds are smarter than they’re given credit for.
Do no sleepwalk into autocracy. Keeping your head down will not save you. Instead, your institution—school, nonprofit, church—needs to do what Rutgers is: flocking behaviour. Band together. Be solid. Face reality—together. It does work.And there's no other choice than to sleepwalk into the horror.
Now this, this is the way to defeat an autocrat
So many of us are sleepwalking into autocracy. Here's how to defeat an autocrat—flocking behaviour. It works. It works a lot better than keeping your head down.

No matter how you count, we haven’t even gotten a century into the idea of MAYBE doing something with our world other than burning EVERYTHING down in wars of conquest every single generation & that’s proved so intolerable oligarchs would rather end us all than allow it to continue

Women couldn’t have their own credit until 1974. Marital rape became illegal nationwide in 1994.
We are ONE generation into women having a CHANCE at life & it’s proved so intolerable America would rather end itself than allow such a thing to continue.

Hey all you folks freaking about digital map software already calling it “Gulf of America”: what the heck do you expect the companies to do? If they didn’t, Orange Julius would put “domestic tariffs” on all their products and try to drive them out of business. He’s a CRIMINAL, this’s what he does.
