I will NEVER not find this hysterical. [Not my original piece.]

How is The Orange Overlord going to achieve his goals?

This is how!

#GrowTheResistance #Anti-Trump #Anti-Musk
Trump's plan to destroy the US government is relatively simple and realistically easy to do: 1) Deny funding, and 2) Deny staffing. Without money and the staff to carry out the mission of agencies, they will grind to a halt. He tried it last time he polluted the Oval Office, and the tactic came close to succeeding. Velveeta Voldemort wants to end the government's ability to regulate anything, and this is how he will do it. Faint skull and cross bones image is in the background.

It's that time of year when the worst of family dynamics tend to come to the fore.This year, abstain from the usual family dramatics. Remember: NO is a complete sentence.

Shared bloodlines in no excuse for abuse!

#FamilyManipulation #OptOutOfFamilyDrama #HappyXmas
Never allow any relative to try and exploit or manipulate you using the phrase "But we're family" or "Family comes first." That is pure bullshit. It is an invitation to trample your personal boundaries, rights, and space. Real family is considerate, kind, and understanding. Real family would never try to coerce a relative through such means. Cartoon image of a marionette is on the right side.

I walked out The Lion King because the opening message is horrific and should never be taught to children: "Bow down to those who would eat you!" Monarchies are archaic institutions that need to be permanently destroyed.
#EndMonarchiesNow #ByThePeopleForThePeople
Monarchies have no place in a modern world. They are an out-dated, out-moded political system that needs to entirely end. In keeping with tradition, behead anyone who refers to him/her/itself as royal. End Monarchies Now! Illustration of a guillotine in bottom right-hand corner.

Just trying to brainstorm some ideas on how to deal with the maga-heads.

Anyone else got ideas?
#ProudLeftie #Anti-Trump #GrowTheResistance
We need to treat Trump and the maga-verse like a group of unruly 5-year olds who refuse to learn and reject reason along with logic. This means we need to make the happy train choo-choo sound when talking to them so they can get excited about something they understand.

This is, admittedly, a little on the dark side.

I feel I need to add "/s," because it is.

I'm done with being disappointed about the elections. Sitting around moping isn't doing me any good. Time to burrow into my reserves and get to work.
#GrowTheResistance #BetterWorld #Anti-Trump
Yes, the November US election results came as a shock to about half the nation and stunned large parts of the world, However, we need to get over that and fight like hell to make the US a better place for all… including those with whom we disagree. Time to dig down deep and get to work! Image of a stone gargoyle, looking shocked, in lower right-hand corner.

I truly believe in this approach. Part of what we must do in the next four years is take, claim, and hold the moral high ground. This does not mean simply rolling over and accepting the tyranny. Resist, good people, resist!
#GrowTheResistance #Anti-Trump #MoralHighGround
Remember the lessons of Gandhi and MLK: • Refuse to participate in any action, even when asked or demanded, that is unethical or immoral. • Band together with like-minded people in resistance. • Do so peacefully and with solemn resolve. • History shows us both active and passive non-violent resistance is very effective.

Even though I think he is complete fiction, I stand by what this says. Moreover, there's nothing in the bible to prove me wrong. Ha!

While many find the name off-putting, The Satanic Temple is really an amazing organization. I openly support their activities because their values align with mine. Who can really argue with their Seven Tenets? www.TheSatanicTemple.com
#atheist #atheism #TheSatanicTemple
The Satanic Temple is not the Church of Satan. The Satanic Temple is a social-political organization and not a religious one. An image of the guiding principles of The Satanic Temple is included.

Most of my clients and contacts started their holiday vacations early, so I have little to do other than muck around on Bluesky. Enjoy this little meme I just whipped up!

2025 will bring the live-action version of The Oregon Trail to homes across America! Two images from the 1980s The Oregon Trail game, one of which is the 'You have died of dysentery" screen. This preventable tragedy brought to you by Trump, RFK, Jr., and the Republican Party.

I can't stop thinking about children killing other children in school. It literally makes no sense to me. It begs the question of what exactly are we teaching our children.
#PreventableTragedy #SensibleGunLawsNow #atheist #atheism #UncaringGod
If your god does nothing to stop the senseless slaughter of children by other children, then it's not a good god or worth following.

The lowest standard of civility is using non-violent means to settle personal disputes. We have some serious, deep-seated issue we need to address in this country (USA).

Yet another preventable tragedy, but apparently the right is perfectly fine with children getting slaughtered in school by other students. Something is definitely not right in the country.

I feel perfectly justified posting this because I went bald at a young age and just owned it. Kudos to Sir Patrick Stewart for leading the way!
#BaldElon #Anti-Musk #Anti-Trump #GrowTheResistance #SirPatStew
In the center are side-by-side photos of Melon Musk balding as a young man and then with hair implants. Text reads: Hair plugs, anyone? Apparently he hates people knowing he went baled at a young age and despises any photos of himself showing it. So, here it is.

This is what is what I say to people who try to use faulty experiential evidence in an argument or a debate...

Image of a cat pushing a watermelon in a lake. Test on the image states that, and concludes: Your argument is invalid.

Theist apologist will try to argue this is not true, except their logic always fails. If god is the Big Three Os, then this is an inescapable conclusion
#atheist #atheism #FreeWill #AlmightyGod
If god is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, then god is responsible for everything we do. We cannot have free will if this sort of god is present as it knows EVERYTHING that is going to happen for eternity. Hence, we get judged and punished for no good reason if we aren't responsible for our own actions. It's all on god. A brain in a locked cage image is in the right-hand corner.

Yeah, people might read too much into this. All I am really trying to say is capitalism needs checks on it. It does play a role in the US economy, but it should not be the do-all, end-all position.
#LimitCapitalism #FreeMarkets
Capitalism is inherently anti-democratic. It seeks to consolidate money (and the influence and power that goes with it) into a few hands as possible. It is based on the principle that many need to lose in order for others to win. It's all about merciless and ruthless gain. Capitalism kills entrepreneurialism and free markets.

The main difference between the right and left political sides is that the left respects the rule of law and the integrity of the American elections.
#GrowTheResistance #ProudLiberal #Anti-Trump #TheRightIsWrong
Please notice that when the election certification takes place, the liberals and the left are not trying to stage a coup or rising in insurrection. We respect laws, due process, and the American political traditions. Image of US capital building during the Jan 6th, 2021, insurrection in lower right-hand corner

This is going to be unpopular, but...

Do not participate in corporate or retailer charity collections. They do this for public relations purposes. Donate on your own regardless of what it says on the checkout kiosk.

Give to charities on your own and never through a company or retailer. They are using your money to bolster their image. Image of an electronic payment stand in lower right-hand corner.
