The memory of my father (World War II/Korea, Army/Air Force) makes me determined to resist Trumpism.

I keep going back to this photo…

Today I got this response to the exact same email I got from him yesterday saying he’d respond to my email soon. He always includes the link to his newsletter that’s nothing but MAGA lies. Sad. But it’ll be sadder if we don’t defeat him.

Georgia representative Mike Collins’ follow up “response” to an identical “response” to a constituent’s email asking for action on a pressing matter.

Caption this.

Donald Trump holds up the last page of a bill he just signed with his signature about ten times larger than anyone else’s. He is grimacing and has a pained expression on his face. There are no discernible letters of the alphabet in the signature, just jagged up-and-down scribbles.

#NoKings Athens, GA

Over an hour before the rally started, the counterprotestors were already set up. Jesus loves Trump, DEI sign full of holes, obnoxious bullhorn. When the crowd arrived we drowned them out. Great sixties music and dancing!
