I bought the cheapest crappiest Trump flag (from China of course) and lit a roll of firecrackers under it. The results were very satisfying.

Missed a real opportunity by not calling this thing “Operation Desert Stormy”

Joe #Biden was a very good President and a good man who ultimately could not hold back the tide of feculence that has flooded America. What I wouldn’t give have him back in the Oval Office instead of the cancer that is now present there.

Lord #Trump, the scourge of liberty, the sorrow of America?

#LawrenceKS City commission is prepared to give in to Trump amazingly without his administration even asking first.

Lesson one of tyranny - do not obey in advance!
Lawrence City Commission to consider resolution pledging compliance with federal executive orders
City staff members are asking the Lawrence City Commission to pass a resolution saying the city will indefinitely suspend enforcement of its equal rights ordinances in hopes of maintaining federal fun...

Fascism is only real fascism if it’s from the Bavarian region of Germany. Otherwise it’s technically sparkling authoritarianism.

Kansas can be pretty sometimes.

If someone says they regret their vote for Trump and no longer support him or his policies, you don’t say “I told you so” you say “glad to have you on our side, are you willing to talk to your friends?”

It’s gonna take all of us to defeat the regime.

Enjoy this blue jay.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Harry Potter is kinda like Tesla. Used to be kinda cool then eventually you realize it was created by a very proud fascist and you no longer want anything to do with it.

I just think of the apocryphal Roman watching the barbarians swarm over the walls of the Eternal City knowing that everything they and their parents and grandparents had assumed about the world was over. And then realize unlike even the Romans, the barbarians are us. We did this to ourselves.

Any place in a news story where you see “US Government” replace that with “Trump/Musk Crime Family” - the story will suddenly make way more sense.

Come on guys raise your hand if you haven’t planned military action against a foreign power in your group chat. It’s easy to do, one minute you’re planning where to meet up for beers next thing you’re bombing the Houthis.
