As a friend observed: It took less time for [this administration] to put workers who criticized them on paid leave than it did for Kristi Noem to sign paperwork authorizing the funds to fish dead children out of trees in Kerrville. #LaborDay #ProtectFederalWorkers #FEMA
Organize and survive.
He's said very publicly what he thinks of the troops - none of it flattering. "Suckers and losers" among other things. What did they expect from someone who openly detests them? And let it be his undoing.
The Great Undoing
If you've never heard the stories, I highly recommend the tales of the Simiots the French claim raided Arles-sur-Tec. anglophone-direct.com/simiots-arle...
There's a reason Putin could barely contain his smirking at the embarrassing Alaskan Summit.
May she spend her time in hell stepping on rusty jax.
Yuuuuuuuuup
I think that would the the ONLY way to get the cult to turn against their leader, aside from disappearing their family members. I just don't think ammosexuals will stand for that.
Please donate to the Miccosukee Nation - they were absolutely instrumental in getting "Alligator Alcatraz" shut down and our country owes them more than gratitude.
If corporations can be "people" and water can be "human" then I don't see why a decent attorney can't argue a good defense for Church of Democracy. It's SUUUUUUUPER easy to create a church - the paperwork & requirements are surprisingly minimal. Start a Facebook group/BlueSky profile for it & invite
This link has the Tribal Leaders at bottom & there's a way to donate thru this page - but it looks like a casino page and I'm not sure if it goes to the tribal nation themselves, or...? But I'm sure contacting one of the Leaders at bottom will get you an answer. :-) miccosukee.com/miccosukee-t...

Had some rube telling me they can't take our gunz during this fascist takeover, so I pointed out the side with the most gunz ARE the fascists. Then asked him when he thought they'd rebel against Hair Furor. Crickets. Yeah... That's what I thought.
Our country owes a debt to the Miccosukee Nation for helping get this atrocity shut down.
Making him testify under oath is a waste of taxpayer $$. He's not going to come to the table, hat in hand & suddenly come clean. He's not going to tell the truth just because he put his hand on a book or b/c it's illegal to lie under oath. His stance is very public. Focus on ousting him instead.
I love board games. My favorite one is where people put meat and cheese on a board. Sometimes fruit and crackers. I'm so good at that one.
Italy is one of many countries no longer shipping to the US, as they're on the "de minimis" list: Orders under $800 are no longer duty-free & now subject to tariffs, which of course hurts small biz. It's extremely difficult for perfume groups I'm in as we import our fragrances from EU often.
Yeah, but then you'll be a reich-wing martyr with full military recognition. What's important to us is not important to them. And they love this.

Here's a pic of me taking a break from bad news to go out in the woods to forage. Literally POUNDS of food. For free. All you have to do is get away from the computer, touch grass (and mushrooms), and find some joy while filling your belly & nourishing your soul. Seriously. Find time to unplug. 💗
Your guess is absofuckinglutely wrong. I'm not debating my opinion, based on the amount of women and children murdered by their domestic partners, parents, and community members every day. Come back and have a real conversation when gun owners actually fight fascism, 'cause that's not happening.
I think everyone should lose the ability to own guns UNTIL they go through mandatory background checks, training, licensing, permitting, and have annual home inspections. Just because people can have a gun does not mean they SHOULD have a gun, and the US has a femicide and infanticide problem.
Men could destroy this agency in a few short months by joining en masse and sabotaging it from the inside, leaking info to the public, and releasing detainees all while collecting the bonus and paychecks. If people want to stop ICE, this is the way.
Also the pro-life people who think it's perfectly acceptable for children to be gunned down because losing the ability to own guns is more important to them than the children of other people.

Leftist men could destroy this agency by joining and sabotaging it from the inside, leaking info to the public, and releasing detainees all while collecting the bonus and paychecks. Why aren't they?
The fun part is that cop will have that song stuck in his head for the next three weeks whether he likes it or not. 😆
Update: it got funny again

Between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the DOJ official who tried to extort a plea out of him with threats of trafficking him to Uganda, there is someone who committed a crime. But that someone isn't Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Its a very real possibility, but until the public hears a lot about it, then things will continue as they have. Once it happens to enough women who get loud about it, a sea-change will happen.
It's only a matter of time before these masked thugs start r**ping women in those vans. Once those reports start, we'll see how long either side of the aisle will tolerate seeing them on the street.
They knew exactly what they were doing and what would happen. Don't make excuses.
Integrity? I was at a venue to see other bands where ICP opened. ICP taped large amounts of money to beach balls and threw them in the audience to watch people fist fight over it. Just because they say something right doesn't give them integrity. Being assholes is their whole MO.
Thank you, Miccosukee Nation. #Resist
Because then you know how to hold people accountable. There's a reason they cover their faces and don't wear ID.
It's just a matter of time before Cuomo joins the Republican party and cries that he did it because teh Libz were so mean to him & everyone is so woke now because they don't like sex pests and crooked nepo politicians.
A customer called "Ox" at an old job used to call just to chat & would make us say "Moooooo!" at the end of our calls. His philosophy was that cows were happy because they ate & shit in fields with the sun on their backs so we should all strive to be as happy as cows. Saying Moooo! was solidarity. 😂
Hakeem Jeffries is still playing by the old rules of blustering on TV and doing nothing, while masked and armed men with no ID bang down people's doors and drag people out of vehicles and disappear them without charges or trial.
An alien who loves to eat cats ate a slimeball (a Melmacian snack) which came from a bag on his spaceship: He finds the bag also contained a Melmacian cockroach which escapes from the bag. Bug spray made it grow huge & attacked the alien, & it was ultimately killed by being sprayed w/ perfume.
Oh look, the same people who screech about free speech and how much they love the Constitution are hiding their faces and acting like thugs. Surprise surprise.
Especially dangerous for women. When society collapses, women, children and people with a disability always suffer the most.
Are you sure about that? We have precious little reports that indicate this is the case. No news about mass objections from National Guard, no social media from troops calling on Duty to Disobey. No discussions of UCMJ Law Article 90 & 92.
Women like Camille Zapata are going to save democracy.

IDGAF about the Cracker Barrel changing their logo. I've eaten there exactly once, the food was sub-par and incredibly greasy, so I never went back. HOWEVER I'd consider going back a 2nd time if they'd rebranded to this.
Look, I know shit is dark. Like, dark dark. But the way to maintain your MH in these strange times is to find laughter & joy in resistance. It is necessary. And pretty fucking rad. #Resist #FDT #FreeDC www.threads.com/@uncle_azeez...
Tax payers have been funding the militarization of police & now they're sending in the military because police weren't "good enough." It's exactly what this admin threatened they'd do, people still voted for him, & these scolds said we're being hyperbolic when we warned them of real consequences.
I feel like you're a bit behind on your smiting schedule, god.
Suspicious coincidence that they send their national guard to occupy DC while simultaneously cutting left-leaning news coverage/communication.
That's why their target audience is the religious. If they're predisposed to believe something w/o evidence & base their identity on it, it's a very small leap to get them on the cult leader train - particularly when they see real-world effects. All you have to do is tap into their fear. Et voila.
If not a gasket then maybe a blood clot. 🤞

So a notorious liar is going to tell us prison guards just let inmates into each others cells to settle "internal matters" for $25. ::rolls eyes across the universe::
Because restaurant prices pre-pandemic was already $75 for dinner and drinks, and now it's $150. For that much, I can buy groceries to feed two people at home for TWO WEEKS.
If the pandemic has taught me nothing else, it's that people are extraordinarily cruel, and if given two choices, they'll still pick the one that hurts them most.
Don't let this regime turn the US into a playground for fascists and fascist leaders. Boycott the World Cup #WorldCup #Resist
At least Nixon had the dignity of resigning his office. What do you do with people who have no shame and the SCOTUS hands them unlimited power?
Every accusation is an admission with him.
Now would be a good time for black bloc to show up and protest the militarization of DC and not just ride on the coat-tails of other organizers when it's suspiciously convenient for them.
The world needs real artists now more than ever - don't let anyone tell you- or make you feel otherwise. It's so important. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Can't help but notice the complete absence of black bloc protesting the militarization of DC. Apparently they don't show unless they're hanging on the coat-tails of other organizers who put in the work & suddenly they're happy to slither in. Now's their time to shine yet crickets. 🙄 #FreeDC #FDT
By the way, a brilliant illustration by Ukrainian artist Nikita Titov. The laconicism and precision of his works deserve the best exhibition halls.
Solidarity from the US, where we're struggling with defunded and repressed media, too.
Is this when he issues brown shirts to his cult?
Welp, I found government waste and abuse.
🤣
Bless the punks and goths.
Normalizing slavery is the 1st step to reinstituting it on our farms & in concentration camps this admin is building. When people are forced back into slavery, the US will view it as "not that bad" and will be so happy their grocery prices have gone down. Don't fall for it. #Smithsonian #Fascism
Bravo, New York! Now do Claudia Tenney.
I don't think they're under any illusions here. The plan is to support Zelenskyy & going to the table w/ him to show Trump that it's he & Putin vs. NATO. They don't expect to walk away w/ anything other than optics. They're showing the world they have the moral high-ground vs. utter corruption.
Every weed you hold up next to Trump is a rose.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is barely containing her annoyance and revulsion to Trump's arrogance, stupidity, and the fumes from his diaper. #WeAreAllMeloni #ZelenskyyMeeting #FDT #SlavaUkraini
Maybe they made Trump without the lifts in his shoes. 😂
Well, Zelenskyy isn't the one doling out money for the entire Trump family's debt, and threatening to come collect.
Wild how Putin discussed mail-in voting with Trump during the Alaska debacle, and suddenly the US administration is parroting a mass kidnapping, murderous war criminal. 😏
My very first sentence was literally "Dems need to get their boots dirty and get rural." How do you not know what that means?
30% of voters didn't even show up to vote when it mattered most. Yes, get money the F out of politics, but it's also on the people.
I have no idea why you took my suggestion about real solutions and just ran with sarcasm, other than you're being purposefully obtuse. Find solutions instead of arguing about nothing. You get more voters by changing minds. Go be productive instead of whatever this post is.
Just gonna leave this here for no reason. www.amazon.com/Bruislard-St...
Dems need to get their boots dirty and get rural. Protect farmers AND their workers instead of scaring off labor which results in food rotting in the fields and orchards. Let rural people know they're not forgotten and give them tools for success and opportunity to stay rural but thrive.
Trump came out of that meeting looking like Putin just told him it's time to pay up on his loans.
Dealing w/the same. My father-in-law passed - going thru their financials we found he and mother-in-law squandered an obscene amount of $, then got a reverse mortgage, & she lied to us about it. She's still alive - now w/almost no income will need support. The feeling of betrayal is real.
Thank you for challenging the link - a valid concern/ observation, which made me look deeper. Newsweek (far more reliable) points to sources. Putin denies having them (of course), Wiki states other analysis disputes this, too. So, maaaaybe true? Or still conspiracy. www.newsweek.com/putin-body-d...
My parents taught my brother & I to be kind, think critically, take no abuse, give back, help others, speak up, step in. Both turned into red hats. How were they turned by such an obvious grifter? I'm sad, mystified, and angry, & will not forgive them for gifting our future so willingly to tyrants.
Disturbing, yes. Surprising, no. We all know Trump's got daddy issues - it's why he looks up to dictators.
I love how the burp bubbles are completely inexplicable, only one person does it, and they don't even acknowledge it's happening other than a mostly disinterested glance.
