So you're mad about the pay. Maybe next time you get an order from a dictator, you'll remember that your oath is to the Constitution. See y'all Nov. 5 in DC for an end to this nonsense. All military are invited to join the people as we take back our country. refusefascism.org

I keep thinking if we had a million people all together, we could just go to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW and arrest the criminal in residence there. But hell, we could do it with 100,000 people. Maybe even 50, 000. Are you with me?

So, I watched this old movie with Wesley Snipes as a DC cop. The bad guys are holding him down. Snipes says to their chief, "You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent ..." It's brilliant. Let's start arresting ICE agents. It could work.

Just an idea, not a plan. But let me invite everyone with skills and experience in organization to give us a plan. We've had millions at demonstrations. Surely, an organized group could put together a serious march of a million people to do more than demonstrate.

Amazing bias by BBC in burying the lede. The headline is an accusation. The last sentence in the article acknowledges the finding that the accusation was untrue. And yet, bsky found reason to censor this article because it was posted by @londoner-woman.bsky.social , a defender of women's rights.

You clearly do not know the history of women's chess. Women have never been able to compete at the highest levels with men. Some say they cannot become good enough. Some say they are unfairly treated from earliest youth and thereby disadvantaged. Transwomen merely cloud the picture. They don't help.
