He/him. Calm on the outside. Museum developer, poet in my youth. Against fascism. Jaded but not disengaged. Appreciate why Titanic's band kept playing as the ship went down. Profile pic: Mo'ohtavetoo'o (Black Kettle), Southern Cheyenne peacemaker.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

4 Dead, 20 Injured in a South Carolina Bar.
3 shootings in Mississippi leave 6 dead and 10 injured.

And Taco Tits is sending ICE and the Military to Portland and Chicago. Pay attention, people, this isn't about stopping crime, it's about setting up for Martial law and stopping elections.

Quote from the renowned journalist, Dorothy Thompson, 1937

“No people ever recognize their dictator in advance," she wrote. "He never stands for election on the platform of dictatorship. He always represents himself as the instrument for expressing the Incorporated National Will….”

I’m looking for a historical term, and it’s slipping my mind. What do you call it when troops from the South march on cities in the North?

Republicans believe wholeheartedly in States Rights, but not in Illinois, California, or Oregon (so far).

One thing about Trump: you just cannot tell if he doesn’t know, or if he’s gaslighting. Sometimes it’s one, sometimes the other, and there’s no signal which is which. Really scary.

Definitely not ok to have a raving lunatic with no apparent connections to truth be the President of the United States. Unless you need a wild frontman while working to fuck shit up behind the scenes.

After literal decades of jerking our chain, it should be plainly obvious to everyone that the Democratic Party has NO plan to competently address fascism other than to competently plan their stock portfolios around it and send fundraising emails that turn OUR crises into profit-making opportunities.

Massive insider trading. Thirty minutes before Trump’s China tariff announcement, a crypto “whale” opened a $100M+ short on Bitcoin.

4:30 PM: Whale opens $100M+ BTC short
4:50 PM: Trump announces 100% tariffs on China
5:20 PM: $19.3 B in liquidations hit the market
The whale’s profit: $192 million

Wild that some folks want to get Trump supporters to wake up, to bring them into the fold or ‘back’ into the fold, whatever that might mean. They were fine having Trump stomp on vulnerable people — they’re rat bastards.

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Estonia has closed the Saatse border crossing with Russia due to an unusually large Russian military presence on the other side. The Estonian Police and Border Guard (PPA) noted increased patrols and military movements that were much higher than normal, which were deemed beyond routine activities.
