Twitter refugee. Here to make sarcastic comments to entertain myself and myself only. If you still support the GOP, it's not because you like their tax policy. You might be a Nazi.

We're a country up in arms about homosexuality and transgender but are just fine with pedophilia.

We Americans live in a country that doesn't even care about rape or pedophilia anymore, at least not when it comes to the most powerful people in the country

I am not over that, I cannot get over that, and I will never be able to get over that

How could one *ever* be proud of such a country again?

It's funny, the no kings protests could be the best chace to normalize the idea of nationwide strikes in the US, if the organizers are serious. They do maybe 2 more on weekends to really lock them into people's practice, then say, "hey, let's show them we really mean business & do it on a Wednesday"

Donald Trump invited Zelenskyy over the weekend to once again try to extort him on behalf of Putin. Zelenskyy didn't back down and stood up for his country. No Trump and MAGA are not isolationists, that's a myth, they are in an open alliance with Russia and Israel.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Oh, and Jared Kushner is featured as the person they interview about this?

The fact that the Trump admin first reaction to people peacefully exercising their rights is to launch federal investigations against citizens to intimidate them is exactly why we were out there.

lol “No Kings” is such brilliant branding because Trump’s people are such inveterate reactionary shitposters that their only reaction is, can possibly be, “oh him being a king triggers you? Then yeah he’s a king, he should be the king forever.”
