Hi my name is Clyde

This is a work around for the 300 character limit.
Click on Image to read more.

I am new here to bluesky and still figuring it out. Surfing around what I see the most is reposting of articles which is great for getting the word out. That is not the direction I wanted to go so I did a lotnsurfing around and by sheer chance a clip alto played. I was not paying attention to it but the sound was on and I could hear a lady say "I do not normally cuss" so looked up and saw a couple of people helping an older lady up on a box to address a crowd then she said "I hope mtygrandkids do not hear this" Then with both fists in the air she yelled "Fuck Trump". I moved on to another site and then it clicked
that's my hook here. To show make fun of and encourage
people to step out of their comfort zone raise their fist
and yell "Fuck Trump". Remember we are all mad as
hell, and not going to take this anymore!

Thanks Clyde Repost and Share anything you like.

The image captures a moment from a public gathering or protest, where a person is holding a handmade cardboard sign with a striking message. The sign reads: "Elect a Rapist Expect to Get Fucked!" The boldness of the language and the rough, hand-written style of the sign convey a raw and urgent sentiment, likely expressing anger and frustration towards a political figure accused of serious misconduct.

The setting appears to be a park or an open green space, with trees providing a leafy backdrop and a crowd of people engaged in what seems to be a demonstration. The mix of individuals, some facing away and others partially visible, suggests a communal atmosphere of advocacy or dissent. The style of the sign reflects grassroots activism—simple, direct, and emotionally charged.

Symbolically, the sign uses harsh language to highlight accountability and consequences, emphasizing that electing someone with a history of sexual violence is not without severe backlash or societal repercussions. This reflects broader cultural conversations about power, responsibility, and justice in politics.

Overall, this image embodies a moment of protest, determined to bring attention to issues of morality and leadership through unapologetic and provocative messaging.

Nothing worse than having a rabid dog cornered.

This image presents a vintage-style black-and-white illustration of a woman, reminiscent of mid-20th century advertisements. She is smiling and looking directly forward, while standing behind an old-fashioned typewriter. Her hair is neatly styled, and she wears a striped top with a collar, contributing to the retro aesthetic.

The woman holds a piece of paper emerging from the typewriter that bears a provocative message: "GRAB HIM BY THE EPSTEIN FILES." Above her head, bold text reads: "MOVE ON HIM LIKE THE B*TCH HE IS."

The visual style closely mimics the look and feel of 1950s or 1960s commercial art, which often featured idealized, cheerful women promoting consumer products. However, in stark contrast to the wholesome appearance, the text conveys a very pointed and modern political critique.

The phrase "grab him by the Epstein files" references Jeffrey Epstein, a figure tied to scandals involving exploitation and abuse, and suggests aggressively pursuing accountability for those implicated in wrongdoing. The phrase "Move on him like the b*tch he is" recontextualizes a notorious quote from political discourse, turning it against an unspecified male figure, likely a person of power or influence.

Symbolically, this image uses an anachronistic style to shock and highlight the urgency and seriousness of seeking justice and exposing corruption—mixing nostalgia with a call to action. The typewriter, a symbol of communication and investigation from an earlier era, reinforces the theme of uncovering hidden or suppressed truths.

Overall, the image effectively blends retro aesthetics with modern political commentary, making a visually arresting and thought-provoking statement.

This image humorously combines symbolic elements in a striking and somewhat playful design. At the forefront is a frog standing upright, a character often used in internet culture and memes, known for evoking a range of emotions from humor to satire. The frog is wearing a conical hat reminiscent of traditional Asian styles, which adds a cultural flair and might suggest wisdom or a peaceful yet resilient stance.

Behind the frog is a black pirate flag adorned with the classic skull-and-crossbones symbol. This emblem historically represents rebellion, defiance, and nonconformity—often tied to fighting authority or challenging the status quo. The frog holding a staff or pole, presumably the flagstaff, symbolizes leadership or rallying around a cause.

The text boldly states "RESIST," reinforcing a message of opposition or refusal to accept falsehoods or manipulation. Below this is a powerful quote from George Orwell, a writer renowned for his critiques of totalitarianism and propaganda:

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

This quote underlines the theme of resisting authoritarian control, questioning imposed narratives, and valuing personal truth and observation—a concept ever resonant in discussions about freedom, censorship, and critical thinking.

Overall, the image blends visual cues from pirate rebellion, cultural symbolism from the frog’s hat, and historical-political commentary from Orwell’s quote to create a layered call for resistance against manipulation and control. It serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and questioning imposed truths.

This image features a striking black silhouette that combines natural and human forms into a single cohesive design. At the center is a tree with intricate branches and leaves spreading outwards, giving a sense of growth and vitality. The trunk of the tree seamlessly transforms into the graceful figure of a woman performing an arabesque ballet pose, balancing on one leg with her other leg extended behind her and her arms reaching forward. This fusion of nature and human movement suggests themes of harmony, balance, and strength.

To the left of the figure, bold text reads "Fuck Trump," a direct and provocative political statement. Below the figure, in smaller text, are the words "And have a nice day," adding a layer of irony or sarcasm to the message. Further down, a quote attributed to Oscar Wilde states, "Some men improve the world only by leaving it." This literary quote serves to reinforce the critical tone of the image through its pointed commentary on individuals' impact, or lack thereof, on society.

Symbolically, the tree often represents life, growth, and resilience, while the dancer's pose evokes grace, control, and beauty. The juxtaposition of these elements with the blunt political message creates a contrast between artful expression and raw social critique. The image operates both as a piece of visual art and as a politically charged statement, blending cultural references, nature symbolism, and literary wit.

This image evokes a powerful and provocative message through its visual composition. It presents a distorted version of the American flag, where the traditional arrangement of stars in the upper left canton has been altered significantly. Instead of the 50 stars arranged in rows, the stars here form a swastika, a symbol historically tied to Nazi ideology and fascism.

Below this altered flag, the word "RESIST" is boldly scrawled in a dark, distressed font that simulates a stencil or spray paint, suggesting urgency and protest. The texture appears gritty and fragmented, conveying struggle and defiance. Beneath "RESIST," the phrase "THE NAZIFCATION OF AMERICA" is printed in a clean, white, sans-serif typeface, emphasizing a clear and solemn warning.

Symbolically, this image is a stark political statement. The swastika superimposed on the American flag implies a fear or accusation that Nazi ideologies—authoritarianism, racism, xenophobia, and hatred—are gaining ground or influence within the United States. The call to "RESIST" implores viewers to oppose this perceived threat actively.

Artistically, the image uses visual disruption of a highly recognized national symbol, the flag, to provoke a strong emotional response. The distortion communicates that what should represent freedom and democracy is under siege or has been corrupted.

In summary, the image uses the American flag and Nazi symbolism in juxtaposition to call for vigilance and resistance against the rise of extremist ideologies in contemporary America. It functions as a political critique and a call to action.

The image features a bold and compelling message rendered in a striking visual style. At the center-left, there is a simple drawing of a crown, yet it is crossed out with a vivid red "X," immediately conveying a rejection of monarchy or traditional hierarchical power structures. Below the crossed-out crown, the words "NO KINGS" are written in strong, capitalized letters, reinforcing the anti-monarchical stance with an assertiveness that demands attention.

To the right of this graphic, the text "POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE. JOIN THE MOVEMENT" appears in a clean, sans-serif font, emphasizing democratic ideals and the call for collective action. The layout is balanced but dynamic, with the red cross drawing the eye immediately, while the black text anchors the message in seriousness and urgency.

At the bottom, a solid black band contains the date "SATURDAY, OCT. 18" in bold white letters, which provides a specific call to action, likely referring to a planned event, protest, or gathering.

Symbolically, the crossed-out crown represents a rejection of monarchy or autocratic rule, while the phrase "POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE" resonates with democratic and revolutionary ideals, promoting grassroots activism and social change. The treatment and style resemble protest art or activist flyers historically used to galvanize public support and provoke thought regarding power and governance.

Overall, the image is designed to inspire unity and encourage participation in a movement aimed at redistributing power from symbolic rulers ("kings") to the general populace. It communicates urgency, a sense of empowerment, and an invitation to collective action.

Nothing worst than having a rabid dog cornered.

The image captures a woman from behind as she steps into a vehicle, her hair casually tousled, suggesting a candid moment. She wears a striking olive-green jacket that immediately draws attention because of the large, handwritten-style text emblazoned across the back: "HE'S IN THE FILES." The font appears intentionally bold and uneven, giving it a somewhat urgent or rebellious tone.

This phrase carries a layered significance. On the surface, it hints at secrecy or investigation, as if referencing someone who is documented or caught in a system of surveillance—possibly alluding to political, journalistic, or conspiratorial contexts. The informal but emphatic lettering style amplifies a sense of grassroots activism or whistleblower courage, often seen in protest or pop culture fashion statements designed to provoke thought or dialogue.

The setting around her is minimalistic, composed mostly of the dark car interior and the neutral backdrop visible through the open door, which centers the focus squarely on her and the evocative message she carries on her back. The visual contrast between the muted jacket color and the stark white text further reinforces the thematic weight of "files" as repositories of hidden truths or withheld knowledge.

The image presents a powerful and urgent message through bold, contrasting typography. The words are arranged in a block format, commanding attention with the use of large, capital letters. The phrase reads:

"THIS MADNESS ENDS WHEN ALL OF US RISE UP AND SAY NO."

The word "MADNESS" and "ENDS" are in a strong, off-white color, creating a stark visual contrast against the dark, almost black background. The middle phrase, "WHEN ALL OF US RISE UP," along with the word "NO," are highlighted in a deep red, emphasizing the call to collective action and resistance.

The design’s simplicity enhances its emotional impact—there is no imagery, just text, which makes the statement universally applicable and direct. This evokes a sense of urgency, resistance, and solidarity, often associated with social or political movements where widespread participation is crucial to effect change.

Symbolically, the phrase "say NO" is a rallying cry to refuse acceptance of a situation described as "madness." The use of "madness" suggests chaos, injustice, or oppression, implying a collective awakening and rejection can bring an end to these conditions.

Overall, the poster taps into the language of protest art, using text as a visual and communicative tool to inspire unity and defiance.
