Hi, I'm Draken! If you like occasional food posts, cute cats, memes and such, welcome!

If you tolerate, rationalize, or turn a blind eye to fascism and bigotry, fuck off.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

‼️ this is one of the reasons why the Musk shutdown of USAID broke me, like

Congress said 'we're allocating these funds to save lives'

a random asshole with too much money and unresolved bitterness about the end of Apartheid said 'no you're not'

so the funding disappeared??

and people are dying??

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

What's more American than rebelling and protesting against tyrannical kings who do not represent the people of this land?

Literally nothing besties.

We love America and the best way to show that is by defending her in the way the founders would've wanted it.

AMERICA DOESN'T HAVE KINGS. #nokings

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

We tell you they’re Nazis and you think it’s just because they’re fascists and racists.

No.

THEY.

ARE.

So Nazis. They want to give refugee status to Nazis.

OK, maybe not JUST Nazis. Also certain other white people who hate non-white immigration. But Nazis can definitely come.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

The proposals also advise Mr. Trump to prioritize Europeans who have been “targeted for peaceful expression of views online such as opposition to mass migration or support for ‘populist’ political parties.”

That appeared to be a reference to the European far-right political party Alternative for Germany, whose leaders have trivialized the Holocaust, revived Nazi slogans and denigrated foreigners. Vice President JD Vance has criticized Germany for trying to suppress the views of the group, which is known as the AfD.

Since the launch of the 2nd #NoKings mobilization, the Trump regime has escalated their authoritarian agenda.

We won’t back down.

On Oct. 18, we’re telling this wannabe dictator: America belongs to us.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."
