He won't be swayed by the courts. He thinks he's King and Congress is on his side. Marches and signs and slogans are nice, but nothing will change because he doesn't even recognize you as human. We've tried it peacefully for generations. Someone has to stand up and say "enough" and make it plain.

Pepper balls hurt and act as pepper spray. They're not very accurate, so you'll probably get hit during a spray-n-pray barrage. Wear long sleeves, hat, gloves, and jeans. Guys, wear an athletic cup. Get a gas mask with eye protection (pic). Be prepared, be safe, help others.

When it happens - and it WILL happen - it will be quick. Much faster than you can react. It takes hours/days/weeks to set up dominoes that fall in seconds. All you can do is be prepared and hope to survive it, but it's coming.

I understand the need to point out that Donald doesn't meet the stringent physical qualities of the people he seeks to control, but it's nothing new. The cult leader is always above the rules. I mean, Adolf wasn't exactly the Aryan ideal.

Privatization of the military ... what could go wrong?

99% of them are cosplaying, putting on a mask and spewing hateful garbage anonymously that they can't say in real life. It's like old 4chan.

However, it's the 1% who end up being the mass murderers. It only takes 1. Stay safe and arm up.

Exactly.

Inmate P01135809 is a cosplay president and is to be given credit for nothing. His death rattle will be my ring tone.

I'm old enough to remember the Iran hostage crisis. A deal was brokered by President Carter, but the Iranian government agreed to not release the hostages until after the election to ensure Reagan got the credit.

Their entire personality is based on the suffering of others, hence their visceral response to something good happening. If it can't be about people suffering, they don't know how to process it. It's a cult.

So, this is the peace Donald keeps bragging about?

For those of you going out and protesting and such, make sure you understand a bit of OpSec. If you're masking up, cover your eyebrows. It's a little thing, seems trite, but it makes it WAY harder to ID you. Be safe out there.

Man, she does NOT like being treated the way she treats us.

Exactly 2 years ago, ~6000 Gazans invaded southern parts of Israel and perpetrated the Simchat Torah Massacre in the communities of Netiv HaAsara, Be'eri, Kfar Aza, Nir Oz, and Holit. There still remain 48 hostages, living and dead, in Hamas hands.

In order for me to write poetry that isn’t political
I must listen to the birds
and in order to hear the birds
the warplanes must be silent.

He ran off pretty quick. Probably thought he was on Twitter and would be paid to ragebait.

You're kind, but I'm not very erudite lately. I am desperately short on fucks to give these days.

Do you go around finding Muslim accounts and insulting their faith or do you only pick on the Muslimas because you're a whiny little beta bitch who can't handle the sight of a hijab?

I'll wait.
