Agree. What an admission of their fear!

Tell me you're weak, insecure, terrified, and flailing, without telling me you're weak, insecure, terrified, and flailing.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

Hasan: The UK still has a king. King Charles III, but he has less gold in his palace then Donald Trump in the oval office right now. King Charles has more respect for democratic norms than the whiny manchild trying to send his troops into as many blue cities as he can.

Very well put. Thank you.

And if only they would resign and save 'we the people' from having to deal with them any further.

It's easy to stop. If god wanted nonhuman species to be bred as commodities, god would not have made them sentient. Only a god made by man to serve man could be so sadistic. There's nothing natural about it, either. That's akin to saying sex is natural and then breeding women for men to use at will.

Davis: In [Mike Johnson’s] mind, how can one be a good Christian while at the same time want to take away health care?

Former fundamentalist Levins: Mike Johnson is a beta male in a patriarchal structure. He knows that he’s got to be obedient to his authority, who is Donald Trump—who to him is God.

When I was Wayne County’s Health Director, we kicked off our program to deliver over tens of thousands of pairs of free glasses to Michigan kids who needed them—just like I did in Detroit nearly a decade ago. Because that’s what public service is about.
