Here's what the Republican Party is working towards. A future where the Party and Big Brother are absolutely in power.

Think globally. Act locally. Resist fascism. They are just getting started and they HAVE NO LIMITS. There's no end to how horrible they'll be to reach their goal.

"Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me." George Orwell, "1984"

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

This is damage control mode.

I love making unique jewelry. This pair was inspired by my Smash it Pretty! collection. Gorgeous bronze spirals and tons of amazing quartz crystals go into making this pair quite unusual.

I'm not saying that you're posting lies, by the way, I'm saying that the government is lying through their giant propagandist lie-holes.

I don't doubt that cartels have given money to people who hurt US agents, but this is a level of insane crap that doesn't make any sense, even for Cartels.

Glen from So Cal @glenc.bsky.social · 21h

This is almost certainly a bald-faced lie.

What criminal organization wants to kill their best clients? They don't want to "destroy America," they want us all addicted to drugs.

Fucking stupid.

Cartels issuing bounties up to $50,000 for hits on ICE, CBP agents: DHS

Target's on their backs for once. 👀

Cartels issuing bounties up to $50,000 for hits on ICE, CBP agents: DHS

Drug cartels have "disseminated a structured bounty program to incentivize violence against federal personnel," according to a press release from DHS.

Glen from So Cal @glenc.bsky.social · 21h

I'm supposed to believe this bullshit?! No cartel is stupid enough to make violence against LEO that obvious, it is BAD FOR BUSINESS.

Cartels don't want to "destroy" America. That's a terrible business model and they know it. They want us to be as rich and healthy as possible so we buy their drugs.

How long do you think it'll be before they just start shooting "immigrants" in the streets rather than wasting time locking them up?

Protesters be warned, you're next, unless we can get some major political will behind removing the Orange Despot and his Shitbag Administration.

Yes, absolutely, we can all see where this is going. The problem is that no one thinks it will happen to THEM, and no one in the Federal Government has the will to stop it because abusers love to see people being abused.

This is all so fucked up.

I work at a school that has middle and high school students. Why do middle school boys always have to be poking, pulling, pushing, prodding, or otherwise TOUCHING each other, CONSTANTLY?!

A group of boys outside my room making are me INSANE. I need a Command spell, like D&D. Or freaking laser eyes.

This is a giant load of horseshit.

"Israel on Tuesday announced it will not abide by the terms of the ceasefire agreement related to humanitarian aid, claiming that Hamas violated the deal regarding the release of the bodies of dead Israeli captives."

Glen from So Cal @glenc.bsky.social · 1d

Huh. One side isn't abiding by the cease fire. How strange.

Israel is an authoritarian terrorist state perpetrating genocide.
