Writing in general, and my limericks in particular, have always been an effort not to make money, but to make a difference. With that in mind, I’ve decided to donate 50% of my royalties each month for #FridayLimericks2024: Mistakes Were Made to a cause that matters to me. (Thread)

Oregon National Guard is here to serve and protect the people of Oregon the protesters and abide by the law. They know that ice agents have been pretending to be military and pose as the National Guard wearing nearly the same uniform. The distinction is valor!

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

I don't know how libertarians can support the fascist Trump regime that is maliciously attacking our individual freedoms and blatantly interfering with the free market every day. A libertarian Trump supporter is a contradiction in terms.

Do you enjoy New Mexico chiles? I know I do. And for that, we can thank Mexican American horticulturist Fabian García, who has been described as the “father of the New Mexican food industry” because of his pioneering work. /1

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

People are always telling me that my videos shouldn't be longer than a minute because people don't watch that long. So I beg you: Make an exception. It's important that people know this, and not everything can be--or should be--explained in 60 seconds. youtu.be/upZz4T3A4wU

Day # 264 #proudblue

Growing up with protests: Civil Rights, women's rights (bras), rights for the disabled, murdering a President, candidates, leaders journalists.
I never in my wildest dreams thought my next protest would be frogs vs ICE.

Here we are. I'm thinking of scorpion or cactus for AZ.

Folks I'm going to leave my repost up as a lesson, but apparently it's a hoax (bummer when the good things are, but this happens).

Huge thanks to Bob for pointing that out. ✌🏽💙😊

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

New supremacy.TSZ = supports of Trumpspteinizm.

Morph antifa into Anti TSZ

Why? TSZ is a new supremacy!

1. Pro TSZ =Secrets of worldwide sexual feats are to be kept secret. Anti TSZ = exposure.

2. Pro TSZ = destroy dissent. Anti TSZ = all violent acts held accountable

Just a thought:

How about we turn #NoKings into a PARTY!!!

Bring your signs, but dress up, or wear blinky lights, halos, wings, clown shoes, tutus, dino/frog/etc costumes, etc.

MAKE IT FUN, AND MAKE FUN OF MAGA INSANITY
