Great Advice from Someone Who Did a lot of Protesting.

A picture of John Lennon circa 1973 with a quote to the left as one is facing the picture. The quote reads: When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game.
The establishment will irritate you: pull your beard, flick your face to make you fight.
Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non violence and humor. - John Lennon

Sounds like BS to me. Another false flag to try and stir up shit.

good call

Maybe for the billionaires. Those I know who are still working are having a hard time making ends meet with housing up, groceries, same. Electric doubling in many places and clothing for their kids getting ridiculously priced.

They're collapsing the economy as punishment for rejecting him in '20

hell 20's. lol When I entered healthcare at 40, my titers for MMR were so high they tested them three times. 15 yrs later, they and my Heps were still way up
Nothing gets better with age. After turning 60 it seems like what was happening every 5 or so years before that happens every 6 mos. now.

I know most do, the research told me what you did. Still, fiction. Made me wonder about SARS. Had Covid in '20 and it was bad. Not sure if it was the five years of aging, but this summer's version kicked butt, and I've had every vaccination avail.
Immunity wanes with age so chalked it up to that.

It goes back to when she was AG of Florida. She took a $25,000 campaign contribution and looked the other way-trump univ

There is also a pic floating on the internet of her with trump & Epstein about 30 years ago at a Manhattan party. She's almost 60 years old now. foreign agent, the list is long.

If one researches her history, it's not hard to see she's not the brightest bulb on the tree.

Bondi's a fortunate one who has abused her position for her own ambitions and selfishness.

a man in a top hat says now we have a firm grasp of the obvious .

Interesting grade he received in Statistics. 0.0

It does explain a lot, though.

Instead of changing words, maybe the programmers could just highlight the miss spelled word and another highlight to show the correct spelling and allow the user to make a choice.

nah, you're correct. it's fascist spellcheck

They truly do want him as dictator.

Can't remember which comedian said it; Everyone has an expiration date.

John Perschino @johnperschino.bsky.social · 3h

They sure do.

John Perschino @johnperschino.bsky.social · 3h

No need. He wouldn't care if all he saw was sunshine and daisies he'd declare it a warzone and send in his thugs to get what he wants.

Everyone from Robert Reich to Gen Z'ers are sounding the alarm about trump's desire to invoke either Martial Law or the Insurrection Act to permeate his fascism.
