MIDTERMS WILL NOT BE CANCELLED.

Let’s get that straight.

There is absolutely no chance of it.

Republicans need them.

Billions of dollars have been poured into them.

It’s total horseshit.

What they WILL do is what they’ve always done:

Intimidate. Suppress. Invalidate.

FOCUS, people.
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

The last thing Alan Rickman did was adorable - AND admirable.

He made a 30-second video to help refugees.

More views, more money, more refugees helped.

It’s still helping them, 10 years later - because, unfortunately, in this world, refugees still need help.

Not a Nazi slogan.

Never was.

I know the story. It‘s a true story, the slaughter of the village as retaliation.

What is NOT true is that it was a slogan used before, during, or after that horrific event.

Ever.

Do better research. It’s not that hard.

AI is lying. Don’t use it to do research.
The Trump Administration is no longer hiding their Nazi inspiration, with Noem adopting a slogan coined by convicted Nazi war criminal Kurt Daluebe, who ordered the murder of every male in Lidice in retaliation for the death of a single SS officer.

Is this Trump's plan for American cities?

Especially when half the cops seem more than happy to COOPERATE with the fucking fascists, Mayor.

Something is rotten in the state of Minnesota, and it ain’t just the unwashed shorts of a bunch of Gestapo thugs whose fathers never taught them how to wipe .

Keith Porter had - has - a daughter.

The GoFundMe set up for her & his family has a goal of $300K.

A modest goal.

He was murdered two weeks ago & the goal HASN’T BEEN MET YET.

Meanwhile Renee Good’s GoFundMe was SHUT DOWN when it passed $1.5 MILLION.

Keith Porter’s GoFundMe has STILL not met its $300K goal.

TJ Sabula’s raised almost half a million dollars in under three days.

I feel sick.

I DO NOT BEGRUDGE THE HELP TO OTHERS.

But the silence is deafening.

This man was MURDERED as surely as Renee Good was, & left a daughter.

What the fuck.

Ten years ago today.

Still missed.

Live your life in such a way that ten years after you die, people who never knew you personally still mourn your loss.

Not like someone people WISH had died ten years ago.🍄‍🟫

HEY BLUESKY - when do you get YOUR link added to all the “Send this to” thingies?

I can instantly add a GoFundMe to a ton of apps - IG, FB, Twitter, etc.

Not Bluesky.

I can do it with dozens of publications onlihe - but not to Bluesky.

Why not?

We’re huge. We’re international. What gives?

Not quite sure why there are no ADULTS in the US government able to stop this Greenland madness…

Or why even the most mediocre minds of MAGA can’t do the math when it comes to what FOLLOWS if they let these morons do this.

ICE Shoots Projectile and Takes Out Kid’s Eye

Surgeons spent six hours removing shards of glass, plastic, and metal from his face. Unfortunately, the damage to his left eye was irreversible.

LOVE THIS FOR HIM.

They do a GoFundMe for racist scumbags caught on camera being scumbags.

WE do a GoFundMe for a fucking badass autoworker who heckled Trump the Pedophile [protector].

NO.

You don’t get to REFUSE a Congressional subpoena because you don’t like the MOTIVATION for its issuance.

WE don’t get to CRITICISE & PROSECUTE the REPUBLICANS for refusing those subpoenas & then blithely refuse them when WE get them, fellas.

Not how integrity works.

The rush to convict Timothy Busfield on the basis of an accusation is so fucking disturbing.

It happens constantly on social media, & it bothers me no matter who it is nor what the charge.

“He’s been accused before!"

Yeah - once involved a 17-year old girl & once supposedly groping a grown woman.

I’m so glad he didn’t make this a Gift.

It isn’t worth wasting a Gift Article on.

I wish I could comment on it.

But even if I could, the NYT doesn’t accept gifs in their comments sections.

So I’ll post it here, instead.

With a great big fucking YA THINK, GENIUS?
