Christianity did the same damn thing. Conversion at swordpoint.

Kristin Reid @kristinmreid.bsky.social · 16h

🤦🏻‍♀️ Honestly, the racism of this thinking. “Arabs” who have Levantine ancestry are Arabized. Islam spread by conquest, wiping out indigenous cultures, slaughtering and mass converting them at the point of a sword.

Or did you think that Arabic was the indigenous language of over 20 countries?

My new Chucks. People tell me I'm too old for this type of thing and I just say fuck off. I like em.

So does WA State. We're like California's little brother in that we look at what you're doing and go, hey, we should do that too. Although we did legalize weed before y'all. And we have even higher taxes than you. Gas is currently $4.79/gallon. 10% sales tax. And soon a state income tax. Yay!!

Once we get our numbers for our health insurance, I will be boycotting everything. No new stuff. Making gifts for Xmas. Having a couple of Costco chickens instead of turkey and all the trimmings. Man, I grew up poor and its pissing me off I have to do it again in my 60s.

@SuzanaD3 @suzanad1.bsky.social · 16h

MASS BOYCOTT NEEDED

Psycho Pete @psychopete.bsky.social · 16h

I keep finding out people I assume have seen the boycott guide actually have not. There is an oligarchy fighting document pinned below. Shares appreciated.

I just remembered why I don't wear mascara.
There hasn't been one single time that I haven't stuck the wand directly into my eyeball. Since I started trying to wear makeup when I was 14. Not. One. Single. Time.

In all our focus on No Kings day we may have overlooked Trump screaming expletives at Zelinsky in the Oval and telling him to surrender what Russia wants or be destroyed. This seems important.

They have, once again, fired the people who look after our nation's nuclear stockpile. There's no way that goes badly, right?

I can still recite the Declaration of Independence but I have to sing it.

I really want to go to France. This level of nonchalance is something to which I aspire.
BTW, I read this post in a horrible French accent. Apologies to the French.

Mutable Joe @mutablejoe.bsky.social · 1d

international journalists asking the french police why they are having a two hour lunch while the thieves are out there and the police explaining the thieves are likely also french so will also be having a two hour lunch

Im totally on board with bringing back the guillotine.

Anybody else?

panicinwa.bsky.social @panicinwa.bsky.social · 19h

Everyone in my part of WA votes. A. It's easy bc its by mail
B. We're a liberal bunch
C. We have to bc E. WA is Trump red & they think W. WA & liberal democrats are a cancer.
We vote to keep WA blue & to piss those guys off.
We've suggested they build themselves a port or an intn'l airport.

Im betting in the next version Jesus says fuck the poor, the sick and the hungry. To hell with the foreigners, they don't count. AND MY FATHER BLESSES ONLY THE UNITED STATES OF TRUMPISTAN!!! Not that I would care to look but that might already be in the Trump Bibles.

Tori Foote @toriatheisttori.bsky.social · 19h

Yuppers. I read the Good News Bible when I was 13. Then I read the King James when I was 22. Can't believe I read it twice. Lol

My hubs was scared for me to attend. I asked him what he thought was going to happen in tiny, upper middle class, mostly white, super Democratic Gig Harbor. Hell, the only cops in town spend their time writing ticket to folks going 5 miles over the speed limit up a hill from the harbor.

good hyuck, babe! @markpopham.bsky.social · 19h

something I haven't wanted to say out loud or even really allow myself to think because it feels pollyannaish but like... after the rhetoric and the violence from ICE, federal and state forces over the past month, I was expecting one of the rallies on Saturday to get shut down

panicinwa.bsky.social @panicinwa.bsky.social · 19h

For me it was the last scene in No Way Out with Costner. I literally stood up shouting "No Fucking Way!!!". Can't find a gif though.

I think I nuked both White House accounts but they're like the brown marmolated stink bugs: you think you've gotten rid of them only to find half a dozen more that your cats are to afraid to go near. Not that I blame the cats. They've experienced the stink.

panicinwa.bsky.social @panicinwa.bsky.social · 19h

Just the US Marine Corp showing that they will do whatever Trumpy tells them even if it could kill civilians. Nothing to see here.
SMDH.

go.bsky.app/6zbzL4j live munitions were flown over I-5 In California. Fragments hit a patrol vehicle protecting JDVance. This was a part of a ceremony in California. This is a dangerous stunt by 47.
Follow and keep fighting the good fight.

My hubs and I sat down last night to talk future finances and if the cost of health insurance goes up as much as is expected we will have to leave our employees without insurance and we will have to try to get into state ins pool, and I have diabetes and I'm a cancer survivor. I will be uninsurable.

Adam Kinzinger @adamkinzinger.substack.com · 1d

Literally the Republicans are keeping government closed because they are that against making healthcare affordable. That’s jacked up

@shrektv.bsky.social is a Trumper here to troll people. I blocked him. I suggest everyone do the same.

Probably for the same reason Epstein wasn't arrested on federal trafficking charges during the Obama Era. IT'S NOT JUST TRUMP IN THOSE FILES. Epstein had dirt on EVERYONE. Not all sex crimes. Some just Big big money criming. Dem, Rep, Dukes and Duchesses. He was a blackmail master.

Pentagon discloses the latest strike on suspect boats in the Caribbean -- No. 7 in its current campaign -- with another video, but no evidence. In a first, this one is alleged to have ties to the Colombian insurgency group the ELN.
