This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

13 of 15 federal depts opened Bluesky accounts to bash the Left & blame Dems for our problems. But on Bluesky you can easily block them. This generous genius gathered those feeds & included a magic button to block them all at once. Click Subscribe, then Block. Then share!

Am I weird if I love editing? I can’t wait to get the first draft down so I can edit, hone, shape it. Like the first draft is clay and I get to spin it on the wheel and make it into something I love.

#AlligatorAlcatraz merch on #Etsy. Account CLOSED.

I'm so creeped out.

Email them at [email protected].

And spread the word.

Sometimes a merchant has to play both sides, but where does Etsy draw the line, paedophile merch? There's no neutrality when it comes to attacking your own country.
