New tattoo to help me through.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

Tattoo that says, "Nolite te bastardes carborundorum," which is a made up phrase of mock Latin that means, Don't let the bastards grind you down. It can be found in Margaret Atwood's novel, "The Handmaid's Tale," and in the show of the same name.

I guess no one told him that county was red. He just wanted to hurt blue CA.

Stray Political Cat @straymeerkat.bsky.social · 1d

(Cuz CA for the majority is blue but that county was red)

And when three towns in CA burned in the Paradise Camp fire (my house included) in 2018, he wanted FEMA to not help.

Can he do this? Decide by himself for money to go to the military while nothing else is (agreed upon by congress and) funded? I do want ppl to be paid but it seems like he's cherrypicking..

Argentina gets $20 billion, Qatar gets an airbase in Iowa, while our soldiers are being fed by food banks. Orgs like Army Emergency Relief are stepping in amidst Trump’s shutdown, and you can make a donation at any of the links in this thread:

Too bad they can't make up a name (ie. Waterfall Journal Daily) and when he wouldn't know it.

I think Pritzker is right.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8d

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

If he's talking to reporters about doing the Insurrection Act, how long til he actually does it?

Trump open to invoking the Insurrection Act

The comments came a day after a federal judge blocked the president from sending National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

Screenshot of @ohnoshetwitnt post on 10/6/25: "Halloween is going to be weird now that there are scary masked people on the streets all year long." Then a reply from @urocklive1 says: "How many little ICE costumed trick-or-treaters will we be seeing this year? It's the easy and obvious choice."
