Think of any important subject in the news today (human rights, climate change, foreign policy, immigration). Then think of the most sensible and compassionate and intelligent and mature course of action to address that subject.

As former Antifa IT Head I must remind all of our fearless soldiers to change all of your passwords regularly! Never use the same password on different websites. Stay safe and use a VPN or TOR client when viewing inflatable costume porn!

Reminds me of that skateboard video game from the late 1980’s: “SKATE OR DIE!!!”

Stay safe my fellow No Kings protestors. I suspect we might have “guests” in our midst, hellbent on Northwoods-ing us into some kind of martial law scenario. Don’t overreact. Don’t get mad. Protect your kids and the vulnerable and GTFO if it gets bad.

Unprecedented times, what what.

Belligerent white people dumbed down by the slow death of White Supremacy gave us Trump and all this associated idiocy and nonsense.

Having such STUPID, IGNORANT, PSYCHOPATHIC, BALDFACED LYING LIARS in the White House really hurts my brain.

Do any of you other coders complete your annual/quarterly assessments by copying your PR merge history directly from GitHub?

I made the mistake of logging back into Nextdoor. All of the "those Antifa lunatics hare burning down Portland" comments got me a bit steamed so I thought I'd be playful with my name.

Nextdoor is a fabulous place to learn which of your neighbors would've turned in Anne Frank to the nazis, btw.

Nextdoor not allowing me to change my name to Antifa Josef.

These OLD fscking white men. OMFG.

Since quitting Facebook, it sure has been nice not to deal with right wing trolls and bots.

But bsky is an echo chamber. Who knows, maybe we need an echo chamber.

What if the Epstein Files were just a McGuffin? Damned.

See?!?!? This is WHY you have to go out and vote. Vote for the party that isn't hellbent on destroying the country, i.e vote Democratic. Sure, they suck, but they're not out there preventing black people from voting, they're not out there dumping billions of dollars into Argentina while we go broke.

Fuck it. How about instead of "loneliness leads to shorter lifespans" we just say "Go fuck yourself! I LOVE BEING ALONE and I'm going to live a fucking AWESOME LIFE no matter what you fucking NORMIE pop-psychologists say!"

That's it. I'm going to open carry at No Kings this Saturday. Under Trump, every day is Opposite Day.

Same goes for Israel. Israeli citizens have national healthcare paid for by American taxpayers.

If they treat No Kings protestors as terrorists, then it's going to be a blood bath. But nothing changes in America without drawing a little bit of blood.

Stay safe everyone.

I think a lot of leftist millennials have conflated "liberal" with "neoliberal" and "liberal Democrat"... so when, once again the GOP started demonizing the word, it was a pretty easy label to take pot shots at, esp. when NPR audience Boomers went all NIMBY and vacuumed up the housing market.

I pray to God, dear Lord, is sending in an unhinged Secret Service agent to fix our nation's problems too much to ask?
