This week was rough. I thought about just retreating. But then I remembered that my ancestors who were enslaved people, the Civil Rights Leaders, The Freedom Fighters, The Freedom Riders, The Women of the Suffrage Movement didn't give up.
How dare I even consider it. Im in. Are you? #resist

Did Trump just reveal top secret info about US military maneuvers? Im no military expert, but it sounds like intel that could inform our adversaries—or worse—endanger our service members.

Yes, but we know it really wasn’t about the insult — well, for RumpelThinSkin it was, he’s mad Kimmel made fun of him. But for ABC & Disney (and to some extent, Nexstar who pulled him from local stations), it was fear, it was cowardice, it was unabashed corporate greed. They should be ashamed.

Oh wow, that’s what’s up! Thanks so much! 💙🧢💙 #Resist

Seems pretty milk-toast to me🤷🏽‍♀️

No Brian Kilmeade didn’t just bring his whole, entire forehead to the TV cameras to tell us how Jimmy Kimmel went “way too far.” Kimmel? Jimmy homeless-people-should-be-exterminated Kimmel?🤔

Sir, you’re the one who suggested initiating a yankee-version of the Nazi “Aktion-T4” program. #shameless

Charlie Kirk’s Killer: Alt-right Groyper

Nick Fuentes fans are Groypers. It’s a racist variant of Pepe-the-frog. The term came from coordinated on-and-offline activism targeting mainstream conservatives they saw as insufficiently extreme. Groyper’s often heckled/harassed figures like Charlie Kirk.

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · Sep 12

I literally was like 😲 when he said that crap. WTF dude!?!

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · Sep 12

Exactly this👆🏽

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · Sep 12

Yup. And they’re always somehow able to flip the narrative and blame it on Democratic liberals. Naw, not this time slim. We have to blast them with the truth.

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · Sep 12

Hi Ted Cruz, JD Vance, Nancy “Democrats Own What Happened Today” Mace & all who preemptively blamed Democrats/“liberals” for Charlie Kirk’s death, can we talk?

…now that we know Tyler‘s a white guy from a wealthy, GOP family AND a registered republican.

The preachy Utah Gov keeps quoting Charlie Kirk like he was some wise sage & not a racist. He’s obviously a Kirk fanboy, but to say NOTHING has ever angered you more than Charlie Kirk’s death is wild. Nothing? Not even the mass school shootings that left multiple, innocent children dead?

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · Sep 10

Refresh my memory…Did Trump order flags fly at half mast when MN Democratic Speaker of the House, Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed? Did he condemn political violence after her death? Did he even mention her name? #ThatsRhetorical

Charlie’s murder remains evil, hateful & wrong.

Trump says he’s ordering all US flags lowered to half-mast in honor of Charlie Kirk.

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · Sep 10

Charlie Kirk is dead & I’m sick. Political violence — ALL violence — should be condemned! And while I believe Charlie was a virulent racist, white nationalist & white supremacist, what I know is that he didn’t deserve to lose his life. This is hateful; it’s wrong. And I’m saddened for his family.

Cleanup on Aisle-FOX!

“I’m stunned at the downward revision of June figures (147K to 14K). We’ve got 73K in July, 19K in May. Those are incredibly weak. That’s the total, not just private jobs…so that sets a low bar. Clearly we tripped over the bar.” [Stephanie Pomboy-Micromavens CEO/Fox Analyst]

Ask yourself why the POTUS is breaking his neck to protect a convicted pedophile and proven perjurer? It’s because Ghislaine knows where the bodies are buried; she might want to be careful that the next one isn’t hers. #LooksLikeASetup

Another day, another democratic lawmaker detained. #AmericanGestapo

Federal agents arrested NYC comptroller & mayoral candidate Brad Lander Tuesday. He was accompanying an individual from an immigration court when agents used force to physically separate Lander from the man they intended to arrest.

Minnesota Senator John Hoffman, State Rep. Melissa Hortman — both Democrats and members of the Labor party — and their spouses were shot last night by someone impersonating a law enforcement officer. Authorities are calling it a targeted attack. No word yet on their conditions.

MAGA’s: “This is exactly what I voted for!” when watching the violent ICE kidnappings, the suppression of protests and the threats to “crackdown” on peaceful assembly, freedom of the press & freedom of speech. We’ll see if they feel the same when the fascist FAFO’dom invades their communities.

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · Jun 12

Don’t get used to this and do not normalize it. This is not American; it is Hitlerian. It’s something you only see in China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and…Nazi, Germany.

Show up in force, across the US on June 14th — NO KINGS DAY🚫👑

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · Jun 12

Hell-to-the-naw. Nope, I want e’ry last one of them marched before a court to answer for this attempted act of constitutional homicide.

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · Jun 12

Hey spineless, fascist GOP lawmakers — in case ur in need of a strong woman to show how it’s done — this👇 is how u uphold your oath; ya know the one where u swore to defend the constitution?😡

I see Alina Habba has found a storyline for her reality-show performance as US Attny for NJ. In this episode: charge and arrest a sitting US Congresswoman for… doing her job.

These charges will be unceremoniously thrown-out or dismissed, just as the charges against Mayor Baraka were dismissed.

Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson was the only dissent.

YaKster @yakwithyak.bsky.social · May 19

Just saw joe and Mika imply that he hid his cancer diagnosis and there’s no way he could be at this stage without knowing or without refusing the prostate test. The hate is not just coming from the MAGAs. I’m furious. They’re speculation is gross.
