MAGA Traitors Need to "Go Back" and Leave America
If the GOP hates the Constitution, diversity, free and fair elections, voting rights, and the concept of separation of church and state, then maybe it hates America & should leave.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.
Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.
This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

Rosa Parks' courage was precisely NOT a single act but perseverance. What made it so courageous was she had made stands before, others had, there was NOTHING to suggest that taking a stand this day would do something. But still, if "I got up I would approve of this treatment and I did NOT approve."

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

If you would like to help support Trick Weekes, they wrote a few books you should get! Quoted is the best ways to support, and here are the titles:
The Palace Job (2012)
The Prophecy Con (2014)
The Paladin Caper (2015)
Feeder (2018)

Not Trick, but a writer.
Honestly anywhere that isn't a used bookstore. The royalties paid out for ebooks are pretty similar, ditto print. Though, guessing, direct from Amazon probably edges out for Rogues of the Republic. Feeder should be about the same $ everywhere.

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.
This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.
So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵
