We need to invite the Black Panthers to come to our communities and teach us how to use guns and methods of protesting. They have been doing it for years and have the experience. This is the first time in my life that I am thinking about getting a gun now that it is obvious the Govt is the enemy.

Called and left messages for both of my Dem Senators opposing any funding for ICE.
WTF is wrong with our Dem leadership?
Do they think voters will vote for them in the midterms after this? Because people are getting jaded. Apathy is coming if they won’t fight.

All the gun rights people who claimed they needed their guns in case it became “necessary to the security of a free State…” um this would be your moment.

No matter how you do it, read this book. It will take a while, but that's a good thing because you will want it to never to be over. Even when it does end, though, it will leave you feeling lighter than air. It is good.
In case anyone ever fears you’re not supporting the author by reading from a library, you absolutely are! And the more people request a book the more copies they buy!

I quit twitter when Musk took over, leaving behind ~10k followers & many friends. I'm a self-publishing novelist & this hurt a lot; I had regularly found new readers there. Joined bsky early 2023. I like it, but in terms of finding new friends & readers, it sucks compared to twitter. #booksky 1/

Is this what will happen? Govt will reopen, the vote in December will happen and fail, health subsidies will expire in January, and the govt will shut down again in January, at which point the middle class will be feeling the pinch?

Dante has a specific section of Hell for people who commit crimes on behalf of a monarch (the pope) knowing the monarch has promised in advance to pardon them.
