None of this says that the president and his fascist minions are not a danger to all of us.

wtf
POTUS tells a woman to shut up by snapping "Quiet, Piggy."

Strike up the band for another rousing chorus of our theme song:

🎵MAGA is a war of men against women
And Donald Trump is its Generalissimo🎵

well that's no more McDonalds for me.
Trump: "You should've suffered a little while through Kamala. The good news is she had no clue. I want to give an IQ test to Kamala and Biden. Who do you think wins?"

good thread and good replies.
In 1582, a papal bull introduced the Gregorian calendar, still used today by most of the world. Because it’s 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, countries introducing it simply skipped a third of October, and if you scroll back far enough in the iPhone calendar app you can see it change

this guy is utterly ridiculous. and he has been for a very very long time.
1. If America were fascist right now, I would not be posting here. Neither would you.

Instead, I - and you - would be trying to build networks of people *offline* who can support and protect each other, in the dark, rather than yelling at the president and his stooges in our own names. /2

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."

Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

to my FB friend: 2 eagles did not land in wet concrete to leave tracks. 1, eagles are wild animals and don't hang around people. 2, those aren't eagle tracks in the cement. 3, the cement would be harmful to the eagles and they would need immediate medical attention. now I know why you're a trumper.
