It's like I live in 2 different worlds. In my everyday real-life world, I'm surrounded by Muggles. Normal ordinary ppl. Their lives are dull & grey & boring, but they don't care because they don't know anything else.

Can't take credit for the awesome Amphifa logo, but the one I designed is free to use!

Here's a png with no background. You can buy sticker paper everywhere and use a normal printer to print them out!

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Interesting!

The Supreme Court.

The same Supreme Court that was evaluated by the Biden administration and concluded that no more seats were necessary?

If I didn’t know any better, I would suspicious that there was a hint of complicity.

We need answers to a lot of questions.

Because in an authoritarian dictatorship the citizens don't get to be armed. They wouldn't want starving people with no health insurance, who are being oppressed daily rising up against the regime.

I wonder if any of these dishonest people tried to flip the narrative. "Madam Secretary, we have heard your claims that our city is under siege, and we are obviously very concerned about that. Could you share with us your evidence supporting these claims?"

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.
