Somewhat safe. Don't forget that there were some kidnappings to make the offenders stand trial. You MAGAts need not think you'll really be safe anywhere closer than Mars. Perhaps you'd be wise to go on to Mars right now.

Never thought of a beaver as being a dual pencil sharpener before.

No doubt most others have greatly reduced what they share. OTOH, they likely see the opportunity to feed disinformation to Putin through the US.

I love the costumes of demonstrators. A side benefit of inflatables is making ID of the wearer a bit more difficult, not only by partial concealment of face but by changing gate & apparent height & weight.

But not if one wears the same dino every time. Trade, swap, & loan them.

As much as I detest all of them, Thiel seems the worst. With him it's not just greed and power hunger, it's 200 proof malice.

It'd be worth $86M to lose one...

Three real judges, the rest is Supreme Court Refuse Of The US. Because they latched on to Trump's.

He'll soon join Jesse Helms in the eternal furnace.

Given the impressive No Kings turnout around the country, it's time for Repug legislators to decide whether to turn against TrumpCo or continue in the sewers where they're likely to be thrown out of office in November 2026. Being in TX or FL isn't a guarantee of corruption carrying the day anymore.

Impeachment machine at work

It's why they try so hard to destroy education.

There was a big turnout in the Triad, North Carolina too.

David Williams @drivedog.bsky.social · 3d

97 seems kinda low. 99.99%, and I can't think what the other .01% might be

Wouldn't work as well on Donald the Hutt.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Trump probably offered an Idaho site to Kim Jong Un first.
