The far-right so despises objective facts, that they cannot stand the very idea of Wikipedia.

It's not that they don't have their own propaganda wiki.

It was brought to us by the son of Phyllis Schafly and Satan.

Who is just as hateful as his mom.

You can't believe anything a liar says.

The US State Dept, Israel & Hamas are all murdering liars.

They only tell the truth when it suits their purposes. Clearly, neither Israel nor the US cares about Palestinian lives.

That implies that they're lying.

What a jackass.

Hamas isn't using bombs that were paid for with American tax dollars.

Also, I've never seen evidence that real genocide protesters ever lauded Hamas.

It's the kind of thing Zionist agent provocateurs would do.

There's NOTHING they wouldn't do.

There must be something in the area they prefer during that time of year.

They're definitely edible by birds, since they can consume some berries that are poisonous to humans.

I guess the elites should have ensured that more of the benefits trickled down to the poorest punters.

They would never have voted Brexit had that been the case.

Sure they're worse off now.

But the poorest Brits have not lost as much as the middle class.

Same here in the States.

90 years old today, they'd have been 10 when the war ended.

For the rise of fascism, they would have been struggling with teething more than studying politics.

Very inspiring, but the math doesn't work.

The thing is... since the Citizens United ruling, money is effectively protected speech under law.

Soros could legally start a nonprofit corporation and put millions of Americans on its payroll as paid protestors.

They'd be working and putting that money into the economy, right?

#NoKings is not doing enough to fully harness this momentum, IMHU.

The vibe is awesome, and I'm impressed by the lvl of coordination and keeping everyone safe at this scale.

But where are the petition signing tables?

Maybe it's just Florida?

With all these grassroots, why aren't we making hay?

When interacting with an aggressive troll these days, I'm well aware that they may be a software bot or biological bot.

A human individual who has allowed their mind to be relentlessly programmed for decades is no more capable of independent thought than an AI "agent".

I'm not concerned about Israel.

Israelis are not being systematically slaughtered with weapons my tax dollars paid for.

What's interesting about this genocide is that's happening out in the open.

You're in the position of making excuses while kids starve in tents.

That's new.

Jewish academics have been warning the world about Zionism from day one.

The media has no interest. You can find the material if you're interested, but it's certainly not part of the narrative the media wishes to perpetuate.

The average age is mid sixties.

There are a LOT of veterans, including my stepfather.

What I noticed is the flags were red white and blue, which are the correct colors of the American flag.

It's increasingly obvious who the people are that hate this country and want to destroy it.

More to come soon.

It's actually really cathartic, which is why I'm doing it.

Might even lay some tracks down.

(original protest song, free to sing)

Attacking protestors when they fear our speech, will drown out all the lies & hatred that they preach

Looks like they need a lesson on who owns these streets. So won't you all stand up and sing along with me...

Fuck the I-C-E! Fuck the I-C-E!

It was very orderly, with lots of American flags.

And they're the correct colors.

These are people who love this country.

No Kings Bradenton.

A conservative estimate would put this crowd at over a thousand. I think it was well over 1500.

They covered over a quarter mile.

The energy is palpable.

There were maybe 6 Trump humpers across the street.

This is ruby red Florida.

Biggest one I've seen so far.

The Dems have no money. They can barely pay the rent.

You talk about oppo research. Remember when Jeb Bush built a dossier on Trump and then passed it off to Clinton?

They all work for the same Wall St. lobbyists.

CNN did the dog on Platner.

And it wasn't cheap.

johnnyflapjack.bsky.social @johnnyflapjack.bsky.social · 22h

So you really should be asking yourself why CNN spent the amount of resources on one candidate in a field that big.

The answer is because Wall Street is terrified of the progressive movement in the Democratic Party

You get one vote and they have billion$.

johnnyflapjack.bsky.social @johnnyflapjack.bsky.social · 22h

CNN must be scared to death of a working class progressive if they dug that deep on one primary candidate in a field this big.

Please keep fighting Mr. Platner.

You made some dumb posts.

If that was a crime, we'd all be locked up.

You might try voice to text dictation if you use a Mac. Even when your healed up, it takes a lot of stress from your hands. It night even be faster when you get used to it.

I generally dictate a page or two and then correct manually.

This is why everyone hates a nepo baby. When they're winning, it's all due to sheer brilliance. They're the smartest, the best looking and most talented. It's not their fault they had every advantage!

When they're losing, it's everyone's fault but theirs.

Andrew Cuomo is still behind — and he’s blaming Curtis Sliwa

The Republican nominee, polling a distant third in the New York City mayoral race, is becoming a scapegoat for the former governor and his deep-pocketed allies.
