Democrat, Puerto Rican. I'm just one angry American who believes you can't have taxation without representation. (In case you miss my point, I believe Puerto Rico should be a state with representation in Congress).

I support peaceful but annoying resistance from here on out. DO NOT BE VIOLENT. But do not assist. Make mistakes. Be Obtuse. Be Slow. Be overly detailed. Be polite and repeat instructions a lot. Do not write anything down. Be sloppy. Be annoying. We know who these people are. We can make life awful.

Growing up, cartoons I watched always had the bad guys as nameless masked men. This is a foot soldier of Cobra. My instinct as taught by GI Joe is to knock someone dressed like this out.

This is exactly what someone who wants to get with a blue haired chick but knows they never will says.

This is what a failing government looks like.

Government collapse feels imminent . Why go work there?

Mike Johnson has had it with Democrats. I’ve fucking had it with Mike Johnson. You put him on tv or news and I’m fucking changing the channel and not coming back. I don’t want to hear another fucking lie from him.

Mike Johnson is the equivalent of pink meat paste in a suit.

He's senile enough that they just lied about it, showed him a Sora 2 video, and gave him some ice cream to distract him.

The No Kings organizers with a fun, tidy response to Mike Johnson's shenanigans.

Fucking miss this man. Best President we've had in awhile.

Welcome to my life. Cassandra's complex sucks.

This will hurt us more than China. It's like threatening someone that if they don't do what you say you'll start punching yourself in the face.

I hope these guys remember that attacking the capital is not a crime when they try to shut down valid and fair elections.

She would obviously have a high level position in this administration. Seniority has an inverse relationship with ethics.

Obama's congratulations on Twitter to Maria Corina Machado is a great. All of us standing up for America can take inspiration in her fight. I won't post the link, you can look it up.

I will admit to posting under a nom de plume, but I've been doing that so I won't lose my job. I could give a shit what Trump and the government thinks. They and all the oligarchs already know who I am and what I think. My boss doesn't have access to the NSA.

John Rage @johnrage.bsky.social · 21h

I'm sure that at some future point, I'll be arrested as "antifa" for just talking shit about this administration. This is a label they will just attach to all their political enemies. Like Commie Mutant Traitors in Paranoia. A broad brush to get rid of your enemies.

I also hate John Bolton, but you are right. This is bannana republic attacks on political enemies. Our Congress should be stopping this and they are in his pocket.

But oddly enough it is peak Republican.

They really shouldn’t be paid or receive benefits. You put people’s healthcare on hold and this wouldn’t have happened. Some sort of deal would have come out of these geriatrics.

BREAKING: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has won the Nobel Peace Prize, winning recognition as a woman “who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.”

She was lauded for being a “key, unifying figure" in the once deeply divided opposition to the Maduro regime.

I always got in trouble for questioning teachers. I have a problem with authority and I always have. I’m not going to do well in an authoritarian regime. It goes against who I am at my core. Someone tells me I can’t do something I immediately want to do it.

As a Puerto Rican, I have a bad temper just like my father and his father. But the thing that really makes us scary is our ability to hold a grudge. Once I get a chip on my shoulder, I never lose it. I never forget. I never forgive. Numquam ignoscam nec obliviscar.

As I tell myself constantly, I will outlive this evil man. I will live long enough to see history properly portray him and his followers for the damage they are doing.
