I keep staring at this photo of @gtconway.bsky.social from #NoKings, and imagining trying to explain to my 2015 self just what has had to go down to make it happen.

PS Also, George, if you’re reading this: welcome, brother.

The @nytimes.com are so close to getting it (but never will). Donald Trump is a Russian patsy. A stooge for Putin.

Nope. Not required. Didn’t improve anything. Nobody needed that one.

So, Trump is moving up the Stalin scale. This on him.

But he is on the USA.

I’m willing to bet that the ballroom never gets built and the White House stays partially demolished for the duration of this regime.

With respect: You know from experience that it’s all lies and a democracy cannot encompass the racism, misogyny and inhumanity of the USA’s open self deceit.

Other people bought the fairytale.

Look at the company the USA is now approaching.

Hitler, Mussolini, Gaddafi, Ceaușescu et al

And how that lot ended is a fear of the autocratic. They have seen how it winds up. So they will fight like cornered rats.

Keep trying to get them out early, not later.

Then this can remain hyperbole.

Yeah, but someone got hung from a lamppost. Historical fact, not an exhortation.

But that is a fear of the autocratic. They have seen how Hitler, Mussolini, Gaddafi, Ceaușescu et al wound up.

Keep trying to get them out early, rather than later.

Let’s not do it like we did with gas.

Don’t know the solution. Liberals are worse. Money = power.

I’ve been to the Burrup peninsula. It’s like they built a refinery next to Stonehenge (which I’ve walked through in the 70s)

Incomprehensible.

Yes, where are all the people who stayed at home or thought it can’t be that bad?

Not here.

So you folks need to get in the streets more and be constantly visible.

For all our sakes

Well, this is the physical manifestation of the shit bombing, isn’t it. USA, he is pissing on you too.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Has any media outlet written about the actual policies and procedures that are supposed to be followed before you tear down a wing of the White House?

While travelling approx 26,000km around and about Oz I found many unisex toilets (because that’s what we call them) and in a few cases found sanitary disposal bins in the male cubicles.

No one cares what toilet you use - as long as it’s one more cubicle over from me.

Now… back to the US Nazis news

Seems about right.

As well as the lawlessness,
they are good at the gaslighting too.

The United States promise of democracy is equality. “Give it while, but not now”… seems to be how it’s been executed.

It’s only been 249 years.

Maybe this crisis will give the country a kick up the arse.
