Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray.

No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye.

Thank me later,

Standing under a street light in the dark is fun, because it helps you see the bunnies in the bushes. 🐇 Also, I am rocking this sweatshirt 😊

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

They make a good team. I’m rather smitten with Max too. He’s a good, smiling, happy-go-lucky little buddy. I really dug seeing him enjoying Revna’s sheepskin so much.

They just keep getting more ridiculous. They know it. We know it. What they are really doing is justifying mass arrests of whoever they don’t like or disagrees with their repulsive agenda and crime spree. That’s what we need to be focused on, not martial law. They don’t have the manpower for that.

ICE Talk Show Host, Kristi Noemakenosense says, “ we recently arrested the girlfriend of one of the founders of ANTIFA and we’re hoping as we go after her and prosecute her, we'll get more and more information about the network.”

This is State TV people! All propaganda and lies lies lies.

It was brought to us by the same group of literary geniuses who declared “war on terror,” which is especially ironic as they seem to love to spread terror to get their own way, or just because they are cruel assnuggets.

Kath Barbadoro @kathbarbadoro.bsky.social · 16h

Saying someone is a "member of antifa" is like saying someone is a "member of socialism" or something. it makes zero sense. But they can't use the ideological form of the word because it makes it too clear what the ideology actually is and it would include our grandpas

I would say they will steal whatever they can, cause any needless suffering and cruelty they can, and can never be trusted in any matter. His word is worth nothing. He’s an insurrectionist and christian nationalist who worships an orange god.

She is of course “my dog,” but she honestly is the most unique doggo I’ve come across, & I’ve had a lot of good ones. A kind and gentle soul who wants to please, always follows the “good girl rules,” and is wickedly smart. I couldn’t be more proud of how she went from unwanted stray to the Diva Dog

But I think it starts by recognizing the orange clown isn’t the one behind most of it. The American conservatives and their institutes are. Trump is just there to enrich himself, be above the law, and feed his ego. Conservatives, like those out of the Heritage foundation, that’s who is responsible.

The utter ridiculousness of all this going on. Its just mind boggling—and all our “very serious and important people” just sort of over there waiting like rats in the corner for some crumbs to fall they can scavenge instead of speaking up like men and women of honor and courage with a sense of duty.

So far all we’ve done is murder a few fishermen. This is just trump and hegseth killing because they always wanted to (not in person of course) and it makes them feel powerful. Granted, they also want to steal Venezuela’s resources, so that plays into this eventually in a childish set-up sort of way

Exploring a section of the Icknield Way, an ancient route across England that some say may be the oldest road in Britain. It certainly predates the grey squirrels I barked at.

Never even considered they were telling the truth. They haven’t yet. They are basically the embodiment of modern conservatism. A bunch of angry, entitled, immoral and incompetent yahoos with a uniform and firearms fetish cosplaying top tier soldiers as they punch down at anyone who can’t fight back.

Looks like ICE lied about the woman they shot. They rammed her car, not vice versa
