Twitter refugee. Here to make sarcastic comments to entertain myself and myself only. If you still support the GOP, it's not because you like their tax policy. You might be a Nazi.

It's funny, the no kings protests could be the best chace to normalize the idea of nationwide strikes in the US, if the organizers are serious. They do maybe 2 more on weekends to really lock them into people's practice, then say, "hey, let's show them we really mean business & do it on a Wednesday"

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:

-- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house."

Donald Trump invited Zelenskyy over the weekend to once again try to extort him on behalf of Putin. Zelenskyy didn't back down and stood up for his country. No Trump and MAGA are not isolationists, that's a myth, they are in an open alliance with Russia and Israel.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

lol, cbs running promos for 60 mins tonight discussing the ceasefire in Middle East. The ceasefire that has already been broken in embarrassing fashion.

Oh, and Jared Kushner is featured as the person they interview about this?

The fact that the Trump admin first reaction to people peacefully exercising their rights is to launch federal investigations against citizens to intimidate them is exactly why we were out there.

It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

lol “No Kings” is such brilliant branding because Trump’s people are such inveterate reactionary shitposters that their only reaction is, can possibly be, “oh him being a king triggers you? Then yeah he’s a king, he should be the king forever.”

Today was the largest single-day demonstration against authoritarianism and tyranny in American history.

And it will only get bigger.

For nine months, there has rarely been a day when I was proud to be an American.

Today changed everything. Participating and witnessing the courage and determination of millions of America-loving patriots is the hope we needed to persevere and survive the chaos and cruelty of fascism.

Going to need someone to keep track of the ‘return to their country to face prosecution’ part of this.

Follow up question there, Tim. Do you think Trump should run in ‘28? If you say yes, that kills the spirit of your statement.

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.

Had a blast at No Kings Raleigh today. Seemed like every car that passed honked in support and loved seeing kids with smiles on their faces also participating. Great job Raleigh!

Also hilarious this was called a hate America, terrorist rally vs reality

this is why I think the admin spending all week yelling about a “hate America” rally was stupid

anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”

this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.
