Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

🧵 UPDATE FOR MY BIRTHDAY:
Hi, so AI killed my career(s) and I'm still barely holding on. Some people tried to get me to start a fundraiser, but that felt weird, so I thought maybe if I was contributing something? So I started making shirts. Can you share this and maybe think about grabbing some?

I'll only speak for myself...

A dark (abusive/violent) childhood that nearly killed me (father tried to kill me & suicidal attempts)

Bullied at home which caused extensive damage & at school for being Jewish, a nerd, mental illnesses, etc.

I vowed to be a better person & advocate for other people

Some people are mean and bitter because they had a rough childhood. Some people are kind and caring for the same reason.

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.

Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.

A little profanity can show that you're being real and you do give a damn.

this is sort of an extraneous point but after some gentle pushing from a number of folks on here, the Zohran account no longer posts without alt text.

that means something. it says something.

You know MAGA is an incestuous cult because the entire world, especially Palestinians, realizes Israel just played Trump and there's no "peace in the Middle East."

However, Trump gets his ego stroked, and MAGA Reeks get to praise their King for a day.
