I just woke up in the middle of the night with this question in my mind: Is this 1938?

What's crazy is that, sure, I can make an argument that it isn't like Germany's 1938 in the USA right now...
... but I can't dismiss the possibility.

Could Kristallnacht 2 come this November?

The political leanings of Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca are made clear by the fact that his office hasn’t bothered to post on Bluesky for over two weeks...
… while Riley is regularly posting on Elon Musk’s X.

Josh Riley thinks he can take the support of progressive Democrats for granted.

Abolish ICE!
If your representative in Congress can't get behind this, it's time for them to be replaced.

Do you have a personal relationship with cheeses?
In this satirical sticker, Jesus bends down and kisses a plate of cheeses, expressing sensible priorities.
Is it blasphemy to get spiritual about lovely creamy dairy? #cheeses #jesus #artnouveau

For the USA to take control of Venezuela will require huge numbers of American soldiers on the ground.

Did we learn nothing from the disaster in Iraq?

Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca just voted with MAGA Republicans AGAINST the impeachment of Donald Trump.

Why does Josh Riley keep protecting Donald Trump instead of protecting the people from Donald Trump?

The basis of these anti-education bills is a crazy right wing conspiracy theory. (1)

The torture locusts of Abaddon, causing pain in the name of Jesus and the angels of God, provide justification for the sadistic behavior of Donald Trump and his MAGA followers. The Bible glorifies hate. That’s why Christian Nationalists are so nasty.

Got blocked for noting 'synagogue of Satan' is from the New Testament and it literally is. It's from the book of Revelation, Chapter 3, verse 9. You literally cannot divorce antisemitism from Christianity, nor can you do so from Islam.
Language from the New Testament, mind you. This is why people who try to pretend you can separate antisemitism from Christianity were always lying to themselves. Like the Mosque the Church cannot exist without hating the Jew.

It's too easy to say that Christian Nationalism contradicts the teachings of Jesus.
In chapter 9 of the Book of Revelation, the Bible promises that God will unleash terrible monsters to torture all non-Christians for 5 months.
Jesus will be there to watch it.
People read that and get ideas.
When people ask how Christians can reconcile their support for Donald Trump's cruel MAGA ideology, I ask them to read the Bible's New Testament Book of Revelation Chapter 9, in which Jesus and the Christian god torture all non-Christians for 5 months until they want to die.

Ithaca and Tompkins County New York: That proposed Terawulf data center on Cayuga Lake isn't just environmentally harmful.

It will also serve G42, an anti-democracy fascist AI company run by the spymaster of the United Arab Emirates. G42 has a record of using AI tools to prop up authoritarianism.
G42, the AI company controlled by the authoritarian royal family of the UAE, is a fascist nightmare.

Terawulf plans to use its AI data center on Cayuga Lake to serve the needs of G42. #G42 #Terawulf #AI #Fascism

While voters in New York’s 19th congressional district are suffering under the economic chaos caused by Donald Trump’s right wing extremism, Congressman Josh Riley seems to believe that Democratic leaders like Zohran Mamdani are the problem.

Josh Riley is out of touch. #Ithaca #NY19
Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca is joining Republicans to attack Democrats in New York State with resolutions that don't help working people.

This is not what we elected Josh Riley to do!
It's time for Congressman Josh Riley to resign and let a real Democrat take his place.

Josh Riley of Ithaca refuses to speak out against Trump fascism, but just voted for a REPUBLICAN resolution condeming ALL forms of socialism...
… as if public schools and Social Security are the biggest threat America faces right now.
Josh Riley is sabotaging his own re-election campaign.
Ithaca, your Congressman, Josh Riley, just voted for REPUBLICAN legislation that "denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies."

Public schools, Social Security, Medicare are all socialist policies.

As the GOP wrecks America, Josh Riley applauds them.

Congressman Josh Riley of Ithaca voted today to end Washington DC’s Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022.

People living around Cayuga Lake should look at this: Even when it has billions pumped into its coffers by the big tech corporations, Terawulf can't hold its business together.
It flopped at Bitcoin. Now it's flopping in data centers.
Terawulf stock is down almost 30% in the last month!

Did you see that Josh Riley bypassed the local Lansing Democrats to meet with the Republican county legislator Mike Sigler and the local GOP men who ran write-in candidates against our Democratic candidates for town board? And then posted about it thanking Sigler. Why'd you do that Josh Riley?
