All I can say about everyone abandoning twitter is hello I love and I missed you. Welcome home, my beloved friends and family!

You belong. You did nothing wrong. And we gave it our all.

Now that that’s done, let’s try again.

Twitter was Camelot. Let’s do it again, and without the mistakes!

The FUSA is stupidly proud. Most folks are very chill. The real monsters have ran it way back to leading lives of quiet desperation.

My two-year old:

“Mike? Mike?”

Me: Yes, dear?

Intriguing plan that goes well beyond symbolism. "Trucks from the First Nation could soon be transporting food, furniture and even critical minerals south of the border along ancestral pathways once used to move buffalo hides and pemmican across the plains—without paying taxes or tariffs."

A thing may become immense and remain tiny.

Imagine growing but shrinking.

Thanos made an Infinity Tesla. The greatest Tesla in the universe.

It crashed into a tree and caught fire and fell into a swamp and the radio only played Air Supply and the glove box was drawn in crayon.

LA and DC and Chicago showed us how it's done, Portland. We understand that Tr*mp is trying and failing over and over to incite violence. City after city is proving his outrageous lies about our communities wrong. Portlanders, it's our turn to show the world how extreme, ridiculous, false 47 is.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
