Has anyone else come up with “FOXycontin?”
My dad is addicted.

If not. I lay claim.

(Yes I know I could Google it)

Glad you like my play on words.
Hate that I had reason to come up with it. My dad is addicted.

And the blissfully ignorant will just take another dose of #FOXycontin to make all this painful reality all go away

And there it is.
The true and final blow to neutral management and oversight of elections.

You never know. ;-)
They have literally said that they yýțwant to have an army of social media monitors.
More importantly, don’t drag a cool icon into the Himmler space. These days, we need to be more strategic and hard hitting, IMHO.

So which of the many, many #NoKingsDay actions will YOU take part in? At very least there’s surely a banner brigade in your area, but to really make a difference, march or join a rally, or the very easy hands across Alexandria event on Route 1! Want to join me for this No Kings event? mobilize.us

Not cool. I loathe #HimlerMiller but please don’t conflate him with a comic icon. Paul Rubens’ Pee Wee Herman never represented anything negative.
Plus this too serious of an issue for cute jokes.
Use the Himmler reference or maybe #Voldemiller if you want to annoy him. Thx for coming to my Ted Talk

That bit in the oath about obeying the POTUS is a problem.

Annual exam my eye.
That Trumpin’ #MotherTrumper is a walking imminent heart attack. Then again he
is so full of bile and snake oil that it’s a wonder he doesn’t just melt or explode.

NOTE: Leavitt says Trump will "stop by for his routine yearly check up."

But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.

Such utter fools who would be a joke if they weren’t so very very dangerous.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Be careful at next week’s No Kings my friends. Don’t trust anyone but the people who you came with.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

Fuckin A.
So much for telling military to remember their oath. Would have been JFK who signed this into law.

Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social · 1d

Folks, the oath of enlisted people and officers are two different oaths. The officer's oath does not include the stuff about the president.

Whey Standard @wheystandard.bsky.social · 1d

Again, the oath has mentioned obeying orders of the President since 1789. Here it is as established by Congress in 1962, in Public Law 87-751 (codified then in 10 USC 501, codified after 1968 in 10 USC 502):

First official coffee hot chocolate of the season. Not appreciating the chill that requires it, but do look forward to these cups of liquid cocoa love.

Cup of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream. Yes, it’s all vegan.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

The masses just don’t get or don’t want to get, the authoritarian/dictatorial/fascist reality. I keep waving this sign at people in cars because maybe it will at least register with a few. Then I flip it to the What will… side.
