You'd expect a deputy denied his right to be leader to be pissed off, but when a cat from another clan, who happens to be Tigerstar's kit, gets involved—something stinks of fox dung. Mudclaw and Hawkfrost. 🌲🌩️

They hoped to find the best possible territory for Sky Clan—and they sure did, sister! Leafstar and Squirrelstar. 🍃🐿️

Imagine the cesspool we now live in that it is politically damaging to admonish Nazis and racists and fascists.

Problem is this fuck controls the narrative with ‘Merica Populism. He tapped into our ugly underbelly—racism and the fear of people seen as different or below them—Democrats need a populist message that is anathema to that. But Dems are too old and too afraid to knuckle up and do it. #dems

He may share his father‘s dark pelt and piercing stare, but the son is one of the noblest cats the lake territories have ever known. The father…was not. Tigerstar and Bramblestar. 🐅⭐️🪾⭐️

How can a man be both a conman and a sucker at the same time?

SteamPoweredSoul @steampoweredsoul.bsky.social · 3d

It’s more distraction politics, scapegoating, and blame shifting. Problem is: ‘Merica falls for it.

Charlie Kirk's gravesite. The residents of the landfill have filed a lawsuit against the Republican party for illegal dumping. "The stink is stomach turning," said a half-eaten chicken finger.” This used to be such a nice neighborhood..." 🤢🗑️

The MAGA response: “‘Bout time ‘Mericas speak the truuf.” Vile.

If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

When his former medicine cat said he had no brains, it’s no surprise he willingly let a fox-heart take over his clan. Blackstar and Sol. 🌗⚫️

I live in Jersey. Voting for governor is soon. But who we vote for doesn't matter. In NJ, no matter the party, no official does anything the average schmuck notices. So, between #Ciattarelli (R), MAGA/Trump lackey, or #Sherrill (D), not MAGA—vote Sherrill. At least she's not a traitor. 🚁🔵 #nj #maga

If they sold motor oil in a can today, dumbasses would fucking drink it and then sue because they're imbeciles—and some douche lawyer would totally take up the case. STP ad, 1967. 🏎️🥫

Tigerclaw is drawn and written nasty as fuck in The Prophecy Begins graphic novels—menacing, and vicious and treacherous. Brokentail too. Darkstripe is as much of a fox-heart as he is in the original six books. Fuck’em all! Tigerclaw. 🐅⭐

Makes you wonder just how much Israel thinks about Palestinian lives. 20 hostages are still believed to be alive. That said, 2000 for 20 means Israel thinks each Israeli life is worth 100 Palestinian lives. This is what happens when your "holy book" says you're the "chosen people." #atheism

Underneath all the matted fur and bad temper was one of the most noble, wise, and loyal cats the clans have ever known--hilarious too. The old medicine cat shines in The Prophecy Begins graphic novel. Her art is on point too. Yellowfang. 🐈🟡

High inflation and lack of jobs leave Americans frustrated with the economy

Americans have soured on the prospect of finding new jobs, a new survey shows. And they’re still frustrated by persistent inflation, giving them little confidence that the economy will improve soon.

Yes. The Warriors graphic novels skip some plot points and sub-plots in the original six books—get over it!—it’s still fun to see The Prophecy Begins brought to (sort of) life. Yellowfang is drawn perfectly and Firestar rocks the cover! 🐈🔥⭐️
