Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump.

He’s going against exactly what he said he would do last year.

I think it's fun that we have to guess if the president is saying something because he's a liar, because his advisors are liars, or because of his dementia

My wife @pattyskuster.bsky.social is in Portland today. It’s a war zone, insurrectionists and sunflowers everywhere.

Pretty flowers at the downtown farmers’ market.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

i could, not sure if i want to go down too much of a rabbit hole with that though. omarchy seemed nice because of the simpler install process (and i'm not experienced with linux)

The Trump regime's war on Christianity continues, as regime troops attacks Americans across the United States and rounds up majority Christian immigrants, they've also targeted religious leaders.

Here the Trump regime ICE forces shot a pastor in the head in the latest attack on civilians.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

wanted to try out omarchy, but found that (with the easy installer anyway) there isn't an option to dual-boot with my windows installation. so i guess it'll be something i try if i ever get a new laptop instead

lol just now seeing this

Flyer reading:

California Ave is for CARS ONLY!

The best thing for our community is maximizing CAR STORAGE and CARS DRIVING on California! Join us in supporting cars over people!

The Farmer’s Market is already the WORST time of the week:
★ families strolling
★ kids playing
★ local businesses benefitting from all the foot traffic
DESPICABLE and frankly UN-AMERICAN!

And now there’s talk of extending that safe, quiet environment of community and human connection for the whole weekend! Who wants that? WE DON’T!

The ONLY thing our neighborhood’s most popular commercial corridor needs is TWO LANES of car storage and FOUR LANES of car traffic. There’s simply no room for anything else.

Together, we’ll keep California for CARS NOT PEOPLE!
Join us @ CarsOnlyCalifornia.com

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.
