Vote like your best mate is indigenous, your daughter is gay, your uncle is on NDIS, your brother is on the poverty line, your neighbour is an immigrant and your kids have to live on this planet for decades after you leave.

Work drained the life out of me today & looks like the rest of the week is going to be the same but on the way home a guy in his car at a red light pulled this Kramer feat, then did guilty side eyes. It was the greatest & funniest thing I've ever seen while driving.

If you are trying to convince a Christian to see your side by quoting scripture at them, you've already lost the battle.

They believe they have a better interpretation of their sky daddy fan-fic than you do.

However bad it looks now its going to look a fuck of a lot worse when they try (and likely suceed) to void any unfavorable midterm results.

They are the tyranny. The revolution should be around any minute now… right?

ICE isn’t law enforcement.

They’re chaos agents. Trump’s personal goon squad, recruited specifically to stoke fear and unrest in our communities.

They are a catalyst for him to claim absolute power.

Likening them to the Gestapo is accurate…and warranted.

In public, they might say ‘no one has died’
In private, people like Stephen Miller and Elon musk and the Trump coterie are likely gleeful that brown and Black children are dying.

As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

📌 Historic fascists with plenary authority:
• Hitler
• Mussolini
• Stalin

Plenary authority or plenary powers: Absolute and without limitations.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.
