A democracy-loving ibex, protesting since 1969. Ally of the Heard and McDonald Islands penguins. Flippers up! Resistance is NOT futile.

Upside down US flag. Text underneath says, "We are not ok".

Make sure that what you buy is authentic, made by a Native American. It's the imitation pieces made by non-Natives that are appropriation.

Yikes.

The President and party of bad math.

Yup. My parents were born in the US a few years after yours. Neither spoke English until they went to school.

Plenty of us children of proud Antifa warriors still around, too.

Who is this?

Yael @dlyael.bsky.social · 3d

No need. I was asking trmp, not you! Sorry if that wasn't clear.

By what definition is Hamas "fine"?

Yael @dlyael.bsky.social · 3d

#NoKingsDay2.0 is important -- be there! But we can't just wait for those huge events that others initiate. Before and after Oct 18, do other actions -- small or large, alone or with others. We must be persistent and consistent!

Responding effectively to Kimmel only required boycotting a network. Safe and easy! Responding effectively to the horror in Chicago requires putting one's own body on the line.

My immigrant friends, neighbor, and relative voted for Harris (and Biden before her, and Clinton...). Yeah, surprise: some immigrants are Repubs, and some are Dems. 🙄

The timing suggests that he might've been bit by a werewolf.

Most MAGAs just use terms like that as generic political slurs. They don't care about their actual definitions.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov, why are your State Police helping ICE and hindering protests?

"As comical as many of Trump’s comments were..."

None of it was comical.

In this case, wouldn't it be a tunnel too far? 😉

You mean in the meme? Those are trmp's words! He's quoting him!

My first educational thread on this site: Why Christians need to stop using 'Pharisee' as a pejorative or a slur. Much of what I'm going to say here owes a great debt to people like Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg and JSX.

You mean the Trump who is Bibi's buddy and claims to be pro-Israel? Protecting the Qatar that protects the leaders of Hamas (you know, Israel's enemies)? Talk about playing all sides against each other!

I sure hope there are a lot of private conversations going on amongst the generals about refusing to comply with illegal orders.
