Okay…who is bringing something to the next antifa secret meeting that is not potato salad? And who the hell has the sign up list?

Diane @dianeiam.bsky.social · 2h

It’s an ongoing problem. I’m not gonna name names, but every month it gets stalled on the same guy’s desk. It’s why we end up with so much potato salad…no one knows what the heck they’re supposed to bring so they wing it.

We really gotta fix that process. I mean, I don’t wanna name names either (Patrick) but come on. We can only eat so much potato salad.

I think it is quite reasonable to ask whether the supposedly rigid standards Secretary Kegstand announced at Quantico just days ago do not actually apply to any white men from red states who are in the process of illegally invading blue states

America has the right to know it if that's the case now

Agreed! We can’t do any worse that’s for damn sure.

Men have had 10,000 years to lead humanity, and that interminable epoch led to this equally interminable concert.

I think we—I mean men—are officially done.

This concert was our grand finale.

Women—and only women—should lead the world for the next 10,000 years. Let’s see where that gets humanity.

Milei capers around on stage whilst the country falls to pieces. This is a perfect encapsulation of his role, a narcisistic fool who clowns around and holds peoples attention whilst the Argentine ruling class reduces the country back to the level of neo-colonial dependency last seen prior to 1914.

Though I'm a Musk biographer, I can't make the following claim with certainty—only contend that it's informed speculation.

I don't think Musk thinks *we're* in a simulation.

I think Musk thinks *he's* in a simulation.

Take a moment to process what that means about the value of human life to Musk.

Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you probably privately agree on this much:

Trump and his lawyers—Bondi and Patel—are ACTING like the Epstein Files include smoking-gun evidence of Trump raping kids.

They are ACTING like a domestic military escalation is worth distracting us from the Files.

I tried all day to join antifa.
I was thwarted!
•No website.
•No email.
•No Substack.
•No Instagram.
•No LinkedIn
•No TikTok
•Not even a lousy Facebook page.

I wonder if Pam Bondi can help me find them.

Aftyn Behn Wins the Democratic Primary!

It’s official — Aftyn Behn is the Democratic nominee for Congress in Tennessee’s 7th District! 💙

This victory belongs to every volunteer, voter, and believer who knocked doors, made calls, and showed that people power still wins in Tennessee.

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."

Bondi can’t say NO.
Interesting that Bondi claims Whitehouse takes dark money which can easily be debunked.
But brings this up to deflect from answering the Q about photos Epstein took of Trump with half naked girls and kept in his safe.
Release the Epstein files to clear the air.
