Has anyone else come up with “FOXycontin?”
My dad is addicted.

If not. I lay claim.

(Yes I know I could Google it)

Be careful at next week’s No Kings my friends. Don’t trust anyone but the people who you came with.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

Fuckin A.
So much for telling military to remember their oath. Would have been JFK who signed this into law.

Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social · 14h

Folks, the oath of enlisted people and officers are two different oaths. The officer's oath does not include the stuff about the president.

Whey Standard @wheystandard.bsky.social · 14h

Again, the oath has mentioned obeying orders of the President since 1789. Here it is as established by Congress in 1962, in Public Law 87-751 (codified then in 10 USC 501, codified after 1968 in 10 USC 502):

That shit-eating grin makes me want to (well, insert your own ending)

sal9009.bsky.social @sal9009.bsky.social · 13h

Of course!
I guess I just to incarcerated to mean convict. Really hoping that happens.

First official coffee hot chocolate of the season. Not appreciating the chill that requires it, but do look forward to these cups of liquid cocoa love.

Cup of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream. Yes, it’s all vegan.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

The masses just don’t get or don’t want to get, the authoritarian/dictatorial/fascist reality. I keep waving this sign at people in cars because maybe it will at least register with a few. Then I flip it to the What will… side.

Despite strong objections from Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and the people of Chicago, the Trump regime is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago today.

If you are in Chicago and need guidance on how to interact with the Guard, here’s a helpful guide:

If you don’t want to live in a police state, SHOW UP for No Kings 2 on 10/18. And get ready for The American Spring.

Well, conMAN… for now. Can’t wait until he is convicted then you can use convict.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

The shadow government Heritage Foundation wants to normalize armed military in cities just like the Third Reich did. Instill fear, allow deadly reprisals without due process, install military governance.

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

The case against the coup plotters was solid, ready and would definitely win in court according to a person I know who was involved in putting it together. The facts will come out eventually —hopefully before it’s too late.
I bet Garland feared civil war, but it’s gonna happen nonetheless.

The #GreedyOldPricks is doing everything in its power to piss off snd incite an incident to give them carte blanche to declare martial law as well as start arresting elected officials.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
