I'm kinda sorry to admit that he's probably correct. 😕

Turns out that when Americans said "If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German now..." their objection was to learning a second language, not fascism.

These are the same chuds who used to play paintball every weekend to shoot each other. Now they're being paid with our money to shoot us with their paintball guns while secretly imagining they're assault rifles. Nice government we've got here.

Without provocation, masked federal agents indiscriminately shoot peaceful protesters with rubber bullets from the rooftop of the Portland ICE facility.

The Nobel committee could help us so much by awarding it to Greta - all of his bodily systems would seize up the moment he heard the news.

If you're going out to do some liberating, tuck your phone into your dog's collar so it "proves" you were walking around your house all day.

When the Tea Party brought muskets, tricorn hats, and Gadsden flags to DC they never used that word. Wonder why.

Any such President would fly there, meet with the governor, take a helicopter ride over the battle zone. He knows it’s not happening or he’d be there throwing rolls of paper towels

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

ICE: take us seriously, we're cosplaying as soldiers as we brutally execute immigration law.

Portland: we're going to dance in front of your building in a rainbow unicorn cosfume.

Never ever ever use “notwithstanding.” Have you ever seen it clarify a text, as opposed to obfuscating it?

Trump's Four Freedoms:

Freedom from shame. Freedom from accountability. Freedom from responsibility. Freedom from empathy.

This whole stupid, destructive mess is about being freed from the obligations of reasonable, kind, responsible adulthood.

“Swiss firm has patented, and has now inaugurated, the world’s first two solar foundries for melting down steel for reuse. Consisting of 500 concave mirrors mounted on a heliostat that allows them to track the Sun, each is focused into furnace’s chamber until it reaches 2,000 degrees Celsius.”
