You want them voted out. I want them dragged from their homes naked in the middle of the night and taken to The Hague. We are not the same.

Former DJT operative Lev Parnas: "Why is no one in the media asking:
Why are Trump and Putin praising each other while Ukrainian civilians are being burned alive?
Why has no one reported on the quiet Russian delegation that arrived in D.C.?
Why are we not hearing anything from Steve Witkoff?
The answer is simple: they don’t want you to know...what you’re seeing now—the praise, the silence, the inaction—is the execution of deals that were already made."

For the record, I am condoning this.

The next time you see someone in plain clothes with a mask on abducting a person in broad daylight, don't assume they have the right to do so.

Go buy zipties and face masks.
The same as the ones these sick fucks use.
Jump the kidnapper.
Hogtie them.
Zip-tie them.
Leave them there.
Take their car to an undisclosed location.
Set it the fuck on fire.
I AM condoning this.
I AM inciting this.
I am not a fed.
I am fed the fuck up.

I like this idea.

my boyfriend: we could start dressing up as ICE agents and escorting people from their immigration hearings so it looks like they’ve already been detained but we just give them a ride home.

The precious soul,
Undaunted
-Though across continents dragged-
Across centuries glides,

Imbued with spirit,
Fortified,

The precious Soul
Does yet
Abide

Tea tableau for Juneteenth centering on a portrait of a beautiful African-American child looking off into the distance, backed by a halo of wildflowers. There are African inspired textiles, a blazing sun mosaic candle, Rooibos Tea native to Africa, a gleaming orange FireKing mug, and loose beads and pearls scattered around like the Diaspora, with a separate section of beads held together by an invisible, unbroken cord.

A dear friend made that amazing paper flower; another dear friend gave me the china. I made the cozy & the picture magnet. The sea made the shell. The remaining items came from thrift shops. Life can be so good.

@MAKS23 Like he did with the Budapest Agreement. That argument goes both ways.

Y'all were wondering which way the army would break. This is as clear an answer as you're going to get.

This isn't a mistake. It's a message.

Edit: cut out "During drills they were perfectly in time" because I don't have receipts to show. Linking to a longer video in a threads post that shows a bit more intense of a juxtaposition between themselves and the division in front of them. This thread makes the same claim about drills, but I also don't see video.

threads.com/@davidmorehouse/po

Edit: to clarify a bit, this is one division. The division in front of them in the longer video is in step. This isn't "the whole army is going to refuse" but this may be, "some units are fed up enough to make it clear they don't want to play, which is saying a lot."

Any division that exists needs to be cultivated. The way you cultivate that is absolutely not by lumping them all together. Some of the military voted for Trump, some don't care, some hate him. All of them are being treated like shit right now. All of them swore an oath to defend the constitution. Some of them probably know what that means.

I'm absolutely not a fan of the military, but I will take every opportunity I can to humanize these folks. Look for every opportunity you can to remind them that they are welcome on our side whenever they're ready to actually fulfill their oath, and we will appreciate every subtle bit of resistance they give to those who are violating it in the meantime.

Very proud to be a part of the Fediverse on days like this. Didn’t see a single stupid post about his stupid, fascist parade today and my timeline is FILLED with posts, images and videos of the counter protests.

You keep doing you, Mastodon. You’re alright. 👍🖖

#remember

: At age 22, most of us were very likely doing drugs and drinking beer. But not Greta Thunberg. She is risking her life, fighting for a group in need.

If you think that's not the greatest example to follow, YOU are the problem!

LAPD shot my finger with a rubber bullet, I was wearing motorcycle gloves with padding but no armor in the fingers. Just got out of seeing an orthopedist, the bone is badly fractured and I very nearly had to have the tip amputated. If I had no gloves it would have been gone. Please add padded or armored gloves to your safety gear.

Every time I see estimated costs for Trump's birthday parade, and $15m of the budget is allocated for road repairs afterward, I wonder about the gullibility of both the people putting together these estimates and those reporting on it

So, a quick poll

The damaged roads in DC will be repaired:
