Trump declared war on AMERICAN CITIES. This is treason. It's black letter law. Not hyperbole.
Iโm horrified by Trumpโs order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. Weโre only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If youโre in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

The local football clubs need coaches and lines-folk and referees, The allotments need looked after, the local parks need planted, And if you don't want to help with anything above, Just admit you do not give a sh*t, and shut the f*ck up.

No one should get violent threats. But if youโre gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. IโVe been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think itโs evidence that we need to say it louder
