Grass will never grow on some people’s graves no matter how much fertilizer is added to them.

Headlines from the August 24, 2025 Washington Post: “Pentagon drafts plans to dispatch troops to Chicago”.

Headline from the March 8, 1936 San Francisco Chronicle: “15,000 Nazis Line Rhine As France Mans Border”

Different times, similar feel. Bad things are happening. Worse things are on the way. #WorldWarTrump

Real southern men don’t kneel before kings!

Remember only you can prevent fascism! So bad, even the introverts are here

No South Carolina Alcatraz Trump Always Chickens Out

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Mayor Karen Bass just told me that there was a kids summer camp in MacArthur Park when the federal agents in camp and long guns swooped in and they had to be brought inside so they didn’t get completely freaked out.

Done

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

Persons in America should never, under any circumstances, ever be even approached by heavily armed and masked men claiming to represent the government. Period. This is what Fascism looks like. This is what evil looks like.

America would love to deport Trump and Carlson… and a few more on my list.

Are we at war with Iran?

Well I guess there’s no reason for Gabbard to be drawing a government paycheck then, right?

My second protest ever. My wife’s first. All this year.

Another video from early on in the protest. More people were streaming in.

I’m told there was upwards of 5k at this rally alone.

It got rather too warm for us old folks. But the young people had energy to spare. I’m so proud of them!

Two signs “No Kings” and “remember, only you can prevent fascism”.

Somewhere around 5000 people all gathered together to celebrate American democracy.

The #NoKings rally in Greenville SC was huge and inspiring!

We feed you.
They hunt us.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

So Johnson wants all cops to be faceless stormtroopers?

HEATWAVE (Palindrome)

To hoses I ran:
Use now,
as I saw
one sun
arise
so hot.

I have really enjoyed the Murderbot tv series. They did an excellent job of honoring the original stories.

NEW YORK TIMES (2020): U.S. DEATHS NEAR 100,000, AN INCALCULABLE LOSS

5 years ago: “An incalculable loss”

Today: Banning masks and restricting vaccine access

I’ll say it again - when *any* politician uses the ‘I haven’t read that story’ lie about something they knew they would get asked about, the interviewer has a duty to say ‘Okay, in that case I’m going to terminate this interview and you can come back when you’re better prepared.”

I wish the USA would help them.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

From now on Air Force One will be renamed The BribeJet!

Isn’t there a war going on over there?
