The text reads, "Take a lesson from the Liberal Party of Canada- they are not cowering or flinching or saying if they donโ€™t negotiate with Trump it will make Canadians worse off. They are fighting back. And their numbers have skyrocketed since." The post praises the Liberal Party of Canadaโ€™s approach to dealing with Trump, suggesting their resistance has boosted their popularity.

This sure is something.

Maybe it's the atheist in me. Or the former polytheist. Or the ex-Baptist. I don't know, but this seems awful blasphemous. And culture. And fuckin weird.

They're eating your Medicare. They're eating your Social Security.

They're eating the funds of the people who paid into them.

This is precisely the point. It is by design.

Oligarchies/autocracies have been working together for years, to consolidate economic/political power, attack democracies, destroy accountability, checks & balances, rule of law, etc, wherever they can.

Trump/Musk are a mutation of a global virus.

โ—๏ธTrump wants to remove President Zelensky from power in Ukraine, โ€” The Economist

The article says that Trump considers the Ukrainian leader โ€œuncomfortableโ€, so it is not even about Trumpโ€™s desire to hold elections, but rather โ€œremoving Zelensky from powerโ€.

oh wait, Donny canโ€™t call up the Aviation Safety Committee โ€” because right now, thereโ€™s no one at the other end to pick up the phone. Donny canโ€™t get the answers heโ€™s demanding because thereโ€™s no one left in government with the expertise to figure out what the fuck just happened. the stupid shit fired them all.

The plane crash is ๐Ÿ’ฏ on Trump!

Trump fired 100+ FAA personnel and its his man Pete Hegseth over the Pentagon.

Trumps Executive Orders have consequences!!

Here's a picture of Lilith's white crescent belly spot. May it offer some solace in these fascist, bullshit times.

Americans forget that we already have a concentration camp:

A confined space where crimes are covered up with more crimes because laws do not exist

Non-profit creates opt out forms against State Superintendent Ryan Walters A non-profit called Defense of Democracy has created opt-out forms for parents who want their child to have no interaction with Ryan Walters in any capacity, which includes the recent prayer video.

If you are in Oklahoma or know others that are with school age children, please pass this along to them. Defense of Democracy created opt-out forms for Ryan Walterโ€™s forced bible instruction. Letโ€™s keep getting in good trouble!

So, it's starting to get pretty cool here in Indiana, and Lilith has been hiding downstairs in my room so she can huddle under the comforters.

Well... I had an idea.
