Meta at work, but half those accounts might be fake (also meta at work, hard at work on dead internet theory)

This. The New York Times has been a fascist rag for a while now. The best course of action is to boycott, shun, ostracize and make them pariahs.

The Boy Scouts was a Mormon organisation??
I thought it was a Christian organisation.

I thought people were just using that because of the character limit. Like, because it is three whole character shorter. Are you saying people are actually using it for some sort of intentional purpose? If so… ick.

Two small pieces of wood have been cut into roughly the shape of the state of Alabama, then painted with a diagonal rainbow (the gay pride flag) plus brown, black, light blue, white and light pink (for people of color and transgender folks).  I have then painted the words β€œY’all Means ALL,” and, β€œNo Fascist USA” in white, which I will then outline with a darker color. Next, I glue a small magnet to the back of each one and paint my signature on the back.  Then they’re varnished, dried, and ready to go!

Working on a new set of these again, because every time I paint more, people come in and buy them! πŸ˜…

Yes, even here in Alabama!

That’s true too. But I do believe they really REALLY want us all to shut up about Epstein and how they’re all kidfuckers. We’re not gonna, though.

Still, saying the regime is throwing more shit at us hoping we can’t focus on any one thing doesn’t inherently deny the horror & evil of each thing.

Dude… that’s just how evil these people are. They’re willing to bomb children to try to distract from the fact that they rape children.

(β€œTry” being the operative word. It’s not gonna work.)

No. You’re NOT making sure that no corrupt candidates get elected. Fucking look dude, they’re getting elected most of the time. Clearly what you’re doing isn’t working. Unless that’s literally what you’re trying to do, which is what I’m starting to suspect. Just calling you Sergei from here on out.

I have read this seven times and I simply cannot figure out what it means, so I apologize but, is this one of those shit-posts the kids like to do? Or is it referring to real things in a language I simply cannot comprehend? Can anyone Explain Like I’m An Old Woman Living In A Hut In The Woods?

I’m sure a lot of Democrats condone it. Just as I’m sure, as I said, that most Republicans are actively trying to perpetrate it.

YEP. Blue no matter who is necessary right now because the literal, actual only option is MAGA. If they’re still calling themselves Republican then they’re supporting it tacitly or enthusiastically!! democrats aren’t doing anywhere near enough to stop genocide. Republicans WANT TO DO GENOCIDE.

Condone? Heck, most of the people who voted this fascist piece of crap into office are trying to do another one right here!

I know that at least for me, personally, I do tend to lose a lot of sympathy for anyone who does a genocide. Good god I wish that was true for everyone.

No. This is not how we got here. Not by a long shot. Very much the opposite. You do not appear to actually know what that phrase means or indicates.

If they don’t figure out how serious this is and start acting accordingly, they - not just their constituents - are going to wind up imprisoned and/or executed. We all know that MAGA will do that if they possibly can.

You all need to also understand that you’re really fighting to keep YOURSELVES and most of your constituents alive and out of jail. The MAGA cult has been plain - they plan to outlaw their opposition party just like the original Nazis did, and jail or execute Democrats. Big *and* small-d democrats.

Wellp, looks like they lit a fire under my ass to finally find a better point of sale and inventory system than Square!

For serious. I had a great hairstylist named Dusty who appeared as a 42-year old woman the first times I went. Later on I went back and Dusty was transitioning and looked like a 25-year-old man. I’m like whatever you’re doing it’s working for ya!!!!

If there was Girl Scouts, but for boys, I’d send my son to that. Boy Scouts was always a little too toxic and β€œcreepy youth pastor”-coded for me, but now much moreso.
