Only CIS white patriarchical racists hate diversity as it dilutes their power to be patriarchical racists.

Diversity means different perspective, opinions and thinking. That helps prevent group think, and adds to the conversation.

No Hawkstriders were hurt in this filming, but they definitely tried to maul the photographer, over, and over again, trying to get these shots.

That is based on the assumption rules will be followed. Given how lawless the current MAGA government is, it is unlikely they will respect or follow any rule that diminishes their power or control.

Free and fair election are unlikely to occur in America. Even if the Democrats win a rigged election with voter suppression, MAGA will not relinquish power. Expect Jan 6th on steroids.

I like your choices, this evokes strong emotions for the person in the portrait.

It almost like laws don't matter, but starting a war does?

It is unfortunate. I do hope people can be sensible and distinguish the action of a fascist government from a religion. Otherwise, I guess we blame all Christians for what America does? Please don't hate a religion for the act of messed up governments.

I am sorry these will sell out in your town. Hopefully you are safe.

I dare say you now have a protective force to keep the night spirits at bay. A lovely story.

Too funny. I suspect it stabs needles into your head to make you so angry!

I fear we will have the folly of more war, more corruption, more cruelty. Othering seems the order of the day, as a precursor to inhumane treatment. I always thought the world was improving. It was an illusion, how quickly bad actors pull back the curtain to show their horrific intent.

When I look at the world today, with fascism, lawlessness, corruption, cruelty, and inhumanity; International laws and norms are DOA, for example in the Pacific Ocean and Mediterranean Sea Where does this end? I can only conclude we have entered the age of irrationality and immorality.

Honestly, that is unlikely even if the Democrats regain control. As demonstrated with the January 6th insurrection. It would take decades to undo the damage done. That assumes this will end with MAGA not in power. At this point, that is not a forgone conclusion.

I won't embarrass HC, but I have done some very creative ways to help keep her clean when she has had surgery limiting her mobility. Props to Vinnie for finding a solution, he is a treasure.

Obviously, since they are red, white and blue.

That sounds like what a DV perpetrator says. He is a vile human being who uses words as a weapon, and is so disingenuous.

Trump offers a get out of jail card, but it is definitely not free.

It is cute to see a grown man playing make believe: "I will just make up laws to justify my awful behaviour". It would not be so horrifying if they are not armed and had malicious intent.

gnome sequencer will be next.

The camp in Florida is a dry run. The current administration has made it plain they delight in killing people without due process, or any respect for domestic or internal laws. Trump uses the constitution as toilet paper. If you are not a CIS white male or oppose them, you are a valid target.

Well, that site will go down soon, and the department that runs it gutted.

I believe that is working as intend. Trump seems determined to destroy any credibility of the USA federal government. The USA is racing from the most powerful, free society to third world fascist state at breathtaking speed.

Tim is my spirit animal!

So far they seem to be advancing that way. It is both saddening and sickening.

Please, for the love of all that is good, a return to sanity, science, and rational policies. Vaccines are more effective if we all get them. There are over a hundred year of work with vaccines, with scientific studies backing safety and effectiveness. The risk is exceptionally low of complications!

Cake for me, shit for you seems their general policy. Make them use the same services as the rest of the population, and they might actually care.

I agree what is happening is very bad. Sadly, having seen the parallels to other fascist, I know it will escalate to far, far worse; with the number of people displaced, disappeared, brutalised in the thousands and possibly millions. I sadly can see Trump supporting a "final solution".

It is not law, it is a lawless King's edict, designed to stoke hate to keep the masses distracted from his criminal past.

It is conditioning the public to get use to lawless, brutal, cruel, and lack of due process. I shudder at what comes next.
