Meant what I said. Just blocked a couple who couldn't help themselves. If you have been around our community long enough you know I don't lie. I'll say it again. I will be blocking people.

Sen. Murphy: I’m Preparing for Dystopia In an interview with The Bulwark, the Connecticut Democrat outlines how bad it could get and what his party must now do.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: "'I’m getting prepared for the worst. Which is, you know, arrest warrants for members of Congress, shutdowns of not-for-profit organizations that are trying to cross Donald Trump.'"

Maga sucks!

Before the election

Tom Homan-Trump’s choice for Border Czar

Said claims that the administration would start mass sweeps of cities was “ridiculous”

Now-as Trump readies the military to conduct mass deportations

Homan promises “shock and awe”

Project 2025 doesn’t seem so far-fetched now, does it

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.

Republicans want to cut $30 billion from SNAP, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

And the private non-profit school, where I am the cfo.

I stopped watching them a while ago. But I did continue to follow them on all my social media, and as of today that is no longer the case. This is where the rubber meets the road, people are going to stand up and be counted, or they're going to wimp out, and those who wimp out need to be called out.

Current disposition: Watching My Cousin Vinny. It's got more rule of law than we're gonna see in the next four years.

SpaceX and Amazon just filed a case with the 5th Circuit Court of appeals to have the National Labor Relations Board declared unconstitutional.

I’ve spent this year reporting on the people and policies to expect in Trump 2.0 — from Project 2025 and attacks on civil servants to MAGA's plan to “eradicate” all mentions of climate change.

A quick 🧵...

Did you see that trump had Elon mess with the algorithm so that trump now has more followers than Taylor swift. He's such a f****** child.

A lot of people don't even realize how many organizations are non-profits. For example, every Credit Union in the United States. Every social service organization, every private nonprofit school. Every political action committee. It would give him vast power over billions of dollars.

I’m not calling that asshole felon rapist traitor “President-elect.”

Fuck him.

Joe Scarborough and Mika from Morning Joe, their ratings plummeting, made a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago because they decided if you can't beat him, grovel for access and help normalize him AGAIN.

STOP 👏
WATCHING👏
MORNING👏
JOE👏

I'm so glad I stumbled across you. Somehow this makes me less frantic. ❤️🤍💙

Despite foreign influence, billionaires pulling out all stops and losing a candidate 3 months before the election this election was razor close. No there is no mandate for these radicals. That will not stop them, but we can make them PAY FOR IT!

These plans for using the military for mass deportations and domestic ops is much more dangerous than you can imagine. I know because I saw what happened in Iraq. We must rally and push back. Check out my latest post and I hope you'll subscribe for free or paid! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Whelp, we’re about to see what America has the stomach for. I don’t think it’s for this

Does anyone else get twitchy palms and the urge to kick throats when reading about "rambunctious lives" and having sex with unconscious, non-consenting bodies as NOT actually rape? 🤬

Welcome to the Derp State.

Morning, friends. Time to dig back in to all of this.
Democracy matters.

It's not a difference of political opinions if the opposing side's opinion is that you aren't human or shouldn't exist. That's not how anything works.

Someone that lives in my town has one of those 12 ft tall skeletons. I guess they either don't know how to take it apart, or they like it a lot. Because now they just leave it up year-round and dress it for the holidays as they roll around.

My son has been on Abilify for about four months. It's the first time he has genuinely laughed, not that sad sarcastic laugh, but a genuine happy laugh, in about ten years.

Access my ass, they caved to fascism. Cowards.
