Before Pridefest today Springfield SHOWED UP for the #NOKINGS protests #missouri *cut short for bluesky’s 60 sec limit

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Respect

Just logged in to the other place for the first time in a long time. My "Following" feed was filled with stuff I guarantee I've never followed.

Unlike your time as a US Rep, people actually expect the IRS commissioner to do their job, Billy

Goddammit. One of the people that falsely accused him of this is now the Missouri Secretary of State. The other two, Rick Brattin and Nick Schroer are the reason why women chose the bear. They'll never stop being the villains. apnews.com/article/chie...

Did you exchange a walk on part in the war For a leading role in a cage?

In a functioning democracy, these comments alone would be grounds for impeachment.

And not one of them thanked Joe Biden for the $ to fund the projects.

In the office doing treasurer work for the county party. WHO DID THIS?

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

If this is your response to the dismantling of the Dept of Education, you’re kind of a piece of shit. Because here’s the thing, my political views are what they are because I care deeply about other people, especially kids. I live under a 22+ year GOP supermajority. “Fuck them kids” is their motto.

“WHy dO YOu tAlK sO mUcH aBOuT tRAnS pEOpLe?” We don’t…the right keeps the focus on trans people and trans children to distract from the Republican grift. We do believe all people should have rights and deserve dignity. Pretty standard.

This article might dampen your weekend mood, but it's a must read. The situation in the US government is already dire, but trying to comprehend what comes next is even more unsettling.

Whenever these guys get mad they always use descriptors that make the person they're mad at sound awesome by accident

Lil'un (10yo) didn't pickup on a quote earlier this week and Big'un (19 yo)'s girlfriend apparently never saw the movie. We rectified those errors tonight. youtu.be/hvw1uLra_MQ?...

The places we’re pulling foreign aide dollars from now are the places we’ll be forced to send American soldiers to risk their lives in ten years.

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

The house is starting another Jan 6 committee. I actually look forward to re-litigating this. Let’s do it. 187 minutes of watching people assault cops, then pardoning them Bring it on Mike

They are such mrons

Those were the two I was thinking about as well. Small, petty, cowardly man

Oof

The inspiration I need every day…

Parson will be remembered as a small man made petty and vindictive by rising beyond his abilities.

This is a bloody amazing read. And this is frightening as hell. "They told him about their ties with high-ranking officers in Missouri and in Louisiana, in Texas and in Tennessee."

Posting this story about how Ann Telnaes got censored not least bc it'll disseminate the image Jeff Bezos censored. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Happy New Year! We have dragons to slay.

Stop. Relying. On. This. If we learned anything in November, it's that we should stop relying on this.

Thanks again. Your opponent should not be anywhere near public office ... much less walk into one unopposed.

One of my old papers and the town where my wife is from. You know what would have made this better? More guns. www.qcsunonline.com/story/2024/1...

This made me snort way more than it should have

Wonder why Trump threatens to attack allies? Because he is scared to death to show actual strength. But he can scream and yell at allies because it makes him LOOK strong to MAGAs and he will never have to actually prove it. Again, he’s a frightened boy looking for dads approval

$20k and a promise to not do it again? Also, wtf was Humana doing in there?

I’m with Denmark.

Surprising absolutely no one in SWMO

This should have been banned a long time ago.
