Dear #BJJ community: The next few years will be difficult as hate challenges our core values. We'll be told to "stop overreacting" and "stop being political." DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE. They want us to be silent because it normalizes their hate and makes their assault on our community easier.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

There's been a lot of a debate about whether the president Is dumb or not.. Allow me to end this. He is a moron. But my Chihuahua is also a moron, and yet he's able to accomplish wild, unimaginable feats on a daily basis despite his walnut-sized brain.

@repschneider.bsky.social Respectfully, Congressman, I have voted for you each time, and I've been satisfied with the job you've done. You've been a great peacetime rep, but you are not a wartime rep, and these people are making war on us. "You are not a wolf. And this is the land of wolves now."

I really wish all these people who want to be ruled by a king would just fuck off to a country that has one. Thailand’s pretty and has amazing food. They’ve even got lèse-majesté laws to stop people from upsetting your bootlicking souls.

Watching what this administration is doing to the Constitution is like watching your dog have it's way with your favorite stuffed animal as a kid. Sure, you can put it through the washer, but you're always gonna look at it differently.

If Democrats are not going to do the hard thing here and put their asses in the line, it's going to fall on normal people to do it. "You want us to get arrested?" Yes, if that's what it takes to increase visibility.
