If you've seen images from the burned-out inside of Shapiro's house, you'll be aware this was a serious attempt to murder Governor Shapiro and his family that probably came quite close.

We’ve been exporting Dirty War, extra-judicial abductions, denial of basic rights (and worse) all over the world for decades, if not centuries, through our hateful foreign protégés. #Trump finally decided to bring it home. Welcome to “America for Americans”.

When breaking things is the actual point and moving fast is just an excise. #Musk #Trump #DOGE #Fascism #RESIST

They want to make the point that Trump & his agents cannot be challenged. Not by the people, not by the courts. Also, they don’t like brown people.

Holy.fucking.shit.

#Resist

How much of human #society is explained by people filling in the blanks of unclear utterances without even realizing they are doing it? #cognitive #psychology #communication

Sounds like a promising idea…

Posting & reposting on bluesky While I dry Clean now, I guess. The world I post in - and about Not so much Probably should have made more if that Rhyme. But why? #poem #badpoetry #linestoolong

This will test whether Republicans will ever oppose Trump on anything. After all the other things they’ve let him do, count me skeptical.

The New Quisling Times - All the news that fits the narrative we print.

Imagine the next viral outbreak. There’ll be no ambulances, no hospitals, no doctors. No vaccines certainly. Masks will be illegal. Where some govts in COVID locked people in their houses, ours will drag us out of our homes to big assemblies so we can contribute to herd immunity by dying.

MAGAt Feds attemping jury-rigging. Because they’re scum, and they know they’re wrong. “ICE’s deliberate and secretive hopscotch approach is an unlawful attempt to game the system”

The move to gray us can be crude like #MAGA, or relatively sophisticated, like ‘gender critical’ feminism. It’s all about stripping the #color from our lives, one hue at a time (and, of course, the #misery or worse of those bringing the color in).

when people argue with me about due process and how they'd be fine bc they're citizens, I just say "You can't prove you have the right papers if you go straight to prison and never get to show anyone your papers" and then most of them get it

#Imagine making your whole #political #identity around opposing everything that is symbolized by a #rainbow. It is like saying your view of perfection is bland, featureless, gray. #MAGA is about eliding everything that was starting to make us a great place to live.

Raises the question of who, besides the idiot, himself, DOES think the Scheißführer’s tariffs are a good thing? Maybe his buddy, Vlad.

This is not an exaggeration: illegally gutting this program will cause Americans to freeze to death in their homes.

Being on Substack makes me wonder: are there actually more writers than readers, these days? #writing #culture #internet #moderntimes

The importance of the Signal app to this administration - it's a core technology. They all use it on a daily basis. They couldn't cover their tracks without it - exactly like a drug cartel. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
