The end of democracy

In the before times you would call this a conflict of interest and it would not be allowed.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

Obey the supreme leader.

WTF, University of Cincinnati?!?!

Lovely. Just lovely.

Bannon gives a Nazi salute at the end of his speech.

This is what demagogues do. Praise Keir. We love Big Brother.

Go Governor!

Looking for a disabilities rights expert/attorney who'd walk us through inclusionary measures found in common public spaces. (Already tried @accessliving.bsky.social and #EquipforEquality.)

This is what happens when you slash the government to fund SpaceX.

Democracy is dead. Resist the new totalitarianism.

“Morally disgusting”

Making the world safe again?

Slashing funding for life-saving treatment for personal gain: It's cruel, it's heartless, it's Elon.

Worker suppression
