the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

Going to start doing RETVRN posting for basic government functioning. Going “this is what they took from you” and it’s a childhood vaccine schedule and pasteurized milk without any manure in it.

Here is a list of groups that have been doing the work of advocating for queer and trans people who are incarcerated. You can help someone with as little as being a friendly pen pal who is able and willing to listen and respond regularly. legacy.lambdalegal.org/know-your-ri...

There are a few places in this country that serve as testing grounds for conservative tactics, places where you can see the future before it arrives elsewhere. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho is one of those places -- I've written about it before This video should scare the absolute shit out of everyone

I hate to be the one to get into semantics, but he won’t have that name if he’s Pope. You guys forget he’ll have to take a new hallowed name like Pope Calzonepuck XIV

The main thing I've learned in the last 3 years of being involved in local organizing it's that no one has a printer (you can go to the library though)

Something that wasn't brought to my attention until after publication is that GlomarResponder also made a lot of posts that appear to praise and defend Adolf Hitler.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't.

There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints. youtube.com/shorts/hhJdH...

Sheriff said he was "not acting in his official capacity," which means he gave up any claim of qualified immunity for battery and deprivation of rights.

This is a direct reference to the Proud Boys who use the gold wreath FAFO logo. I fully believe Elon is going to utilize vigilante violence to enforce things. You should take this seriously.

They renamed the gulf again

I believe we’ll look back at tonight as a major turning point.
